I use a snippet with chunk and TV :

in my chunk, i need a placeholder title and other.

How pass placeholder title or longtitle in my chunk.

$items = $modx->fromJSON($outputvalue);
$chunk = $modx->getObject('modChunk', array ('name'=>$tpl));
$template = $chunk->getContent();
foreach ($items as $item)
        {
            $chunk = $modx->newObject('modChunk');
            $chunk->setCacheable(false);
            $output .= $chunk->process($item, $template);
        }

you want to add additional fields to them which are coming from jsoned $outputvalue?
where are they coming from?
do you have an example for us?

in my chunk i have :

<li>
    <a href="[[+url]]" title="[[+title]] - [[+nom]]">[[+url]]</a>
</li>

[[+url]] and [[+nom]] are values of my tv with multiitemsGrid

and [[+title]], is the title of my resource.

but with the snippet i pass just the tv values not the title of my resource, i don’t know how to do this.

in below my snippet.

<?php
$tvname = $modx->getOption('tvname', $scriptProperties, '');
$tpl = $modx->getOption('tpl', $scriptProperties, '');
$docid = $modx->getOption('docid', $scriptProperties, $modx->resource->get('id'));

if ($tvname == '' || $tpl == 'xx')
{
    return;
}
$tv = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar', array ('name'=>$tvname));
$outputvalue = $tv->renderOutput($docid);
$items = $modx->fromJSON($outputvalue);
$chunk = $modx->getObject('modChunk', array ('name'=>$tpl));
$template = $chunk->getContent();
$output = '';
  if (count($items) > 0) {
switch ($tvname) {
case DatesConcerts:
$output .= '<ul class="DatesConcerts">';
    break;
case Discographie:
$output .= '<ul class="Discographie">';
    break;
case Galerie:
$output .= '<ul class="Galerie">';
    break;
case UrlSiteArtiste:
$output .= '<ul class="SitesArtiste">';
    break;    
}    
        foreach ($items as $item)
        {
            $chunk = $modx->newObject('modChunk');
            $chunk->setCacheable(false);
            $output .= $chunk->process($item, $template);
        }
      $output .="</ul>";
    }
  
  return $output;

I’m still not sure, but you can add the docid to placeholders:

<?php
$tvname = $modx->getOption('tvname', $scriptProperties, '');
$tpl = $modx->getOption('tpl', $scriptProperties, '');
$docid = $modx->getOption('docid', $scriptProperties, $modx->resource->get('id'));

if ($tvname == '' || $tpl == 'xx')
{
    return;
}
$tv = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar', array ('name'=>$tvname));
$outputvalue = $tv->renderOutput($docid);
$items = $modx->fromJSON($outputvalue);
$chunk = $modx->getObject('modChunk', array ('name'=>$tpl));
$template = $chunk->getContent();
$output = '';
  if (count($items) > 0) {
switch ($tvname) {
case DatesConcerts:
$output .= '<ul class="DatesConcerts">';
    break;
case Discographie:
$output .= '<ul class="Discographie">';
    break;
case Galerie:
$output .= '<ul class="Galerie">';
    break;
case UrlSiteArtiste:
$output .= '<ul class="SitesArtiste">';
    break;    
}    
        foreach ($items as $item)
        {
            $item['docid']=$docid;
            $chunk = $modx->newObject('modChunk');
            $chunk->setCacheable(false);
            $output .= $chunk->process($item, $template);
        }
      $output .="</ul>";
    }
  
  return $output;

then you can use the snippet getResourceField for example with:

<li>
    <a href="[[+url]]" title="[[!getResourceField? &id=`[[+docid]]` &field=`pagetitle`]] - [[+nom]]">[[+url]]</a>
</li>

Is it that, what you mean?

Of course, you can also get the resourceFields in your snippet with

$object=$modx->getObject('modResource',array('id'=>$docid));

and put its values the same way I did with $docid to the placeholders.

Are you asking how to fill the placeholders with values? Or what else?

my question is what object (in snippet or in chunk with getressourceField) requires the least resource for the server?

Using the objects in snippets probably uses slightly less resources since it wont have to process the chunk as well.
