A TV used multiple times inside a page

kozhie — Mar 01, 2018, 01:07 PM

Hello,

I'm newbie in modx.

I made a TV called 'titleField' and i want to use it for 3 similar fields in my page, is it possible to use a TV twice or more in a page..?

I've tried but not working, the output in Document Edit page - 'Template Variables' Tab only shows one entry field for TV 'titleField'.

Thanks & Best Regards,

As LK says a TV holds a single value. You can use that value in several places on a page. Some very simple examples could be:

[[*titleField]]

Some text with the tv contained in it: [[*titleField]].

But is you want to display different values on the same page then you would either need a different TV, or as LK suggests, use the excellent MIGX.

Hey,

Welcome to the MODX forums. A TV really holds a single value but there are different TV types you could use to accomplish what you want. For example a MIGX TV would let you setup multiple fields under a single TV which is then stored in JSON and retrieved and decoded on the page using a tpl.
