Snippet with TV inside chunk - Resolved

Modx 2.2
getResources : 1.4.2

TV name : eventDate (type = date)

Snippet for display a date in french :
[[!date-fr? &tv=`[[*eventDate]]`]]

Output example : Mardi, 10 janvier 2012

Chunk name : evenements


getResources call


I have a problem with the eventDate TV in my chunk. If I write my snippet call in my chunk like this the TV is not process, all the dates in my listing are the same ex: Mercredi 31 décembre 1969.

To see if my snippet was working, I use a string instead of the TV in the snippet call The output was correct «Vendredi 27 janvier 2012»

Does someone could gently tell me how to write a snippet with a TV as property in a chunk?

I hope I described my problem correctly, English is not my first language,

Thank you for answering

I think you need to prefix your TV in the chunk with tv so instead of:



it should be:



and make sure you set &processTVs in your getResources call to 1.

Let me know if it works.

Good luck. [ed. note: benmarte last edited this post 14 years, 9 months ago.]

If it's in a getResources Tpl chunk, it needs to be (I'm sure this is what Ben meant to type):



Or, you can set &tvPrefix=`` and use this:

Thanks , Ben and Bob

is working very fine.

Thanks again
