I'm using a multi-select box for related pages using

http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Creating+a+multi-select+box+for+related+pages+in+your+template

This all works great except I'm not able to display a TV value from a related page.

How do I modify the code below to also include TV values?

if (empty($input)) { return 'This article is so unique, that we couldn\'t find anything related to it!'; }
$tpl = $modx->getOption('tpl',$scriptProperties,'relatedPagesTpl');
if ($modx->getChunk($tpl) == '') { return 'We found some related pages, but don\'t know how to present it.'; }
$ids = explode(',', $input);
$output = array();
foreach ($ids as $key => $value) {
  $resource = $modx->getObject('modResource',array(
    'published' => 1,
    'id' => $value));
  if ($resource instanceof modResource) {
    $output[] = $modx->getChunk($tpl,$resource->toArray());
  }
}
return implode('',$output);

Thanks

Try this:

if ($resource instanceof modResource) {
    $fields = $resource->toArray();
    $fields['TvPlaceHolderName'] = $resource->getTVValue('TvName');
    $output[] = $modx->getChunk($tpl,$fields);
  }

If you replace 'TvName' with the ID of the TV, it will be a little faster.

you have to replace TvName with the name of your TV and TvPlaceHolderName with the Name for your placeholder

if your TV-name is myTV and you use

$fields['myTV'] = $resource->getTVValue('myTV');

you can use this placeholder in your chunk:

[[+myTV]]
