How to "forward" info to another page ?[SOLVED]

Hello,

I'm stuck with this problem.

I have created 2 TV's , one which has text input and another with image input.

So i put that two TV's in a chunk:

<div>
<img src="[[*imageTV]]" alt />
<p>[[*textTV]]</p>
</div>

and later that chunk in a template:

...code...
<div class="center">
[[$mainChunk]]
</div>
...code...

And when I create a new document with that template, it works fine. So I created 2 documents this way.

Now, what I need is to fetch all the data of those pages and when I create a new document, to somehow "forward" that new info to another document where I need to show all those info.

In that document I need something like this:

<a href="firstDocumentURL">
<div>
<img src="firstImage"/>
<p>firstText</p>
</div>
</a>
<a href="secondDocumentURL">
<div>
<img src="secondImage"/>
<p>secondText</p>
</div>
</a>
<a href="aNewAddedDocumentURL1">
<div>
<img src="aNewAddedDocumentImage1"/>
<p>aNewAddedDocumentText1</p>
</div>
</a>
...
and so on

So, I need to fetch all the URLs,images and text and to show them to another page.

Is this somehow possible ? I am really stuck.

Thank you. [ed. note: vucko2405 last edited this post 13 years, 6 months ago.]

Are these documents all under 1 parent ?

You can use getResources to aggregate the data:

[[!getResources? &parents=`22` &tpl=`mytemplate`]]

Update the parent and tpl name.

Create a chunk something like this:

<div>
<a href="[[+id]]"><img src="[[+imageTV]]"/></a>
<p><a href="[[+id]]">[[*textTV]]</a></p>
</div>

No reason to call getResources uncached there:

[[getResources? &parents=`22` &tpl=`mytemplate`]]

Your tpl is also off a bit:

<div>
<a href="[[+id]]"><img src="[[+tv.imageTV]]"></a>
<p><a href="[[+id]]">[[+tv.textTV]]</a></p>
</div>

That said, yep, getResources sounds like the way to go tongue

Thank you for the reply, will try it first thing in the morning.

As I can see, I need to manual add for each page its ID. Is there a way to loop through those pages to get all the IDs ?

The example above assumes all your resources are under one parent (22), if that's the case you don't need to specify the resources, just the parent.

And what do you mean be parent(ID) ?

All of those sites have the same tamplate. Is the template here the parent ?

So in this situation would be:

template_ID=7
template_name=all_groups_template

[[!getResources? &parents=`7` &tpl=`all_groups_template`]]

?

Nothing to do with the template it's the parent in the file tree, for example:

About us (2)
----Meet the team (3)
----Contact Us (4)
----Our Location (5)

In the above the parent would be 2 and get resources would take the content from everything under About Us

I tried both of your answers but with no luck. What I did:

Created a file tree:

Sports(7)
----Football(10)
----Basketball(11)
----Handball(12)

And all of those three documents (football,basketball,handball) have the same TV (imageTV) which I used to add one image to every document.

Created two chunks:

1. chunk -> "boxes"

<div>
<a href="index.php?id=[[+id]]"><img src="[[+imageTV]]"></a> <!-- I tried also [[+tv.imageTV]] -->
</div>

2. chunk -> "all_boxes"

[[!getResources? &parents=`7` &tpl=`boxes`]] <!-- I tried also [[getResources? &parents=`7` &tpl=`boxes`]] -->

And created a template:

3. template "box_tpl"

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div>
[[$all_boxes]]
</div>
</body>
</html>

And add that template to document "sport_list".

And this is the result:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<a href="index.php?id=14"><img src=""></a>
</div>
<div>
<a href="index.php?id=13"><img src=""></a>
</div>
<div>
<a href="index.php?id=5"><img src=""></a>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

What am I doing wrong ? I can fetch all of the IDs , but no image paths.

Thank you

I solved is using :

1. chunk "boxes"

<div>
<a href="index.php?id=[[+id]]"><img src="[[+tv.imageTV]]" /></a>
</div>

2. chunk "all_boxes"

[[getResources? &parents=`7` &tpl=`boxes` &includeTVs=`1`]]

The &includeTVs=`1` tells we include all the TVs from the chunk.

Is this a valid approach? [ed. note: vucko2405 last edited this post 13 years, 7 months ago.]
