Passing a value into a chunk

    I have the following code that I want to place into one chunk

    [+phx:if=`[*wc-location*]`:is=`Top`:then=`{{wildcards-4-across}}`+]


    AND

    [+phx:if=`[*wc-location*]`:is=`Bottom`:then=`{{wildcards-4-across}}`+]


    where the only difference between the two is the value being compared to - Top v Bottom.

    I would like to have one chunk that I can call with my location to compare against instead of two chunks specific to location. Is this possible or am I headed down the wrong path and should re-route so to speak. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing, just not sure what I’m looking for.

    Thanks,

    Craig

        Not exactly what I’m looking for.

        looking at using it like this...

        {{myChunk}} <!-- location is Top -->
.
.
. Some more template stuff
.
.
{{myChunk}} <!-- location is Bottom -->


        Top/Bottom are values in a TV where this chunck is expected to be for this page. {{myChunk}} will need to be aware where on the page it is located (Top or Bottom) to determine if it should output the {{wildcards-4-across}} chunk within the phx call.
