getResources not displaying output.

    Alright, my friends. Apologies if this has been discussed a million times, but none of the solutions I've seen posted have worked for me. Not sure if posting all this info will help jog a fix from one of you, but it's worth a shot. I'm quite new to MODx, and am at a loss here. (And I don't wish to revert to Evo just to use Ditto as some of the other users have.)

    I'm using getResources to call all the resources under a parent. This is to display thumbnails and text which are all contained withing TVs. However, it doesn't output anything. I'm not sure what's happening, but here's all the info for you:

    Snippet call (in a Chunk):
    <div id="releasesContainer">
[[!getresources?
&parents=`[[*id]]`
&tpl=`list_studio_releases_tpl`
&sortdir='DESC'
&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1`
&tvPrefix=``
&depth=`1`
&sortby=`menuindex`
]]
</div>


    list_studio_releases_tpl Chunk:
    <div id="releasesThumbs">
<img src="[[+release_thumb]]" border="0">
<div class="overlay">
<br />
<span class="style3"><strong>[[+release_artist]]</strong>
<br />
<p class="style6">[[+release_title]]
<br />
<p class="style1">[[+release_date]]
</p>
</p>
</span></div>
<div class="overlayLink">
<a href="[[+release_url]]"><img src="assets/releases/img/overlay.png" border="0"></a>
</div>
</div>


    MODx version: MODX Revolution 2.1.3-pl (traditional)
    getResources version: 1.4.0
    Server info: WAMPServer 2.1
    Apache version: 2.2.17
    PHP version: 5.3.0
    MySQL version: 5.5.8

    Have tried:
    -clearing cache
    -reinstalling getResources
    -re-writing the snippet call
    -outputting simple text only in the tpl
    -publishing/un-publishing resources

    The child resources in question aren't hidden from the menus, nor do they have any actual content (other than the TVs). I can get their content to display using strictly code, but I need this to be relatively automatic and painless for a client. Also, I haven't touched the getResources snippet itself, so all that code is as-is upon download.

    Any possible help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully it's just an error in my code, because I'm kind of a moron. And thank you in advance for bearing with a MODx beginner.

      In your example call posted above, you are calling the "getresources" snippet instead of "getResources".

        Egads, you're right. See what coding without coffee does? Thanks for pointing that one out, mate. However, still no output after fixing that. Still though, much obliged. smiley

          Remove the &tpl property; do you get any output? If not, you are not getting the Resources. Make sure they are published, or you set 
          &showUnpublished=`1`
          and that you have the correct parents specified.

            Hmm, nothing when I removed the &tpl property. The Resources are published, but I also tried with the piece you sent anyway. Still nothing, sadly. Yes my Resources do work with getResourceField, and the rest of the site is functional. Given that I've re-installed getResources during this, it might possibly be a problem with my localhost rubbish.

            I think I'll try putting this up on my webspace to see if that does anything. I thank you very much again for your help, though!

              Try this.
              &showHidden=`1`

                The Resources aren't hidden from menus, but I tried with that anyway. Still no dice. *shakes fist* Thanks, though! It was worth a shot.

                Currently waiting on an upload to my web server (which, of course, is being slow because I apparently killed the internet and technology as a whole while doing this), with the hope that it somehow magically gets fixed.

                  Okay, upon messing around with this for some time, I took out the :
                  &sortdir='DESC'

                  It works now for some reason. Not entirely sure why that happened, but I'll not argue this. Thanks for the help, guys! You rock.

                    Do not use single quote. Use back tick for parameters.

                      Oh, wow. I didn't even realize that I had used quotes for that. *sigh* Thanks, mate!
