    I'm trying to use pdoTools for the first time. pdoMenu working fine. Now on to pdoResources. My call is working fine except for TVs not returning. Here's my code:


    Template Variables in question:

    project-type (Listbox-Single, Options: SME & Food Business Consulting/Mentoring==mentoring||Product Development==product-development||Feasibility Study==feasibility-study||Innovation & Funding==innovation-funding||Business Network Facilitation==business-network||Other==other)

    project-image (coming from a media source at assets/uploads/)


    portfolioItemTpl:

    <div class="span3 portfolio_item block [[+tv.project-type]]">
                  <div class="view view-first">
                       <a href=""><img src="[[phpthumbsup? &input=`assets/uploads/[[+tv.project-image]]` &options=`w=270&h=187`]]"></a>
                       <div class="descr">
				<h5><a href="">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h5>
				<p class="clo">[[+longtitle]]</p>
		       </div>
		</div>
            </div>



    Call:

    [[!pdoResources?
    &parents=`[[*id]]`
    &sortby=`RAND()`
    &tpl=`portfolioItemTpl`
    &includeTVs=`product-type,product-image`
    &processTVs=`1`
    ]]




    I tried replacing pdoResources with getResources (also installed) but then it returns nothing at all! At least with pdoResources, I get the chunk, it just doesn't generate the image or the project-type class.

    Any idea where I'm going wrong. And why the getResources version isn't working at all? Thank you!!!

      If it works like getResources it should work like this:

      [[!pdoResources?
      &parents=`[[*id]]`
      &sortby=`RAND()`
      &tpl=`portfolioItemTpl`
      &includeTVs=`1`
      &includeTVlist=`product-type,product-image`
      ]]

      Its either "TVs : yes or no" or "TVlist : this, that and that document"

          With pdoResources, includeTVs takes a comma-separated list of TV names, not just a 1/0 boolean condition. It does not have the tvlist property.

            Well, now I'm embarrassed! After trying out the various suggestions but nothing was either applicable or helped fix it, I asked my darling brother to cast another eye over the whole thing and guess what he spotted?

            [[+tv.project-type]]
            [[+tv.project-image]]

            &includeTVs=`product-type,product-image`

            It would help if I had used the same tv names throughout my code ..... Feeling rather stupid now. Apologies for wasting everybody's time. Eek!
