    Hi,

    can anyone see what I'm not seeing?

    The tpl chunk below calls everything except the tv.teaser info.

    I've even tried it with different tv's and I still get zip.

    Is there something I'm missing here?

    Thanks

    <li>             <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><img src="http://www.armadalebedandbreakfast.com.au/images/roomgallery/master_bedroom_thb.jpg" alt="" class="thumb" ></a>
               
<div class="recent_entry"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" title="[[+pagetitle]]" class="link-name">[[+pagetitle]]</a> </div>


                                               <div class="recent_entry_short">bbb  [[+tv.teaser]] </div>
                        </li>

        Are you calling this Chunk with GetResources?

        if so, make sure your GR call adheres to the section here titled "Displaying Template Variables with getResources"
        http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/getresources

        To reduce retrieval time, getResources does not get TV values by default. If you want to display TVs, you should include the following parameters:

        &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1`

          ...

            Glad it worked Mark.
            I noticed your chunk uses absolute urls for the images. Any reason for this?

              No reason, I normally use relative.

                Cool. I was just curious.

                What I've done in the past where I've had a few pages and each had a thumb was to

                • create a TV for the image
                • call the image using getResources
                • constrain the image size using PHPThumb or similar

                So 
                 <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><img src="http://www.armadalebedandbreakfast.com.au/images/roomgallery/master_bedroom_thb.jpg" alt="" class="thumb" ></a>


                would become

                 <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><img src="/assets/images/[[+tv.room-thumb]]" alt="[[+tv.thumb-title]]" class="thumb" ></a>


                Ignore if thats no use to you but it's worked well for me.
