Что нового?...

Прошёл очередной год моей жизни, задаюсь вопросом - что изменилось за этот год? Пришёл определённый опыт, пришёл вместе с болью утрат, из моей жизни один за другим уходят люди, которые мне были дороги. Немногие остались, и только мысли о них согревают сердце, покрывшееся инеем от холода и запекшейся кровью от ран, нанесенных вчерашними "близкими". Ищу спасения в работе, иногда получается). Остаётся горечь памяти, с которой мне жить до конца жизни, впрочем, жизнь идёт своим чередом, и каждый новый день наполняет жизнь чем-то новым, неведомым, иногда пугающим, как тёмная комната для ребёнка. Когда я уже повзрослею?...).

Хреново...

Очередные посиделки)... Вижу, что ребята пытаются как-то развеселить, но на душе по-прежнему кошки скребут... И неловко от того, что ребята стараются... И ни фига... Ухожу в работу, ухожу с головой. Хочу забыть весь негатив, но эта сволочь, как заноза в мозгу, вытащить можно только плоскогубцами. Ничего, вытравлю, каленым железом иронии и разума. Лишь бы не было поздно, впрочем, "не стоит задаваться слишком большими планами, мой дорогой сосед!"... Смирение не принесло утешения, но дало душевный покой, хотя бы отчасти...

Переход на MODx Revo

В связи с возросшим количеством страниц на сайте (<16 000)  возникла необходимость смены платформы, однако уходить с MODx совсем не хотелось (слишком мощная и удобная система). В связи с этим нашлась альтернатива, а именно MODx Revolution. Админка впечатлила навороченным Ajax-нтерфейсом, обратной стороной которого явилось усложнение изначально интуитивно понятного интерфейса. В то же время, внутренняя система установки расширений из репозитория MODx очень порадовала. Основным же критерием в пользу Revo стала переработанная система кэширования страниц. Однако возникли определенного рода проблемы, в частности, отличия синтаксиса внутренних тэгов MODx:

Content Elements	Evolution (Old)	Revolution (New)
Templates	no tag representation	no tag representation
Template Variables	[*templatevar*]	[[*templatevar]]
Chunks	{{chunk }}	[[$chunk]]
Snippets	[[snippet]]	[[snippet]]
Plugins	no tag representation	no tag representation
Modules	no tag representation	does not exist in Revolution
Content Tags
Placeholders	[+placeholder+]	[[+placeholder]]
Links	[~link~]	[[~link]]
System Settings	[(system_setting)]	[[++system_setting]]
Language	no tag representation	[[%language_string_key]]

Итак, перввым препятствием стало полное отсутствие знакомого до дрожи в коленках Ditto. В качестве замены ему решил использовать снипет getResources. Вызов оного осуществляется так:

[[getResources? &param1=`value1`,&param2=`value2`]]

Параметры следующие:

Параметры для шаблонов

Name	Description	Default Value	Added in version
tpl	Name of a chunk serving as a resource template. If not provided, properties are dumped to output for each resource
tplOdd	Name of a chunk serving as resource template for resources with an odd idx value (see idx property)
tplFirst	Name of a chunk serving as resource template for the first resource
tplLast	Name of a chunk serving as resource template for the last resource
tpl_N	Name of a chunk serving as resource template for the Nth resource, for example &tpl_4=`tpl4th`
tpl_nN	Name of a chunk serving as resource template for every Nth resource, for example &tpl_n4=`tpl4th` would apply to any item divisible by 4		1.4.1
tplCondition	Defines a field of the resource to evaluate against keys defined in the &conditionalTpls property. Must be a resource field; does not work with Template Variables.		1.5.0
conditionalTpls	A JSON object defining a map of field values and the associated tpl Chunks to use when the field defined by &tplCondition matches the value: &conditionalTpls=`{"1":"tplA","2":"tplB","3":"tplC"}` [NOTE: tplOdd, tplFirst, tplLast, * and tpl_{n} will take precedence over any defined conditionalTpls]		1.5.0
tplPath	An optional directory to look for file-based chunks when using @FILE	assets_path+ "elements/chunks/"
tplWrapper	Name of a chunk serving as a wrapper template for the output [NOTE: Does not work with toSeparatePlaceholders]. The placeholder where the items are inserted is [[+output]].		1.6.0
wrapIfEmpty	If true, will output the wrapper specified in &tplWrapper even if the output is empty.	false	1.6.0
outputSeparator	An optional string to separate each tpl instance	"\n"
toPlaceholder	If set, will assign the result to this placeholder instead of outputting it directly.
toSeparatePlaceholders	If set, will assign EACH result to a separate placeholder named by this param suffixed with a sequential number (starting from 0).		1.3.0

