Resource ID of current page within getResources call

Im trying to get the resource id of the current page but within a getResources call (which calls data from a separate directory)... the reason being im taking the user out of one directory and into another to show shared content and I need the resource id stored so I know where they came from...

So my tree setup is basically this

Event
----Event 1 (id=5)
-------Speaker Listing (using getResoucres call)
----Event 2
-------Speaker Listing (using getResoucres call)
.
.
.
Speakers (id=10)
----Speaker 1
----Speaker 2
----Speaker 3

My getResoucres call....



This is my link out in my SpeakerListTpl



Using the obvious [[+parent]] only gives me the id of the resource where the getresources call is referencing in this case id=10

But im looking for id=5 (i.e the event id)

Any clever way to do this?

Many thanks

Then use [[*parent]]

[[* ]] vars use those from the active Page, instead of those snippets loop through

Thats awesome! I never knew that.... and i thought [[* ]] never worked within snippets!

Now i'm passing the correct id in the url but im having difficulty at the other end

Im using:



This returns the correct value HOWEVER, when I use this call within a link tag i.e:



No value is output?

Any ideas?

I should have mentioned what does get output from the link tag is



so it strips out the

Maybe it`s an caching issue, then you should call the Url generation also uncached.

That did the trick. Many thanks, at one point I was staring into the abyss!
