Answered [resolved] getResources tvFilters not working when value set with placeholder

Hi,

I have a getPage/getResources call that has the tvFilters parameter set. The call works when the value for tvFilters is hard coded but there is no output when I set the tvFilters value with a placeholder (nor any entry in the Error Log).

The placeholder is set with a simple snippet:
```
[[!querystring]]
```
The querystring snippet source is:
```
<?php
$modx->setPlaceholders($_REQUEST,'GET.');
```
If I include the [[+GET.manufacturer]] placeholder before the getResources call it outputs whatever I set value of manufacturer to in the querysting. If I change the value in the querystring it updates so it doesn't look like a caching issue.

The getResources call is:
```
[[getPage?
            &elementClass=`modSnippet`
            &element=`getResources`
            
            &parents=`[[*id]]`
            &depth=`0`
            &limit=`8`
            &pageVarKey=`page`
            
            &sortby=`{"menuindex":"ASC"}`
            &showHidden=`0`
            
            &includeTVs=`1`
            &includeTVList=`image`
            &includeContent=`0`
               
            &tvFilters=`manufacturer==[[+GET.manufacturer]]`
               
            &tpl=`categories-list-tpl`
        ]]
```
If I hard code the tvFilters value the call works:
```
&tvFilters=`manufacturer==rcm`
```
The manufacturer TV type is Listbox (single select) but I don't think this is relevant as hard coding the tvFilters value works.

Can anyone suggest why setting the value of tvFilters with the [[+GET.manufacturer]] placeholder fails?

Thanks

I went back to this for a minute and it is a cache issue after all, that and my own stupidity. getPage should be called uncached. [ed. note: chris.dempsey78 last edited this post 12 years, 10 months ago.]
