Simple snippet (output filter) for MODX Revolution related items. Call as [[snippetname? &tpl=`chunkname` &input=`[[*your-comma-delimited-id-tv]]`]]
<?php
if ($input == null) { return 'No relevant items found.'; }
$tpl = $modx->getOption('tpl',$scriptProperties,null);
if (($tpl === null) || (!$modx->getChunk($tpl))) { return 'No template found'; }
$ids = explode (',', $input);
foreach ($ids as $a => $key) {
$document = $modx->getObject('modResource', array(
'published' => 1,
'id' => $key));
if ($document) {
$output[] = $modx->getChunk($tpl,$document->toArray());
}
}
return implode(', ',$output);

Hi Mark,

Hope its ok to comment here.

Don't seem to be getting any output from what I have so far, which is:

@select pagetitle,id FROM modx_site_content WHERE parent BETWEEN '55' AND '58'

Thats in the TV (called relatedPages), Input Option Values box.

Snippet listMyResources is as above.

Call is: [[listMyResources? &input=relatedPages &tpl=relatedPagesTpl]]

relatedPagesTpl is :

[[+pagetitle]]

That doesn't output anything, so I'm not sure where I might be going wrong :o(

Oops, looks like some of the code got stripped out! I have used backticks on my snippet call, and the chunk is just a simple hyperlink, linking to the [[~[[*id]]]]

Did you select any items in your TV?

What do you get if you just output [[*relatedPages]] in your template or content?

Yep, have 4 items selected in the listbox.

When I just call the TV, I get a comma-delimited list of the ids I've chosen.

Hi Mark,

I've had a little look at this again this morning.

It seems that part of the snippet is working. When I remove &input, I get the 'No relevant items found' messgae, and when I remove &tpl, I get the 'No template found message.

It just won't display anything when I do include both the input and the template. I've tried altering the template to just display the id, or the pagetitle, but with no luck.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

I suspect you mistyped the chunk name.. It worked fine for me.

Updated the gist above with some better error reporting for chunks.
