pdoResources and tvFilters

sottwell — Jul 12, 2014, 07:01 AM

I don't seem to be able to get pdoResources to work with tvFilters. ShowLog just says 0 records were returned.

[[!pdoResources? 
    &parents=`1`
    &limit=`1`
    &tpl=`popularTripsTpl` 
    &tvFilters=`featured==1`
    &includeTVs=`tripthumb,mml_pagetitle,mml_introtext,featured,count-trips` 
    &prepareTVs=`1`
    &loadModels=`migxmultilang`
    &prepareSnippet = `mmlTranslatePdoToolsRow`
    &showLog=`1`
]]

A very similar listing using a TV to orderby works fine:

[[!pdoResources? 
    &parents=`1`
    &limit=`3`
    &tpl=`popularTripsTpl` 
    &sortby=`count-trips`
    &sortdir=`DESC`
    &includeTVs=`tripthumb,mml_pagetitle,mml_introtext,count-trips` 
    &prepareTVs=`1`
    &loadModels=`migxmultilang`
    &prepareSnippet = `mmlTranslatePdoToolsRow`
]]

The log output:

Thanks for posting that. I assume that you meant this since both the opening and closing tags in your code would be ignored by the MODX parser:

[[pdoResources?
    &parents=`0`
    &includeTVs=`homepageFeatureCheckbox` 
    &where=`{"homepageFeatureCheckbox.value":"true"}` 
    &prepareTVs=`1`
    &tpl=`tl.pr.news-feature`
    &limit=`4`
    &sortby=`{"publishedon":"DESC"}`
    &includeContent=`1`
]]

I would just like to add my code to this discussion, even though it is old, as it took me a little while to get it working and it may help someone else... largely based on what sottwell had already written.

[
[pdoResources?
	&parents=`0`
	&includeTVs=`homepageFeatureCheckbox` 
	&where=`{"homepageFeatureCheckbox.value":"true"}` 
	&prepareTVs=`1`
	&tpl=`tl.pr.news-feature`
	&limit=`4`
	&sortby=`{"publishedon":"DESC"}`
	&includeContent=`1`
]

My TV is a simple checkbox within a News post, which is set that if it's checked it will return true. This will then pull up to 4 articles which are selected as true, and provide a Featured News section, for, in my case, the homepage.

Unfortunately, in the end I had to switch back to getResources because pdoResources simply doesn't support things like default values, or all the comparison operators. I've reported the issue on github and the developer has acknowledged.

I know this is an old topic, but it's still quite relevant (to me at least), and I have some new insight given the changes to getResources that are described here for v1.4.2: https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/getresources#getResources-SelectionProperties

It seems the "==" operator doesn't cast the input type. For the numerical value of the checkbox I was trying to set to 1 or 0 (zero) I had to use the === operator to get the type cast to numerical. Then it worked, and I imagine Sotwell's original problem would be solved.

I have a new, related problem: it seems pdoResources might not know about all the new operators, and it doesn't appear to honour default values. So if you have a single checkbox and it's supposed to represent 0 when unchecked and 1 when checked, the default that is presumably null won't be detectable as 0, and you can't then use the other operators (<=> "null safe equals"?) to find the ones that are supposed to be 0 (zero).

I'm still testing this issue, in an attempt to make this work without needing to go back to getResources.

Ok after a bit more digging around this is what worked - thank you Bruno.

[[!pdoResources? &parents=`20,10` &depth=`0`  &limit=`1` &tpl=`dateTpl` &includeTVs=`eventDate` &processTVs=`1` &where=`{"eventDate:>":"[[!currentDate:date=`%Y-%m-%d`]]"}` &sortby=`eventDate` &sortdir=`ASC`]]

I added the snippet uncached - initially that didn't work because I have another call doing much the same which was cached, both have to be uncached in order to work.

The call for the tv simply needed to the name of the tv, in my case eventDate and then it worked! Many thanks for your input.

Bruno17 — Oct 29, 2014, 02:09 PM

If this is a normal date-TV it should be stored in that format in the db:

%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00

so, IMO, it should work, also TV-filters should do it.

and in any case your snippet should be called uncached

[[!currentDate:date=`%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00`]]

also pdoResources should be called uncached in that case.

but I think, that isn't the issue here.

Unfortunately neither suggestions worked - I tried putting date back to unix timestamp and comparing then tried Bruno's suggestion.

No joy.

EDIT: Actually when I check again my dateTpl doesn't output a unix timestamp so I'll check this properly. My snippet does though

Re: pdoResources and tvFilters

Bruno17 — Oct 29, 2014, 12:30 PM

try

&where=`{"TVeventDate.value:>":"[[currentDate:date=`%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00`]]"}`

Re: pdoResources and tvFilters

sottwell — Oct 29, 2014, 12:21 PM

As far as I know, you can't compare dates like that - TVeventDate>=29/10/2014 doesn't work. You need to convert the date strings to timestamps, and compare the timestamps.
