getResources - group by TV

May be someone here has an idea for my need.

I have resources with a number of different TVs. One TV for example is a radio button with five values.

What I want to do is to display the resources in groups (TVs) with getResources on a page. One need for example is to group the values of the radio button TV and display them in an accordion with the radio button value as header which shows all resources according to this value.

The different TVs in the resources are needed to categorize them for example by place, by topic, by facilitator, etc. and show the results on different pages.

Thanks a lot for any help, Gudrun

Have you tried with &tvFilters parameter plus &includeTVs, &processTVs and &sortbyTV ?

Yes, I did. All of the parameters. But I need not to filter them. I want to show all the resources but they should be grouped by the values of the TV radio button.

What is exactly that does not work? Can you give us an example of your code? It is difficult to help you without that.

Thank you for thinking about it. I didn't think that it didn't work - just wondering how to group the different categories.

Here is an example

Context
Folder (ID7)
- Resource (ID99)
- Resource (ID97)
- Resource (ID96)
- Resource (ID95)
- Resource (ID94)
- Resource (ID93)
- Resource (ID89)
- etc.

The resources have the same template wich additional TVs like

Venue (Radio Button TV)
- Rom
- Paris
- Budapest
- Lissabon
- Madrid
- etc.

Topic (Radio Button TV)
- Art
- Music
- TV
- Movie

Facilitator (Text TV)

Date (Date TV)


---------------

[getResources? &parents=`7` &limit=`9999` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &tpl=`group` ]]

---------------

On the page I'd like to offer the visitors different views - within an accordion

Simple version - one level

VENUE

Rom (header accordion, clickable)
- resource 93 (result, slide)
- resource 97 (result, slide)
- resource 99(result, slide)
Paris (header, accordion, clickable)
- resource 95 (result, slide)
- resource 99 (result, slide)
- etc.

Extended version - multiple levels

TOPIC

Art (header, accordion level 1, clickable)
- Rom (header, accordion level 2, clickable)
- resource...(result, slide)
- resource ...(result, slide)
- Paris (header, accordion level 2, clickable)
- resource (result, slide)
- resource (result, slide)
- etc.
Movie ((header, accordion level 1, clickable)
- Rom (header, accordion level 2, clickable)
- resource...(result, slide)
- resource ...(result, slide)
- Paris (header, accordion level 2, clickable)
- resource (result, slide)
- resource (result, slide)
- etc.

Hope, it's a bit more clear now.

I think you may do that with &tvFilters=`` and &sortbyTV parameter , see the example below.

Basically I used: &tvFilters=`venue!=` which, in plain english means: If venue template variabile is NOT empty, then output the document, also, order them by venue name (with &sortbyTV).

That sounds good. Thank you very much for sharing and the explantations. Didn't know that thing with the exclamation mark yet. Will try it tomorrow and let you know, if I could manage it to work.

That's a filter, further details in the documentation, here (see tvFilters):

I think that they're standard php operators, you can see a better explanation on w3schools website:

Try to Re-call getresources in your getresources tpl.
