[SOLVED] TV placeholder in Archivist?

Is there a way to get at the template variables within Archivist?

I have a TV for my categories on my blog resources (tv is an auto-tag), and although I can get the archivist call to work in pulling out either date-related posts, or category related posts, I can’t get at the tv for the category within the archivist call.

So, TV is tvBlogTags (auto-tag, delimiter = ,)
Parent page call (id=7):

[[$list-blog-post]]

$list-blog-post code:

<div>
 [[!getResources?  
    &parents=`[[*id]]`  
    &tpl=`list-blog-post-tpl`
    &limit=`5`  
    &sortdir=`DESC`  
    &includeTVs=`1`
    &processTVs=`1`
    &includeContent=`1`   
    &depth=`0`  
    &sortby=`publishedon` 
    ]]  
</div><!-- eof list-docs -->

list-blog-post-tpl code - works perfectly for the $list-blog-post call:

<div class="blogPost">
  <h3 class="blogPageTitle">[[+pagetitle]]</h3>
  <h5 class="blogPageLongTitle">[[+longtitle]]</h5>
  <p class="blogContentText>">[[+introtext]]<a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">  <span style="font-size : small;"> Read more..</span>.</a></p>
  <div class="blogDocumentInfo">Published on [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d %Y`]] under [[+tv.tvBlogTags]]</div>
  <div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<!-- eof item -->

Archivist call on resource (id = 40)

[[!getArchives? &parents=`7` &tpl=`list-blog-post-tpl`
]]

So, is there a way to get at the tv in the template?

Modx 2.21-pl (trad)
PHP 5.3.0
Archivist 1.1.0
getResources 1.3.1

Many thanks

OK, so the answer to this question is YES!!

By combining the getResourceField call into the template, I was able to get the category from my TV tvBlogTags and hey presto!

<h4 class="blogPageTitle">[[+pagetitle]] ([[+longtitle]])</h4>
<p class="blogSummaryText">[[+introtext]]<a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">  >>></a></p>
<div class="blogDocumentInfo">Published on [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d %Y`]] under 
[[getResourceField? &id=`[[+id]]` &field=`tvBlogTags` &isTV=`1` &processTV=`1`]]</div>
<!-- eof list-blog-archive-post -->
