parameters to chunks

Is there a way to pass a parameter to a chunk?

I’d like to do some thing like this
{{MyChunk? &param=`myParameter`}}

and be able to usesomething like [+param+] inside the chunk

I guess the snippet is better for something like this, but I figured for something this simple there might be a way to do that rather then writing an extra snippet

Yes. Download MODx Revo beta and your wish is realized today.

So this feature is not supported in 0.9.6?

How do I pass parameters to a chunk then?

I noticed that one of the chunks {{mh.RowTpl}} has is using variables that are not defined
<li class="category [+wf.classnames+]"><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>[+wf.wrapper+]</li>

is it possible to send a placeholder to the chunk from a non-snippet?

In Evo, there is no way you can do that AFAIK.

ok, well if anyone else needs to do this, this is what I’ve done

[[PassParameter]]
pass a parameter(&pName)(&pVal) to a chunk(&tpl)

<?php
// Set parameter to parse
$params[$pName]=$pVal;

// Carry out chunk &tpl
$documentOutput.=$modx->parseChunk($tpl, $params, ’[+’, ’+]’);

// Output
echo($documentOutput);
?>

usage
[[PassParameter? &pName=`itemID` &pVal=`1` &tpl=`myTemplate`]]
