Hi All,

modx revo 2.5.2
getresources 1.5.1
localhost mamp 5.3.2
if 1.1

The scenario is I wish to use getresources to generate a list of boxes and the box size is determined through a template variable checkbox within my template.

The getResources resides in the template and calls the 'item' chunk

[[!getResources? 
&tpl=`item`
     &limit=`100` 
    &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &tvPrefix=`` &parents=`4` &includeContent=`1` &showHidden=`1`  
]]

'item' chunk

[[If? &subject=`[[+item_size]]` &operator=`EQ` &operand=`yes` &then=`[[$item-small]]`&else=`[[$item-large]]`]]

"item_size" TV input type radio buttons - Input Option Values yes==yes||no==no

item-small chunk -

<div class=" item" style="">
    <div class="item-inside">
    <h3>[[+pagetitle]]</h3>

    </div>
  </div>

item-large chunk

<div class="item col2">
<div class="item-inside">
    <h3>[[+pagetitle]]</h3>
    </div>
  </div>

A list is generated and the radio button tv does determine the size of the box generated however the box [[+pagetitle]] always shows the first box name rather than the box it represents.

Hope this is clear and anyone can help.

Thanks in advance.

It might help to call the pagetitle field uncached:

[[!+pagetitle]]

The use of the If snippet I always find a bit clumsy. Since your two item-chunks differ just in the first line, you could replace your chunk item by the following which uses output modifiers:

<div [[+item_size:is=`yes`:then=`class=" item" style=""`:else=`class="item col2"`]]>
    <div class="item-inside">
    <h3>[[+pagetitle]]</h3>
    </div>
</div>

And so you need only this single chunk, not three. [ed. note: ottogal last edited this post 13 years, 10 months ago.]

ottogal,

solution 2 sis the cracker I was after. I was definitely overcomplicating this. Thanks for the help.

Just for the record I tested using an uncached pagetitle within the call and that did not work with the if statement.
