    Hi,
    I have a Multi Listbox TV which looks like this:

    TV [[*animals]]
    Panda==sweet-panda||Elephant==big-elephant||Duck==yellow-duck


    and I would like to create chunks from the TV output like this:

    [[$sweet-panda]]
    [[$big-elephant]]
    [[$yellow-duck]]


    Something like the following (which works), but with good code:

    Snippet-Call
    [[!getAnimalChunks? &tv=`[[*animals]]`]]

    Snippet
    <?php
$array = explode(',', $tv);
foreach($array as $var)
{
    echo "[[$".$var."]]";
}

    This question has been answered by Bruno17. See the first response.

      why not

      Panda==[[$sweet-panda]]||Elephant==[[$big-elephant]]||Duck==[[$yellow-duck]]


      or use a MIGX-TV to manage them

        Because Lingua has a Problem with:

        Panda==[[$sweet-panda]]||Elephant==[[$big-elephant]]||Duck==[[$yellow-duck]]


        MIGX was one of my first thoughts - but I don't have it installed on that site and would only need it for that purpose.

          does it work this way?

          <?php

$chunks = explode(',', $modx->getOption('tv', $scriptProperties, ''));

$output = array();
foreach ($chunks as $chunk) {
    $output[] = $modx->getChunk($chunk);
}

return implode('', $output);
