Choose gallery from list TV

Is there any way of creating a TV that gives a list of galleries from the Gallery addon and returns the ID of the gallery chosen? Failing that, are there any other solutions friendlier than having a user type in a gallery ID to attach a gallery to a particular page?

I have looked creating a custom TV myself, but the docs are sketchy and I don’t know nearly enough Sencha/PHP to do it.

you can try this:

create a chunk ’galleryoption’:



and use a dropdownTv with input-option-values:

Thanks! That works almost perfectly.

For some reason I can’t fathom,outputting the TV on a page returns it with a linebreak, which breaks any snippet calls it’s in. Using [[*gallery-id:strip]] seems to work fine though.

I used this method in Revo 2.1.3.

In some pages it works perfectly, in others the TV resets to empty whenever I open the page for editing. Any idea, why?

Hey, yes from a quick test I am seeing the reset on the editing of the page.
The value is still stored for the TV but I'm guessing the:

part of the code is the weakness -- It's only one way, and does not know what to display when the TV edit page is loaded.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix it. I would really really like this to work if anyone has a suggestion.

Hello
Did you try to put your condition UNCACHED ?

[[!+name]] ==[[!+id]] (just put a " ! "before the " + " sign)

Not sure it's the answer, but it could...

Hi

Gallery 1.4.0
2 input-types of TV (galleryalbumlist, galleryitem) and 1 output-types (galleryitem) present.

I am used input-types galleryalbumlist and output-types default for my TV

Best Regards

Just a note, i've recently tried this and I cant get it working perfectly IF you use a Radio or Checkbox as the Input type

Edit:

Ive managed to get this working but if you edit the said page with the gallery it loses the TV value.
TV: GalleryList
Input Type: Check Box
Input Options @EVAL return 'Choose Gallery'.$modx->runSnippet('GalleryAlbums',array('limit'=>'100','prominentOnly'=>'0','rowTpl'=>'galleryoption'));
Output Option: default

gallery option tpl
