    I'm sure someone's figured this out...
    I need to put two different Articles listings on one page:

    [[Articles? &container=`69` &tpl=`board.ArticleRowTpl`]]
[[Articles? &container=`73` &tpl=`board.ArticleRowTpl`]]


    But the same content shows up twice -- the last-called resource ID.

    How to fix or work around this??

    Thank you, Tom

      I don't think that's an available feature at this time. You can feel free to put it in as a FR.

        Can I use GetResources for one of the Articles calls??
        Alternatively I can use the old 'blog' method.

        I think this would be a very useful feature.
        Do FRs go into bugs.modx.com??

        Thank you, Tom

            And when it is a feature you will need to call them uncached 
            [[!Articles? &container=`69` &tpl=`board.ArticleRowTpl`]]
[[!Articles? &container=`73` &tpl=`board.ArticleRowTpl`]]

                It is not good solution, but it works. For each container of news i created a chunk, in each chunk it is a code, that was specified above:
                [[Articles? &container=`IDOFCONTAINER`]]
[[+latest_posts]]


                Then, just call needed chunks on a page. This is ok if there are several categories and they are fixed.
                  never give up!

                  Thank you, I did it like this for the two articles containers:

                  [[!getResources?
  &tpl=`board.ArticleContentTpl`
  &parents=`73`
  &showHidden=`1`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &processTVs=`1`
  &tvPrefix=``
]]


                  The template is site-specific is the same as ArticleRowTpl with [[+content]] for the placeholder.

                  Thank you, Tom

                    rebel_forces solution worked for me too. Though it didn't work if I forced the snippets to be uncached in the chunk. Thanks all.

                      I could be totally wrong.

                      Equally easy to use multiple getResources calls.
