How to replicate a Ditto call with a getResources call??

    In Evo, I had this Ditto call to render child items on the parent page:

    [[Ditto? &parents=`13` &display=`13` &removeChunk=`Comments` &tpl=`jobs` &paginate=`1` &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` &extenders=`summary,dateFilter` &dateFormat=`%A, %B %d, %Y` &display=`10` &filter=`id,14,2`]]


    In Revo, I’m trying to do this with:

    [[!getResources?
  &element=`getResources`
  &elementClass=`modSnippet`
  &tpl=`jobs_post`
  &hideContainers=`0`
  &parents=`[[*id]]`
  &pageVarKey=`page`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &showHidden=`1`
  &sortby=`menuindex`
  &limit=`10`
  &resources=`-10`]]


    This getResources call does not display anything on the parent page.
    Why?? How do I fix it??
    -10 is a form that I want to exclude from display on the parent page, it’s a separate document.

    Thank you, Tom

      What do you get with this?

      [[!getResources?
  &tpl=`jobs_post`
  &hideContainers=`0`
  &parents=`[[*id]]`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &showHidden=`1`
  &sortby=`menuindex`
]]


      Does the page with the getResources tag have published children?

      If so, and you still get nothing, post your Tpl Chunk.

        Thank you for replying so quickly...I don’t get anything to display.

        Yes, the resource I want to always display is published, other resources are not published since I don’t want them displayed.

        I cleared site cache too and tried several times...

        The template chunk is:

        <h3>[[*pagetitle]]</h3>
        [[*content]]

        Thank you, Tom

          Change your template chunk to

          <h3>[[+pagetitle]]</h3>
          [[+content]]
