Thanks for the both of you. Also for being patient to asnwer my questions.

Just to make sure if I understand it correctly, it should look like this:
resource----template---snippet_call(s)---TV's
---chunk

and what I have right now is:
resource----template---TV's

So the method I sould use is to make a chunk for the calls and place that chunk in the template? Like mentioned here: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGX.Frontend-Usage under Using getResources values in a MIGX call?

I am lost now to what to put in each:

resource: this one is ok, this holds the data via the migx TV's
**********
template: this would call for the chunk? like [[$getResources-tpl]]
**********
TV's: will be called by the chunk??
**********
chunk(s): something like this???
[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`project_item`
&tpl=`yourMIGXtpl` <*******what is this one?
&docid=`[[+id]]`
&limit=`1`
&pagetitle=`[[+pagetitle]]`
]]

and something like this? Is this another chunk? named yourMIGXtpl??
<img src="[[+image]]" alt="[[+property.pagetitle]]" width="589" height="400" />

[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`project_item`
&tpl=`yourMIGXtpl`
&docid=`[[+id]]`
&offset=`1`
&pagetitle=`[[+pagetitle]]`
]]

<a href="[[~[[+property.originalResourceId]]]]">See more images from [[+property.pagetitle]]</a>
<a href="[[+image]]" class="structural" title="[[+property.pagetitle]]" rel="shadowbox[[[+property.pagetitle]]]" />[[+property.pagetitle]]</a>
**********
So in my case do I need 4 chunks? and only 2 of them will be called by the template?

I am sure once I understand, it will make sence then. [ed. note: openstep last edited this post 13 years, 10 months ago.]

let's say you have some projects as subresources in your portfolio-page
each project-resource has some MIGX-images.

Then you would put getResources to your portfolio-page to get the projects:

<ul>[[getResources? &tpl=`yourProjectTpl` &parents=`[[*id]]` &includeTVs=`1` &includeContent=`1`]]</ul>

yourProjectTpl is a chunk with name 'yourProjectTpl' , you can name it as you like.

content of yourProjectTpl something like that:

<li class="project">
<h2><a id="[[+pagetitle]]" name="[[+pagetitle]]"></a>[[+pagetitle]]</h2>
<div class="proj-content">
<div class="url"><a href="http://[[+project_url]]">[[+project_url]]</a></div><!--end url-->
<p>[[+content]]</p>					
<div class="proj-box">
<div class="slides"> 

<div class="slide-nrs">1 of 1</div>  	         		
[[getImageList?
&docid=`[[+id]]` 
&tvname=`project_item`
&tpl=`yourProjectImageTpl` 
&pagetitle=`[[+pagetitle]]`
]]
 
<ul>
  <li>Design</li>		                            
  <li>CSS/(X)HTML</li>
  <li>Programozás</li>
</ul>
                                
</div><!--end slides!-->
</div><!--end proj-box-->
</div><!--end project content-->
</li>

the chunk 'yourProjectImageTpl'

[[+idx:is=`1`:then=`
<a rel="shadowbox[[[+property.pagetitle]]]" title="[[+property.pagetitle]]" href="[[+image]]">
<img width="589" height="400" alt="[[+property.pagetitle]]" src="[[+image]]"></a>
`:else=`
<a href="[[+image]]" class="structural" title="[[+property.pagetitle]]" rel="shadowbox[[[+property.pagetitle]]]">[[+property.pagetitle]]</a
`]]
