Content from a different page displayed on another

Hello all you MODxers,

How do I display the content from another page in the content section of a new page? If I create a chunk, I’m concerned that it won’t be easy for my client to edit it. Ideally, I just want the content to be duplicated so that I don’t have redundant copies that need to be kept up-to-date.

Cheers,
J.

Use a TV with @DOCUMENT binding.

Use a TV with @DOCUMENT binding.

Right. I’ve got a TV with @DOCUMENT as the source. That of course won’t work, because I need to specify a page after it. How do I use a TV to get a nice drop-down of all the page titles? Is there a variable which contains them all, or do I have to do an @EVAL database call?

I’m new to MODx, and most of the tricks I’ve learned have come from the included templates. I dread to think how much uneccessary code I would have written by now if left to my own devices!

Cheers,
J.

IMO, you’d have to make @EVAL (or a simple snippet) to retrieve document titles and their IDs to build the list of document you need. Then, the ID chosen in the dropdown could be used in a chunk with GetField (see my sig) call to display ANY part of the document chosen.

Grad,

your GetField snippet worked beautifully, but there was an issue with the install: the actual .inc.php file was not placed in the correct location, although the other files were. it was shoved three directories down in it’s own private assets/snippets/getfield/ dir! I just moved it up the heirarchy to where MODx was expecting to find it, and deleted the extra directories.

Many thanks for this feature!
