Hello,

I am trying to make section of the site I’m currently working on to show the program of the local cinema. Each film is scheduled on 3 or 4 dates/times (Is my explanation clear? huh

)

So, here is my idea:
I made container page "Films" with child pages for each film (with few TVs about film - actors, description etc) and I made another container page "Program" with pages where dates and times are listed - for each film there is few "program pages".
On main "cinema" page I would like to list all films from "Film" container (using ditto), and on side bar I would like to put calendar (DittoCal?) which has links to "program pages" for each day. How to include TVs from related "film pages" on "program pages" and maybe dates/times (from "program pages") on "film pages" for each film? Am I clear at all huh

?

Is it possible using getTemplateVarOutput huh

and how?
I searched forum and find interesting topic http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php?topic=26866.0 but it doesn’t work for me.

Could anyone help me or point me in right direction where to start?

Thank you very much,
Lina

        $page_id = $modx->documentObject['id']; // this will get the id of the current page.
	$children = $modx->getDocumentChildren($page_id,1,0,"*",""); //will get the children of the page passed with $page_id
	
	
	foreach($children as $key => $value){ // will cycle through the children 
		$child_tv = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput('*',$value['id'],"1");  // array with TV's.
        }

hope that helps.

You can also use GetField

Example :

[tt][!GetField? &docid=`12` &field=`mytv`!][/tt]

Of course you can use dynamic ID for docid, but you could also use the &parent, &parentLevel, &topid parameters (check the snippet doc).

If you’re into PHx, you can also use PHx custom modifier docfield (see http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/PHx/CustomModifiers) :

[tt][+docid:docfield=`field`+][/tt]
