What I want to do is get getResources to display the second or third document but not the first of a parent.
I can't specify the doc id 'cos the docs change regularly.
It's basically a sort of latest news, you may also like setup, but I am specifying where each doc appears.
See here for example

This example uses different parents and works to a point.
However, as I said, I know want to set the document level from which it starts.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Could you hide from menus the resources you don't want to display? Then, when and if you did want them to display, just use &ignoreHidden with the Wayfinder call.

There is a property "offset" which allows to skip several documents before the ones you want to be displayed.

What am I talking about? Why did I say Wayfinder?
I am using get resources, sorry my mistake.
The code I have so far is
[[!getResourcesTag? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &tpl=`largebox` &parents=`9` &depth=`1` &limit=`1` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` and &processTVs=`1` ]]
I'll investigate the offset function.
Thanks ottogal.

Hmmm,
not sure if I understand how the offset function is supposed to be implemented.
I tried this with no result.
[[!getResourcesTag? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &tpl=`largebox` &parents=`9` &depth=`1` &limit=`3` &offset=`3` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` and &processTVs=`1` ]]
Any ideas?

Offset works on the returned set. If you have limit=`3` and offset=`3`, you're only returning three items, if it skips the first three I would expect you to get nothing displayed.
Hmmm... looking at the code, that's all wrong. It should be fetching the fourth, fifth and sixth item from the database, according to this...
if (!empty($limit)) $criteria->limit($limit, $offset);
if (!empty($debug)) {
$criteria->prepare();
$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, $criteria->toSQL());
}
$collection = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $criteria, $dbCacheFlag);

Doesn't matter what number I put in the offset, it makes no difference.
I've tried different numbers in both the offset and limit, and other than increasing the number or items displayed, it has no effect. It's almost as if offset isn't working or being read.
I was under the impression all I had to do was add offset to the getResources call. IS there another step required to make it work?

OK,
removing the "and" doesn't make any difference.
Here's the call as it is:
[[!getResourcesTag? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &tpl=`largebox` &parents=`3` &depth=`1` &limit=`1` &offset=`3` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` ]]
It just shows the 1st item.
