Using MIGX in Articles Container doesn't work.

I’m using Articles.
Each post has a picture with an alt-tag. I would like to use this picture both in the news-item itself and in the Articles-container.

In the news-item [[$blog_layout]] is working fine.

[[$blog_layout]]:

[[!getImageList? 
&tvname=`blog_tv` 
&tpl=`blog_tpl` 
]]

blog_tpl:

<img src="[[+image]]" />

Using [[+tv.blog_tv]] in the container returns:

[{"MIGX_id":"1","image":"blog1.jpg","alt_text":"Alt text"}]

In combination with getImageList

[[!getImageList?
        &tvname=`blog_tv`
        &tpl=`blog_tpl`]]

nothing happens.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

try to use it this way:

[[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`blog_tv`
    &tpl=`blog_tpl`
    &docid=`[[+id]]`
]]

Thanks Bruno for your answer. Another happy MODX user!

The only thing I don't understand is that when I put

[[!getImageList?
         &tvname=`blog_tv`
        &tpl=`blog_tpl`
        &docid=`[[+id]]`
        ]]

in the container, everything is working fine.

When I put the same code in a chunk and call the chunk with [[$name_of_the_chunk]] nothing happens...

does it work, when you call it cached?

[[getImageList?
         &tvname=`blog_tv`
        &tpl=`blog_tpl`
        &docid=`[[+id]]`
        ]]

may be you will need to add the property to your chunk:

[[$name_of_the_chunk? &id=`[[+id]]`]]

Bruno, thanks again.

[[$name_of_the_chunk? &id=`[[+id]]`]]

was the solution to the problem.

Don't ask me why..
