MODX Revolution get value of MIGX TV from another resource

I have a resource that gets data from a MIGX TV in the following chunk

<ul id="testimonialsSlider">

        <li>
            <div>
            <i class="fa fa-quote-left"></i><p>[[+text]]</p><i class="fa fa-quote-right"></i>
            </div>

            <p>[[+name]]</p>
            <p>[[+source]]</p>
        </li>

    </ul>

and I want to use that data on yet another resource. How do I get those three TVs? Via getResources?

Solution

  • The Snippet that comes with the MIGX Extra, called "getImageList", accepts a property that tells it which MODX Resource from which to query the MIGX TV. An example of such a snippet call might be:

    [[getImageList?
    &tvname=`myMIGXtv`
    &tpl=`testimonialsSliderItem`
    &docid=`5`
]]

    That would get the content of the TV named myMIGXtv from the MODX Resource with ID of 5, and format the output using the Chunk named testimonialsSliderItem.

    Assuming your MIGX TV is configured with fields that have the keys: text, name, and source, AND the Resource ID 5 has the values you want, in those fields in the MIGX TV named myMIGXtv, AND your example Chunk is named testimonialsSliderItem...then the example above should work verbatim.
