getResources 1.4.0-pl - Limit TV's Usage?

Hey guys,
I know that of getResources 1.4.0-pl OpenGeek has added the feature to limit which tv's get called for better performance. Am a little confuse on the documentation. How would I go about calling only the selected template variables I want?

Am using this getPage snippet:

[[!getPage?
 &elementClass=`modSnippet`
 &element=`getResources`
 &parents=`[[*id]]`
 &limit=`10`
 &includeTVs=`1`
 &processTVs=`1`
 &includeContent=`1`
 &showHidden=`1`
 &sortdir=`ASC`
 &tpl=`gd-list`
]]

I thought it was called thought IncludeTVs and processTVs, like so:

 &includeTVs=`tv-name, tv-name2, tv-name3`
 &processTVs=`tv-name, tv-name2, tv-name3`

But I guess am wrong. [ed. note: FireDart last edited this post 15 years ago.]

I think you want this (IIRC):

&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1` // not necessary if you can use the raw content of all TVs
&tvList=`tv1,tv2,tv3`
&tvPrefix=``   // or whatever

Almost...

&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1` // not necessary if you can use the raw content of all TVs
&includeTVList=`tv1,tv2,tv3` // only includes these TVs
&processTVList=`tv2` // only process tv2 (must be in includeTVList if specified)
&tvPrefix=``   // or whatever

Ahhh, I can't believe how much faster the load time is.

However it seems that &processTVList is not needed to process the tv's.

Not sure if this is a bug.

Input Option
- ListBox (Multi-Select)
Output Option
- Delimiter " " (Using a space)

@FireDart: It depends on how you're using them. If you're just using the selected options, you might not need to process them. Be sure you test one with multiple values selected.

@OpenGeek: Thanks for the correction. The new ones are not here yet and I was too lazy to look at the code wink

This is not a bug; if you specify &processTVs=`1`, all the "included" TVs are processed, unless you limit which TVs are processed using &processTVList=`tv1,tv2`.
