What am I doing wrong?

Hi folks. For some reason [[!getImageList]] is not outputting as I would like. I want the MIGX TV of a child resource to output some data but I can't get it to do so. When testing I can get the parent to output no problem but this is not something I want.

Some background Info

I have parent categories, each with child resources

Cat A
A1
A2

Cat B
B1
B2

What I Want

I want MIGX to output some product specs for A1- B2 (not the parent) but I get nothing. If I mess around and enable the MIGX TV on the parent, Cat A - Cat B, then it works for these (again, not something I want) but still not the children.

What Code I'm Using

In the Template I'm using getResources to call a tpl called products_invidual_tpl

[[getResources? &parents=`[[*id:isnot=`100`:then=`[[*id]]`:else=`92`]]` &depth=`2` &limit=`false` &tpl=`products_invidual_tpl` &sortby=`{"menuindex":"ASC"}` &includeTVs=`1` &hideContainers=`1` &includeContent=`1` &showHidden=`1`]]

In products_invidual_tpl chunk I'm calling another tpl chunk called specs and a TV called productSpec

<ul>
[[!getImageList? &tvname=`productSpec` &tpl=`specs` ]]
</ul>

And the code for specs is simply:

<li>
<p><span>[[+title]]:</span> [[+description]]</p>
</li>

My input options for the productSpec TV is as follows:

Input type:migx

Form Tabs:
[
{"caption":"Info", "fields": [
    {"field":"title","caption":"Title"},
    {"field":"description","caption":"Description","inputTV":"richtextTV"}
]}
]

Grid Columns:
[
    {
        "header": "Title",
        "width": "80",
        "sortable": "true",
        "dataIndex": "title"
    },
    {
        "header": "Description",
        "width": "80",
        "sortable": "true",
        "dataIndex": "description"
    }
]

Final thoughts

I'm at a loss.

Help!

In your getResources tpl, when you call getImageList, you need to also specify the docid http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGX.Frontend-Usage#MIGX.Frontend-Usage-UsingMIGXwithgetResources
