Dropdown of all Child recources

AlexG Reply #1, 11 years, 10 months ago

Hey there,
I have a small problem here (like most people here).
Is it possible to create a dropdown of all current child recources in a migx tv?

Example:
Parent

Child Nr.1
Child Nr.2
Child Nr.3

Should display all 3 children upon editing the tv in Parent.

Also: Is there a list of all useable non custom inputTVtypes?

Help would be much appreciated

you can try this snippet. Name it 'getChildrenOptions'

<?php

$id = $modx->getOption('resource_id', $_REQUEST, '');
$output = array();

if (!empty($id)) {
    //if not a new resource
    if ($collection = $modx->getCollection('modResource', array('parent' => $id))) {
        foreach ($collection as $object) {
            $output[] = $object->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $object->get('id');
        }
    }

}

return implode('||', $output);

and put in input option values:

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('getChildrenOptions');

Awesome! This already helped me a lot! Thanks! laugh

It just seems to display all parent resources instead of the children of one parent, any idea what could be wrong?

To help further understanding:

How the tree looks:

Parent 1

Parent 2 (where TV has to be set)
- Child 1
- Child 2
- Child 3

Parent 3

What I see in the dropdown:

Parent 1

Parent 2

Parent 3

What I expected to see in the dropdown:

Child 1

Child 2

Child 3

Another small request here: Is it possible to replace the resource ID in the table with the pagetitle?

there are sevaral discussions/posts which handles about that request.

you can use the renderChunk - renderer for a new column (give it another, unused name than your resourceIdField), but then I would use the MIGX - configurator to create the configuration for that TV.
If you have fastField or pdoTools installed you can use fastField - tags in the renderChunk - tpl, otherwise you could use a little snippet, which gets the pagetitle from id like:

$output = '';
if ($object = $modx->getObject('modResource',$id)){
    $output = $object->get('pagetitle');
}
return $output;

and call it inside the renderChunk-tpl:

[[getPagetitle? &id=`[[+yourResourceIdField]]`]]

I'll try using your snippet for now

"+yourResourceIdField" is the field/dataIndex I suppose?

If so calling it with:
"renderer": "renderChunk-tpl"
doesn't work

create a MIGX - configuration in the MIGX - CMP

give it a name, for example 'mymigxconfig1'

create the formtabs and the columns
In the columns - creator, you can choose the renderer: this.renderChunk and put the code for the renderChunk - tpl into the textarea there.

Then for you MIGX-TV let the input-options for formtabs and columns empty, but fill the field 'configs' with the name of your created configuration 'mymigxconfig1'
