How to use tplWrapper

I'm trying to use tplWrapper but I can't get it working (it doesn't list anything but the tplWrapper).

This is my tpl:

<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#[[+alias]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a></li>

This is my tplWrapper:

<ul id="jobList"></ul>

I suppose I should place something inside the #jobList ul tag but I don't know what. Could you please help me out?

I suspect you'll need to use the &toPlaceholder=`myplaceholder` property, then add the [[+myplaceholder]] placeholder in your tplWrapper.

Thanks for your quick reply Susan. I've already tried it though and it doesn't seem to work. Moreover, placing the placeholder inside the tplWrapper breaks the getResources call as it doesn't return anything at all.

Are you sure you have the latest version (1.6.0) with the feature?

Hm. Tried it out, and it definitely doesn't seem to work as expected. Can't find any documentation on how it should be used, either. Jason?

This should do the trick:

<ul id="jobList">[[+output]]</ul>

Yep, that does the job. For some reason I had thought the wrapper placeholder should be [[+result]].

Snippet call:

[[getResources? &tpl=`listTpl` &tplWrapper=`wrapperTpl`]]

I'm having a simliar problem. Here is my getResources call:

[[getResources?
	&parents=`27`
	&limit=`99`
	&depth=`1`
	&sortdir=`ASC`
	&includeTVs=`1`
	$toPlaceholder=`output`
	&tplPath=`[[++assets_path]]/tpl/chunks/`
	&tplWrapper=`@FILE grWrapperSpeakersGrid.tpl`
	&tpl=`@FILE grSpeakersGrid.tpl`
]]

my `grWrapperSpeakersGrid.tpl` looks like this:

<ul class="multi-list four-cols">
	[[+output]]
</ul>

This just churns out an ugly array.

I'm having to use the old `[[out:notempty=...` trick, which is fine - but seeing as though I'm on v1.6 using tplWrapper just seems 'nicer'. Any pointers?

It puts out the array if it can't find your tpl.
