should a url mysite,com/index.php?40 still work?

I am trying to work out a snippet, and it sends a url to the browser .
www.pianoquartet.nl/index.php?40 it keeps taking me to the site start and not to the page I want it to go.
I tried without FURL turned on, no change. I keep scratching my head, any reason for this?

Try adding the id parameter:


If you are creating a link with a snippet you may want to try the makeUrl() api function:
http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/API:makeUrl

You should definitely use the API function $modx->makeURL() in snippets or TVs using @EVAL, (and otherwise the [~xx~] tags) and let MODx work out how to create the URL. What happens if you have index.php?id=xxx scattered all over your site, then it is decided to use Friendly URLs? Good luck changing them all!


$id is the document ID of the page to link to - required.

$alias is the document’s alias - optional - if you want to skip this one and specify any of the others, you must use an empty string ( ’’ ) as its placeholder.

$args - optional - is for any query string arguments you want such as ’action=delete&user=user-to-delete’ (MODx will append the proper starting delimiter, ? or &, depending on whether you’re using friendly URLs or not). Again, if you want to use the last one, you need to use an empty string ( ’’ ) to hold its place.

$scheme - optional - is to specify HTTP or HTTPS.

I am trying to use a query string to let the user either view details of a table entrie, modify the table, or delete that entrie. I am doing that with this bit of code

It is just the "modify details" link but it takes me to the site start. It used to work with this bit of code but was very unpractical.



When hitting the link, on the bottom of the browser the the URL constructed there look identical. Still from the first bit of code I am taken to the site start the latter takes me to the page containing the call to the modify script. The scripts are external scripts. I am not, yet, able to create these codes as snippets.
