Using GetResources to show nth child

Hi there,

I'm trying to use getResources to get info from the nth child of a parent resource.
Is there an easy way to do this or can anyone point me in the direction of a snippet that can get the id of the nth child (where I can specify n, obviously).

Thanks in advance!

This may not be a method recommended by purists but one approach would be

1. Use the tpl_N parameter where N = 9
2. In the standard tpl leave the chunk blank
3. Set the limit = 9

The other way would be to write some SQL to get the 9th row via offset and return the resource id of that row.

OK this is actually pretty easy.

Just make a snippet to read all the child page ids for a given resource into an array and then return the nth record.

So snippet (getNthChild) will look like:


And getResources call will look something like like:
