[Question] Is it possible to put TV's in a subcategory, or different category?

[hugopeek]

I often create subcategories to divide TV's into multiple tabs under a Resource. This way, the structure is more descriptive for the client, and tabs never contain too many TV's.

Yes you can create more categories and put elements into them. However, all those subcategories will be created under the major category (with a name of the package), to avoid conflicts.

Sorry, it's not documented yet how to do it, but here you have a sample how to do it:

"snippets": [{
    "name": "UrlShortener",
    "category": "Under Under"
}],
"categories": [{
    "name": "Under"                
},{
    "name": "Under Under",
    "parent": "Under"                
}]

Hi @TheBoxer, sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the explanation!

It works for me when using it for Chunks, but doesn't seem to do anything in combination with TV's..

This is my config.json:

(As you can see I also tried to use lexicon strings for TV captions, but that doesn't fly.. I'm wondering if this is possible at all now actually in MODX.. Do you know that?)

[bartholomej]

Confirm. Should be fixed here cf1e708 @hugopeek Fetch and try again, please.

[hugopeek]

Yes, fixed. Thanks :+1:
