    I've got the URL parameter passed from one page to my form page however I'm not able to get the value of my form fields to grab this.

    I've tried creating a snippet at the top of my template to grab the parameter off the URL and place it into a variable ....then just outputting my variable in the form field but no luck.

    Can someone please help me?
    Many thanks.

    What version of MODx?

    Are you having trouble getting the URL in the snippet, or having the form pick up the value?

    Try this. Put this in the form where you want the value:

    [+placeholderName+]


    Then in your snippet at the top of the page:

    $modx->setPlaceholder('placeholderName', $_REQUEST['variableName']);
