getUrlParam nested inside getResources with IF statement - is this possible?

I have nested getUrlParam inside getResources, so I can filter my results based on URL.

There is an IF statement...if somebody is on the homepage, the results show as normal. If there is a url parameter it will filter the results accordingly.

Can anybody see where i'm going wrong?

I have forced getResources to output an array of attributes. If I put the IF statement back into the snippet call, the array disappears, which makes things hard to trouble shoot!

[[!getResources? 
  &sortby=`` 
  &parents=`[[UltimateParent?]]` 
  &includeTVs=`1` 
  &processTVs=`1` 
  &tvPrefix=`` 
  &tpl=`tpl.gr.section.news.box`
  [[!If?
    &subject=`[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]`
    &operator=`notempty`
    &then=`&tvFilters=`tv.content.news.cat==[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]``
    &else=``
  ]]
  &debug=`1`
]]

I've tried this logic to. Tested the IF statement outside of the snippet call to make sure it was working..

[[!getResources? 
  &sortby=`` 
  &parents=`[[UltimateParent?]]` 
  &includeTVs=`1` 
  &processTVs=`1` 
  &tvPrefix=`` 
  &tpl=`tpl.gr.section.news.boxa`
  [[!If?
    &subject=`[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]`
    &operator=`isempty`
    &then=``
    &else=`&tvFilters=`tv.content.news.cat==[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]``
  ]]
  &debug=`1`
]]

I've managed to find a work around:

[[!getResources:if=`[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]`:notempty=`

[[!getResources? 
  &sortby=`` 
  &parents=`[[UltimateParent?]]` 
  &includeTVs=`1` 
  &processTVs=`1` 
  &tvPrefix=`` 
  &tpl=`tpl.gr.section.news.box`
  &tvFilters=`tv.content.news.cat==[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]`
]]

`
]]

[[!getResources:if=`[[!getUrlParam? &name=`category` &int=`0`]]`:isempty=`

[[!getResources? 
  &sortby=`` 
  &parents=`[[UltimateParent?]]` 
  &includeTVs=`1` 
  &processTVs=`1` 
  &tvPrefix=`` 
  &tpl=`tpl.gr.section.news.box`
]]

Would this code effect performance?

Would this code effect performance?

yes, this would run every snippet-call on this construct, everytime the page is loaded.

Thanks for confirming Bruno. There are flaws in my last example anyway sad

back to the drawing board.

I think I would just put all of that logic into a snippet. I think this would be it:

<?php
$category = isset($_GET['category']) && (!empty($_GET['category']))
        ? $_GET['category']
        : '';

$fields = array(
    'includeTVs' => true,
    'processTVs' => true,
    'tvPrefix'   => '',
    'tpl'        => 'tpl.gr.section.news.box',
);

$fields['parent'] = $modx->runSnippet('UltimateParent');
if ($category) {
    $fields['tvFilters'] = 'tv.content.news.cat==' . $category;
}

return $modx->runSnippet(getResources, $fields);

I think, it should be

return $modx->runSnippet('getResources',$fields);
