Here's what's in the "listing" chunk

<div class="grid-item">

  <div class="grid-thumb">

     <img src="[[+tv.thumbnail]]" width="170" height="110" />
   </div>

   <h6 class="filmtitle">[[+pagetitle]]</h6>

   <div class="filmdetail">
   [[+tv.filmdetails]]


   </div>

  <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">Read more »</a>

</div>
<!-- grid item ---------------------------------------------------->

I've just inserted the 2 extra parameters into that getResources snippet see below.

 &includeTVs=`1`
 &processTVs=`1`
 &includeTVList=`thumbnail, filmdetails`
 &processTVList=`thumbnail, filmdetails`
 &tvFilters=`date==20 June 2013`

But now the the filmdetails TV is not showing on the page. I've discovered that it's not recognizing my comma-delimited list. It only ever shows the first TV.

What's going wrong with the list, it's formatted right!? [ed. note: pauloneill79 last edited this post 13 years, 4 months ago.]

Are you using pagination? If not that right there is your issue you are setting the minimum limit of resources to return to 900 and you are also processing TV's which also slows GR down some more.

So try using pagination as outlined here in the Using getPage for Pagination and set your limit to something like 20 and I'm sure it will solve your issues.

Good Luck.

@benmarte, I'm going to use getPage on the "view all" page as that's particularly slow. The other pages have only on average 10-15 resources so they don't need pagination.

There shouldnt be a space

 &includeTVs=`1`
 &processTVs=`1`
 &includeTVList=`thumbnail,filmdetails`
 &processTVList=`thumbnail,filmdetails`
 &tvFilters=`date==20 June 2013`

How do you set the thumbnail?
Sometimes, image generation takes the time.
Especially if the original one is more than 3MB.
To see the difference, try to use Executioner snippet, and wrap the getPage/getResources snippet with and without thumbnail.

If it does, use phpThumbOf or phpThumbsUp to shrink the size of the images. [ed. note: goldsky last edited this post 13 years, 4 months ago.]

phpThumbOf would be the clever way to do it but unfortunately my solution is a bit retro.. the client has a designer with a copy of Photoshop who resizes the images