Параметры для секций (фильтрация вывода)

Name	Description	Default Value	Added in version
parents	Comma-delimited list of ids serving as parents. Use -1 to ignore parents when specifying resourcesto include. If this is not done, getResources assumes &parents as the current resource and reads its children from there (plus the resources given in &resources = unexpected results).	current Resource id
resources	Comma-delimited list of ids to include in the results. Prefix an id with a dash to exclude the resource from the result.
depth	Integer value indicating depth to search for resources from each parent. First level of resources beneath parent is depth	10
tvFilters	Can be used to filter resources by certain TV values. These are entered as [( tvname)( operator)]( value). There are two delimiters you can use to combine filter conditions. You can have "OR" filters using two pipe symbols. An OR filter fetches resources that has one of the listed TV values. ? 1 2 mytv==somevalue||mytv==othervalue You can also use an "and" filter using a comma. This will make sure that all the conditions are met. ? 1 2 mytv==somevalue,othertv==othervalue For advanced filtering you can also group these. It is important to know that conditions are first separated based on the OR (||) delimiter, and after that on the AND (,) delimiter. So let's take this hypothetical example: ? 1 2 mytv==foo||mytv==bar,bartv==3||bartv==1 This will filter resources to meet one of the following conditions: mytv is LIKE foo, or mytv is LIKE bar AND bartv is LIKE 3, or bartv is LIKE 1  The examples above search for exact values. You can also use the percentage sign (%) as a wildcard. For example: ? 1 2 mytv==%a% Matches any resources that has an "a" in the mytv value. ? 1 2 mytv==a% Matches any resources that have a mytv value that starts with an "a" ? 1 2 mytv==%a Matches any resources that have a mytv value that ends with an "a". You can also combine this with the OR (||) and AND (,) delimiters explained above. It is important to know that this function looks at the raw value of a template variablefor a specific resource. This means that the value has been explicitly set for the resource, and that it has not been processed by a template variable output type( or is the default value in releases prior to 1.4.2-pl; this release adds support for filtering that includes default values). So if you have an "autotag" tv, this means the raw value is a comma delimited list, and it is not split up in tags like you see it in the manager. New filter operators available in 1.4.2-pl Starting with release 1.4.2-pl of getResources, there are a number of new comparison operators for use when creating filter conditions. In addition, when using many of these new operators, numeric comparison values are automatically CAST TV values to numeric before comparison. Here is a list of the valid operators: Filter Operator SQL Operator CASTs numerics Notes <=> <=> Yes NULL safe equals === = Yes !== != Yes <> <> Yes == LIKE No != NOT LIKE No << < Yes <= <= Yes =< =< Yes >> > Yes >= >= Yes => => Yes
sortby	Any Resource Field (excluding Template Variables) to sort by. Some common fields to sort on are publishedon, menuindex, pagetitle etc, but see the Resources documentation for all fields. Specify fields with the name only, not using the tag syntax. Note that when using fields like template, publishedby and the likes for sorting, it will be sorted on the raw values, so the template or user ID, and NOT their names. You can also sort randomly by specifying RAND(), like so: ? 1 2 &sortby=`RAND()` From version 1.3.0 this can also be a JSON array to sort on multiple fields, e.g. ? 1 2 &sortby=`{"publishedon":"ASC","createdon":"DESC"}` To sort in a specific order, specify a resource id-list, e.g. ? 1 2 &sortby=`FIELD(modResource.id, 4,7,2,5,1 )` The same thing is possible if you put the sorted IDs in a template variable, like this: ? 1 2 &sortby=`FIELD(modResource.id,[[*templateVariable]])`	createdon
publishedon	Modified in 1.3.0
sortbyAlias	Query alias for sortby field
sortbyEscaped	Escapes the field name specified in sortby
sortdir	Order which to sort by	DESC
sortbyTV	Template Variable to sort by		1.2.0
sortdirTV	Order which to sort by when using sortbyTV	DESC	1.2.0
sortbyTVType	Specify the data type of the sortby TV. Possible values are string, integer, decimal, datetime	string	1.3.0
limit	Limits the number of resources returned. Use `0` for unlimited results.	5
offset	An offset of resources returned by the criteria to skip	0
where	A JSON-style expression of criteria to build any additional where clauses from. See below for an example. Seedisplay/xPDO20/xPDOQuery.where
context	Comma-delimited list of context keys to limit results by; if empty, contexts for all specified parents will be used (all contexts if 0 is specified)
