I have a Template variable that is assigned to the creator of the software.
People will then be able to do a search for all pages with software by a specific vendor using tvExplorer.

I was wondering if there was a way to auto populate the drop down menu they use for the search with all choices in my vendor TV.

Something like this?

<?php
$output = '';
$TVarray = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array('vendorTV'));
if(!empty($TVarray['vendorTV'])){ 
$output .= '<select id="vendor">';
$values = $TVarray['vendorTV'];
foreach($values as $value){
$output .= '<option value="'.$value.'">'.$value.'</option>';
}
$output .= '</select>';
}
return $output;
?>

You’d need some sort of action either JS or POST to send the value somewhere.
