MIGX renderChunk to show pagetitle instead of ID

433 Posts

Hi, I'm using renderChunk exactly as described here: http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=80338

But I want to use it to show pagetitles instead of ids.
My renderChunk chunk is called migxPagetitleTpl and it has this code in it:

'[[!#[[+link]].pagetitle]]' (id: [[+link]])

(FastField is installed).

What happens is: everytime I add an item, some of the text gets duplicated. Very strange, see screenshot 1.

I also tried with just this code in migxPagetitleTpl:

[[!#[[+link]].pagetitle]]

When I do this, the pagetitle is only rendered for the last added page. Strange isn't it! See screenshot 2.

What could be going on? Am I doing something wrong?

use another column-name for the column, where you have the renderChunk-renderer

not 'link', but for example 'render_link'

in your columns - setup

Hmm, I changed all the places I used the word 'link' (also in the form tabs etc.) but the same behaviour is still there...

This is the export of the migx config:

{
  "formtabs":[
    {
      "MIGX_id":1,
      "caption":"Footermenu",
      "print_before_tabs":"0",
      "fields":[
        {
          "MIGX_id":1,
          "field":"menutitel",
          "caption":"Menutitel",
          "description":"De menutitel zoals deze in het footermenu moet verschijnen,",
          "description_is_code":"0",
          "inputTV":"",

        },
        {

          "field":"gelinktepagina",
          "caption":"Gelinkte pagina",
          "description":"Naar welke pagina op de website moet dit menu-item linken?",

Am I doing something wrong?

change it only here:

"dataIndex":"gelinktepagina",

don't use one of the field-names for a column, which you are using to render a chunk
and if fastField - doesn't work here, try to use getResourceField

Yes, it's working! Thank you Bruno! I didn't understand you at first, now I do

getResourceField didn't work for me (nothing displayed anymore in the column)
But I used this (fastField):

[[#[[+link]].pagetitle]] (id [[+link]])

Thanks again!

Revo 2.3.1
MIGX 2.8.1

I have a working MIGX grid with a “Link” column that displays the resource ID of the page being linked to, but I would rather show the page title instead, though I'm unable to get the above solution to work.

Here's the original code:

Page call

[[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`Slideshow`
    &tpl=`Slideshow Link`]]

Slideshow Link Chunk

<a href="[[~[[+link]]]]"><img src="[[+image]]" width="800" height="400" alt="[[+alt]]" /></a>

Slideshow TV

Form Tabs

[
        {"caption":"Slideshow Images", "fields": [
        {"field":"image","caption":"Image","inputTVtype":"image"},
        {"field":"alt","caption":"Alt Text","inputTVtype":"text"},
        {"field":"link","caption":"Link","inputTVtype":"resourcelist"}
        ]}
]

Grid Columns

[
        {"header": "Image", "sortable": "false", "dataIndex": "image","renderer":"this.renderImage"},
        {"header": "Alt Text", "sortable": "true", "dataIndex": "alt"},
        {"header": "Link", "sortable": "true", "dataIndex": "link"}
]

use the MIGX - configurator for configuring the formtabs and columns.
Use another dataIndex (field) for the rendered column, for example 'render_link'
Use the this.renderChunk - renderer and put

[[#[[+link]].pagetitle]]

into the renderChunk Tpl - field

Fastfield or pdoTools has to be installed to use fastfield-tags.

empty the formtabs and columns - inputs in your TV's input-options and put the name of the MIGX-configuration into the 'configs' - input

Nice. Thank you, Bruno.

Clearly I have a lot to learn about how MIGX works.

Is "this.renderChunk" not working if defined in the TV input-options?

This should work, too, but you would need to know the json-syntax exactly.
You can get the syntax, by exporting the generated json or by 'edit raw' to get the formtabs and columns as editable json-string
