What is with [[~] in Rev 2.0.0-rc-1 rev6614

Just working Revolution 2.0.0-rc-1 rev6614

loving it! and I stumbled on the id in a chunk thing while using getResources. Except my 9.6.x method of using [[* or [[+ where not working and my fURLs certainly weren’t that. Then I found [[~[[+id]]]] at the bottom of the getResources page. All now works but what is that doing as it looks like a nested tag/placeholder. Just curious to know if that is Rev or getResource specific for future reference?

[[~[[+id]]]] in getResources means generate a URL for the current Resource in the loop. +id is the ID of the resource, and ~ means to make a URL from a Resource ID.

IOW, it’s a placeholder tag [[+placeholder]] nested inside a link tag [[~##]].

getResources sets the placeholder to the id of the resource being retrieved.

In Evolution, it would look like this:

 [~[+id+]~]

Thanks for that never seen that before other then what gets used in 9.6x and Evo. I was almost close with the nested idea, but I’ll also assume it’s a getResources call rather then something specific to Rev and chunks.

You can find the list of all available tags for Revo here: http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Tag+Syntax

FWIW, Revo allows unlimited nesting of tags unlike Evo. This has nothing to do with getResources.

I think the OP is using getResources. If the placeholder isn’t set by getResources or some other snippet, the tag would have to be like this, no?

[[~[[*id]]]

[[~[[*id]]]

I was trying to refer only to the OP’s original question of tag nesting, which is likely one reason why many Snippets in Evolution would create placeholders for the URLs, due to the way Evolution parsing was done. You are correct about the [[+id]] vs. [[*id]] BobRay. Sorry for any confusion.
