Accessing template variable

Hi guys, i ran into a problem today. I want to give a template variable to snippet as argument, but i was unable so far. Here is how it goes:

[!products? &cat=’X’ &lang=’[*my_tmpl_variable*]’ !]

I tried *,[,! nothing worked. Is there even a way to parse this variable for the current page?

The parameters of snippet call are enclosed in back ticks " ` ", not single quotes.

Thanks for the correction i missed this, but still the variable is not passed to the snippet

Which snippet you are using? Is it from MODx extras section or custom built?

Custom build basically the first variable works, just the part where I’m accessing the Template Variable is not working.

If you’re using it as a parameter like that, it should be available automatically as $lang.

The problem is even using it directly (i.e. [[languageIdentifier]]) i get no result. This variable is a part of multi-language system mod. Here on the forums.

What output does your TV produce (if you just have the TV in your content, what does it display)?

No output, nothing. And i can see in the Content page that there is assigned value to the variable.

Is it even possible to access template variable and to return the value for the current page?
