Using ResourceList TV to create 'Featured' section

Hi

I am currently trying to create a 'featured artists' section on a site using the ResourceList TV.

I have created the TV and selected the artist I wish to feature, but I cannot call this information using getResource for some reason. This is my getResource call:

[[!getResources?
&parents=`20`
&id=`[[*FeaturedArtist]]`
&tpl=`FeaturedArtistTpl`
]]

The parent container for the artists pages has an ID of 20, and the ResourceList TV is called 'FeaturedArtist'.

The chunk 'FeaturedArtistTpl' currently just has [[*pagetitle]] (which I had hoped would output the band name) but instead of outputting the name of the selected band, it instead shows the page title for the page I am on (currently 'Home'). If I insert [[*FeaturedArtist]] onto the page it outputs the correct ID so I can't work out what is going wrong.

I have tried adding processTVs and includeTVs to no avail.

any ideas?

to get the pagetitle, you have to use the placeholder


is the resourcefield-tag for the pagetitle of the current resource.

to get the filtered resource(s), use the property &resources, like:

Hi Bruno

Thanks for the speedy reply!

I have now managed to output the page title, and the published date (although I do not actually need this, was just testing some stuff out) but I am having difficulty getting anything from TVs that I have created. I have included includeTVs and processTVs in the getResources call on the homepage template but I am getting nothing back.

I have tried using

[[*Artist Image]]
[[*bio]]

and

[[+Artist Image]]
[[+bio]]

(Artist Image and Bio are my two TV names)

Try adding this:



Without it, getResources is looking for TVs named tv.Bio and tv.Artist Image.
