Snippet calls from within chunks

I don’t fully understand how snippet calls from within chunks are different than regular snippet calls or why they’re even different. I’m trying to reference a template variable in a chunk’s snippet call. The TV is called "navFilename" and here’s what I’m doing:


The one that just gets printed out works fine. In the snippet call, though, the [*navFilename*] part doesn’t work and MODx tries to include assets/somefolder/views/nav/, which obviously doesn’t work.

Is it possible to do something like what I’m trying to do?

Thanks,
Jason

Is this just a normal chunk call or is it part of, say, a Ditto call? I’m not sure why you are using [+navFilename+] and then [*navFilename*] - if [+navFilename+] works, then why not use that in the snippet call?

The [+navFilename+] notation doesn’t work within the context of the snippet call.

Okay, so assuming that [+navFilename+] is being set somewhere as a placeholder, could you adjust the Includer snippet to have an optional &ph option, like:

And then, check for that parameter in the Includer snippet using something like:

I’m not fully understanding if navFilename is a TV or a placeholder, I’m going with placeholder seeing as [+navFilename+] works for you. A bit more info on how you are calling/processing the chunk would be useful if the above doesn’t work.
