using getresources to create latest article block with images and summary

Hi all ,

At the moment I use a very simple snippet-call to get getresources to list the 5 latest created resources, eg


I would like to get more use out of the power of ModX and getresources, and I would like to show for each latest created resource an image and summary/short paragraph of text. Is this possible and, if yes, how do I achieve that?

You need to have an image link, usually as an image-type TV, for each resource to be listed, and either truncate the content (using the 'limit' output modifier with the [[+content]] placeholder in the tpl) , or put your summary in the "Summary" (introtext) field.

Thank you

I am going to experiment!

That's what MODX is all about
