Template variables .. + snippet includes....

Im sure this has been covered before .. but can i find it anywhere? can i heck as like so

heres what i want to do .. i have finally got the marquee widget working thnx to the fixes ..
and i want to call this in the marquee widget (called (*scroller*) that i have created ... i want this in it : [[scrollerlisting?startID=5&tpl=ScrollerListingTemplate&summarize=20]]

this is just a template for newslisting that shows only the titles .. the idea being that the latest news scrolls up the side of the site ... now the widget works with just plain text ... but when i use this snippet instead .. i get nothing .. so im sure im doing it wrong .. anyone got any ideas?


cheers guys

You can use it as a value inside a TV, when you’re using widget. MODx parser will parse the snippet tag while it’s being outputed as is, while if you put it in a TV with widget special outputing, the current value will be parsed first, before it’s being outputed.

Use @EVAL instead.


hope it works on your case.

@EVAL $modx->getSnippet("scrollerlisting", array("startID"=>5, "tpl"=>"ScrollerListingTemplate", "summarize"=>20));

It’s my fault again. Here is the well tested code


Just make sure that you return all the output of your php statement on your eval tv binding.
