Help with GetPage

O.k. As usual, I'm feeling like an idiot because I can't get getPage to work. This is the first time I'm trying and the instructions seem fairly clear yet I get nothing when put the call in my page. So, here's the call:

[[!getPage? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &showHidden=`1` &parents=`4` &tpl=`page-obits` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &pageLimit=`5` &pageNavVar=`page.nav`]]

[[!+page.nav]]

I've basically copied this from the instruction page and made a few modifications. I just end up with a blank page. Everything is working fine when I'm using getResource, but I need to limit these to 5 per page and there will be a lot of them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's the page: http://www.fineganfh.com/newsite/obituaries/

Modx 2.2.4

Need anything else?

Thanks! [ed. note: mdsdesign last edited this post 14 years ago.]

What fields are in your chunk? What happens when you use just a vanilla get resources call, can you post the call? What happens if you remove the value for &tpl? It should return an array of values I think.

getResource works fine with the template. Here it is:

<div class="ObituariesRow">
        <div class="Date">Posted on [[+createdon:strtotime:date=`%A %b %e, %Y`]]</div>
        [[+tv.obitphoto]]
        <h4>[[+pagetitle]]</h4>
        <p>[[+introtext]]</p>
        <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" class="FullRead">Read the Full Obituary »</a>
        <div class="clear"></div>
</div>

The array works fine. Very long. Don't think I should paste it here.

What does your getResources call look like. I wonder about &includeContent or &includeTVs. What happens if you uncache the page too?

Here's the getResource call which is in place now and working fine.

[[getResources? &parents=`4` &tpl=`page-obits` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1`]]

O.k. - Uncached the page. Will try it.

I put the getPage call back in and uncached the page. Now it looks like I get the two documents that are there, just no navigation.

I am going to ask a question that may seem absurd but is getPage actually installed in PM?

I guess that answers that. Set the &pageLimit=`1` so you'll have to page with the 2 entries.

Yes. I checked that as well. Because, I'm certainly the kind of guy who would miss that.

Well, now. That makes sense.
