Hi all,

getResources gives me a lot of flexibility, but isn't that flexible when it comes to the following problem:

1. I want to aggregate resources into one document
2. the resources should be formatted via chunk templates
3. I created differnt chunks (e.g. tpl1, tpl2, tpl3, ...)
4. therefor I created a TV (text) where the templatename for each resource is stored.

What I want to do is to pass the value of the TV to getResources and that it renders me the resource with the attached template.

I thought that with the options &includeTVs and &processTVs the TVs are filled into an array and that I could pick the data from there. Something like this:
```
//Definition of the added Option
$passedTVValue = !empty($passedTVValue) ? $passedTVValue : '';

//pick the data from the $properties-array
$dynamicTpl = $properties[$tvPrefix . $passedTVValue];
  
//render the resource with this Tpl 
if (!empty($passedTVValue) && empty($resourceTpl)) $resourceTpl = parseTpl($dynamicTpl, $properties);
```
But: no luck.

Can anyone advise me how to get the result I wish?

all the Best

Me again...

Problem solved. (guess I slept not enough)

It was easier than I thought. I could pass a new Option to the snippet:
```
[[!getResourcesAltTpl? 
&tplAltTV =`SubartikelTemplate`
```
and processed it with:
```
    $tplAltTVx = $properties[$tvPrefix . $tplAltTV];
    if (!empty($tplAltTV) && empty($resourceTpl)) $resourceTpl = parseTpl($tplAltTVx,$properties);
```
Best.
