How to get Text and not value from the Listbox TV?

I have a tv of listbox type with options like

OptionTXT1==1||OptionTXT2==2||OptionTXT3==3 and so on..

Now if I use [[+tv.tvname]] in a getResources template or just straight [[*tvname]] in a document what I get is the 1,2,3.. values.

Is there a way to get the names instead? Like OptionTXT1, OptionTXT2... ?

I know there is an extra http://modx.com/extras/package/gettvdisplayname that should do it but it doesn't work - when I try to use it somewhere I get 500 Internal Server Error...

Can You suggest an output filter or a snippet that will get the name instead of value???


THANKS

Any reason why your values have to be 1,2,3?

I think you have to use modx API, make a getObject on modTemplateVar, then you can call something like $object->get(). Take a look here http://api.modx.com/revolution/2.1/_model_modx_modtemplatevar.class.html
Maybe could be getDisplayParams() ? Let me know [ed. note: solidusite last edited this post 13 years ago.]

Option1==Option1||Option2==Option2

Unfortunately yes. If I will do it that simple here it will complicate the code elsewhere

Thanks, I will look into it... Never tried to use MODX Api before, but... Maybe it's time

Update. I got getTvDisplayName to work. It was a trailing ? at the end of the snippet, that caused 500 Internal Server Error... however none of the API methods available didn't work, what effectively could get what I wanted from the TV was...



$tvn is the TV passed to the snipped as parameter and get('elements') method is stolen from getTvDisplayName extra.

It renders all TV content in one string + indicates the key that was chosen.

Thanks.
