Hi!

As noob - I am trying to get more and more into Migx, Modx and now also in getResources.
I'm using this code here to get items I'm putting into a TV called "Services".


[[!getResources? 
&tpl=`get_list` 
&parents=`0`
&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1`
]]

When I change the $parents value to something different than 0, I get nothing shown.
Now I would like to have the latest three Items shown on my homepage.
To get all Items shown is working.

I tried to use

&limit=`3`

- but this is not working...

this is the "get_list" chunk:

[[!getImageList? 
    &tvname=`services`
    &tpl=`span4`
    &docid=`[[+id]]`
  ]]

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

do you get anything, when you change your get_list -chunk to:

<h3>[[+pagetitle]]([[+id]])</h3>
[[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`services`
    &tpl=`span4`
    &docid=`[[+id]]`
  ]]

and you don't need

&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1`

here, since you are not calling TVs by getResources directly here.

also I think you can call your snippets cached here:

[[getResources.........

and

[[getImageList.........

this may give you a bit more speed, after the page is in the cache.

He Bruno - thanks for the reply.

I tried your code:

<h3>[[+pagetitle]]([[+id]])</h3>
[[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`services`
    &tpl=`span4`
    &docid=`[[+id]]`
  ]]

I am getting the Pagetitle and the number of the startpage and the 2nd page I am adding the items to.

And I deleted the unneeded parameters.

...no - only in one page - "services"

The idea is to get the 3 latest "items" out of the migx Stream of "services" to "home".

Or am I wrong with that idea? I mean, it's working like it should. The only thing not working is to limit the count of showing up posts/items.

thank you!

then you don't need getResources at all, if I understand you correctly.

just

[[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`services`
    &tpl=`span4`
    &docid=`hereTheIDofYourServices-Resource`
    &limit=`3`
  ]]

Huch!
Oh Bruno - I am sorry for the hurry. Right indeed. It's working!

I guess I really don't know what than getResources are good for...I didn't know that the call would be so easy then without them.

  &tpl=`3`

at least I changed that to

  &limit=`3`

- and everything works now. Every day a little bit to learn.

Thank you very much!!!

glad you got it working.
sorry, should be &limit=3` - changed it above.

you need getResources, if you want to filter,sort,list.... modx-resources.
