Tolinks issue on main page

Hi BobRay and thanks for your continued support on this. Here is my chunk code containing the call:

<div id="post-[[+id]]" class="post-[[+id]] post hentry category-latest-news tag-tag3 tag-tag5 tag-tag7">
<div class="post-top">
<div class="post-date"><span class="day">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d`]]</span> <span class="month">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b`]]</span> <span class="year">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%Y`]]</span></div>

<h4><a title="Permanent Link to [[+pagetitle]]" href="[[~[[+id]]]]" rel="bookmark">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h4>
</div>
<div class="entry"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><img class="alignleft" title="[[+tv.news_image_title]]" src="[[+tv.news_image]]" alt="" width="610" height="380" /></a> [[+content:ellipsis=`350`]] <a class="more-link" href="[[~[[+id]]]]">Read the rest of this entry »</a></div>
<div class="postmetadata">Tags: [[!MyTags? &tags=`[[*tags]]` &target=`19`]]</div>
</div>

I have then create a snippet called MyTags as follows:

<?php
/* MyTags snippet */
 
$tags = $modx->getOption('tags', $scriptProperties, '', true);
$target = $modx->getOption('target', $scriptProperties, '0', true);
if (empty($tags)) {
    return '';
}
 
$fields = array(
    'tags' => $tags,
    'tagKey' => 'tags',
    'target' => $target,
);
 
return $modx->runSnippet('tolinks', $fields);

I have ammended the last line from toLinks, to tolinks. The tolinks snippet is the one from the repository. When I view my source code I get the following:

<div class="postmetadata">Tags: </div>
</div>

The current page (blog) has an empty 'tags' TV as I am trying to display the tags from the 'resources' that are pulled in by my getResources call

Aha,

Try changing it to this:

[[+tv.tags]]

As I said earlier, using * will always get the value from the current page, not the one being processed by the aggregator snippet.

Ok I replaced my original code with:

<div id="post-[[+id]]" class="post-[[+id]] post hentry category-latest-news tag-tag3 tag-tag5 tag-tag7">
<div class="post-top">
<div class="post-date"><span class="day">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d`]]</span> <span class="month">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b`]]</span> <span class="year">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%Y`]]</span></div>
 
<h4><a title="Permanent Link to [[+pagetitle]]" href="[[~[[+id]]]]" rel="bookmark">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h4>
</div>
<div class="entry"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><img class="alignleft" title="[[+tv.news_image_title]]" src="[[+tv.news_image]]" alt="" width="610" height="380" /></a> [[+content:ellipsis=`350`]] <a class="more-link" href="[[~[[+id]]]]">Read the rest of this entry »</a></div>
<div class="postmetadata">Tags: [[!MyTags? &tags=`[[+tv.tags]]` &target=`19`]]</div>
</div>

Still no luck unfortunately. Maybe as you said before it is too many things nested within each other for a simple solution.

What are you using to get the aggregated resources? getResources?

Post the tag you're using for that snippet.

also, try just using this (if the TV is named 'tags').

[[+tags]]

I amended the call to this

<div class="postmetadata">Tags: [[+tv.tags]]</div>
</div>

and it shows the tags, but they are not linked. If I remove the 'tv.' I get nothing back. This is my aggregated call:

[[!getPage@newsPaging? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &showHidden=`1` &tpl=`newsTpl` &limit=`2` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &parents=`[[*id]]` &hideContainers=`1` &pageLimit=`5` &pageNavVar=`page.nav` ]]

I really don't see why it wouldn't work with this version:

<div class="postmetadata">Tags: [[!MyTags? &tags=`[[+tv.tags]]` &target=`19`]]</div>

But, as you say, it's pretty deeply nested. You have a snippet call (toLinks) inside a snippet call (MyTags) inside chunk used in a snippet call (getResources) inside a snippet call (getPage) inside a template. If the getPage call is also in a chunk, it's even deeper.

I can think of another way to do it, but it's more complicated and might not work any better.

<div class="postmetadata">Tags: [[!MyTags? &tags=`[[+id]]` &target=`19`]]</div>

<?php
/* MyTags snippet */

$tvId = 12; // Change this to the ID of your tags TV

$docId = $modx->getOption('id', $scriptProperties, '', true);
$target = $modx->getOption('target', $scriptProperties, '0', true);
if (empty($docId)) {
    return 'No doc Id';
}

$tvObj = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar', $tvId);
if ($tvObj) {
    return 'No Such TV';
}
$tags = $tvObj->renderOutput($docId);

$fields = array(
    'tags' => $tags,
    'tagKey' => 'tags',
    'target' => $target,
);

return $modx->runSnippet('tolinks', $fields);
