getResources - includeTVList/processTVList

Hey guys!

Quick question, seems stupid but I've got the feeling this isn't working. I've got 2 TVs assigned to my template. slideshowImage and slideshowColor. Both work fine with I use them [[+tv.slideshowImage]] when &includeTVs=`1` and &processTVs=`1`. However, to lighten the load and improve the caching/speed, I wanted to use the new 1.4.0 >= feature TVList. Both won't work in conjunction with their predecessor includeTVs (so includeTVs=`1` and processTVList=`tv,tv` or includeTVList=`tv,tv` and processTVs=`1`).

Is this a bug or a default behaviour which I am totally not getting?

Tx in advance guys! [ed. note: ReSpawN last edited this post 14 years, 8 months ago.]

Check the documentation; the new operators are for the tvFilters property, nothing to do with includeTVList and processTVList, which allow you to explicitly limit which Template Variables are included and/or processed.

Errm, either I'm misunderstanding you or we're totally missing each others points.

Basically what I am trying to accomplish is, out of 6 TVs linked to the resources template, only to include and parse/process 2 specific ones instead of all 6 which I don't need and will save a bit of performance. Thus the question remains, are includeTVList and processTVList exactly for that purpose or for the tvFilters like you described?

The documentation clearly states;

"An optional comma-delimited list of TemplateVar names to include explicitly if includeTVs is 1 "
"An optional comma-delimited list of TemplateVar names to process explicitly. TemplateVars specified here must be included via includeTVs/includeTVList "

First off I found one of my bugs in the reasoning here on my end, I need includeTVs to be set to 1 first in order to fetch 2 specific out of a total of 6 template variables. Second, I can't see any relation to the tvFilters property which you are referring to.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but either something is going awry in translation (yes, in my head ) or I'm totally misunderstanding your point thus the functionality of the two new 1.4.0 + properties.

Tx Jason.

I guess I misread, I thought you were saying you wanted to use ">=" with processTVList. And yes, you have to include whatever TV's you want to process, with and (optionally) . [ed. note: opengeek last edited this post 14 years, 8 months ago.]

That clears things up quite a bit. I noticed that using ` in the content here is kinda messing stuff up...

Thanks, I've got it fixed now!
