NewsListing and NewsPublisher into a chunk

    I have more than 17 blogs to manage. I thought it would be easier to manage if I could call the same chunk from every blog’s main folder, including a TV that gets the current ID for NewsListing’s startID and NewsPublisher’s folder. Is it a good idea? Is there an API that gets the current ID?

      Are you asking about getting the current document ID? There is the [*id*] tag and the $modx->documentIdentifier attribute on the MODx object. No need for a TV I don’t think, unless I am misunderstanding the issue. huh
