getResource call will not get image tv from child resource

I am trying to use getResources to retrieve some content from a child resource. Everything works except the image assigned to the tv.news_thumb template variable.

Here is the getResource call.

[[!getResources?
&parents= `[[*id]]`
&tpl= `news_list_output`
&limit= `10`
&sortdir= `ASC`
&includeTVs= `1`
&processTVs= `1`
&showUnpublished= `1`
&includeContent= `1`
&depth= `0`
&sortby= `menuindex`
]]

Here is the news_list_output template.

<h2>[[+longtitle]]</h2>
<img src= "[[+tv.news_thumb]]">
<p>[[+introtext:ellipsis=`200`]]</p>

Any ideas why it's not picking up the image? The child resource is unpublished. Thanks.

debug : Don't put a tpl and look at the array output. Can you see your tv ?

By taking out the tpl, it does pull in the tv.

Removing the tpl does get the tv image.

Removing the tpl does get the tv image.

try this :

[[getResources?
&parents= `[[*id]]`
&tpl= `news_list_output`
&limit= `10`
&sortdir= `ASC`
&includeTVs= `1`
&includeTVList= `news_thumb`
&processTVs= `1`
&processTVList= `news_thumb`
&prepareTVList=`news_thumb`
&showUnpublished= `1`
&includeContent= `0`
&depth= `0`
&sortby= `menuindex`
]]

if it doesn't work :
can you copy the array output here ?
have you looked at the html source to see the output ?
can you confirm that the tv output type is "text" and are you sure the name "news_thumb" is correct?

Tips: never use getResources uncached tag, and &includeContent=0 if you dont output the [[+content]].

Same result. There is something about the output tpl. If I take the tpl out of the getResource call, the array outputs the image. Put the tpl back in and the image disappears.

Did you try:

<h2>[[+longtitle]]</h2>
<img src="[[+news_thumb]]">
<p>[[+introtext:ellipsis=`200`]]</p>

yeah and you can try to output the tv without the <img> tag to see what you get.
at this point if you didn't give us some code to check (output or url) we can't help more..

I will try taking the tv prefix out. Is there something in the tv input/output settings that I should consider? I have them both set as Image type.

output should be TEXT not image. otherwise you are making something like this :

<img src="<img src="">"> and the image will not show..
