I want take the alement in another context, i have the id my snippets is this:

$delimiter = $modx->getOption('delimiter', $scriptProperties, ',');
$ids = explode($delimiter,$modx->getOption('ids', $scriptProperties));
$output = '';


foreach ($ids as $key => $value) {
  $resource = $modx->getObject('modResource',array('id' => $value));
	

  if ($resource instanceof modResource) {
    //$output[] = $modx->getChunk($tpl,$resource->toArray());
    $output .= ' '.$resource->get('alias');
  }

I think the problem is not with your code, but with MODX permissions. My guess is that the user who is logged in does not have access to the other context via a context access ACL entry.

If you're viewing the page from the Manager, remember that you're logged in to the Manager, but in the front end, you're the (anonymous) user and are not logged in unless you explicitly log in in the front end. If you use the Login snippet, remember to use the &contexts property so you'll be logged in multiple contexts.

BTW, since ID is the primary key, you don't need an array for getObject():
```
$resource = $modx->getObject('modResource', (int) $value);
```
