    @BobRay and @microcipcip , thanks for seeing that. It makes a lot of sense now.

    I did declare the $id in the snippet, just before $tvval, but it didn't work. I should also point out that I'm using getresources via getPage@Pagination. Is that a problem

      @BobRay, I've changed the code a bit per Bob's guide @ http://bobsguides.com/revolution-objects.html

      <?php

//Get TV Value
$tv = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar',array('name'=>'PreviewImage-Messages'));

/* get the raw content of the TV */
$rawValue = $tv->getValue($id);

/* get the processed content of the TV */
$processedValue = $tv->renderOutput($id);

//Get poster path
$poster_path = pathinfo($processedValue);

//Output thumb path
return $poster_path['dirname'] . "/thumbs/" . $poster_path['basename'];
?>


      I know we're a step closer. Can you tell me what I'm missing? [ed. note: treigh last edited this post 14 years, 4 months ago.]

          You should always get a snippet working on its own before bringing getPage into the picture. There's no reason to make things more complicated than they need to be. Once it's working the way you want, it's easy to convert to a getPage call.


          Without knowing exactly what's in the TV and what kind of TV it is, it's hard to help further.

            Thanks guys. I've tried all we could think of, but nothing is giving. So I won't waste any more time on this. I'm opting for a plan B: Manually adding those paths. It sucks, but it's worth it.

              The good news is that with the hard-coded paths, the page loads will be significantly faster. wink
