is there such thing as a chunk ID placeholder? if so how to call it?

Hello,

I know that I assign names to chunks - and that MODx applies numbers to the end of each chunk I create.

Is there such a thing as [+chunk.id+] or the equivalent?

I would like to use that chunk number that MODx applies as an ID in the rel= call of a link.

Eg:
rel="lightbox[[+chunk.id+]]"

That doesn’t seem to work for me though so I am presuming that is not the correct placeholder.

The chunks I am wanting to reference are number 90, 91, 92

What I am wanting in my rel tags is:
rel="lightbox[90]"
rel="lightbox[91]"
etc

[+chunk.name+] or the equivalent would also be ok as they are unique too.

Thanks in advance.

You can easily create your own code. Have a look at the modx_site_tmplvars table.

Something like this might work

$result = $modx->db->query( ’SELECT id FROM `modx_site_tmplvars` WHERE name=`NAME OF YOUR TV`’);

Hello cipa,

Sorry - I am not a coder - and don’t understand what you said.

I am also talking about chunks - not TV’s.

Thanks though.

Anyone else?

Sorry about that

Just replace modx_site_tmplvars with modx_site_htmlsnippets.

BTW do you need you for Ditto, Maxigallery or something else?

thanks cipa - I am using it for autogallery.

I have no idea how to use this or where to put it though:

$result = $modx->db->query( ’SELECT id FROM `modx_site_htmlsnippets` WHERE name=`NAME OF YOUR TV`’);
