ummm... not quite. You should have a different name for the array. The array is constructed "key => value". When you are assigning these, you don’t usually want the key to be a variable (I think this would fall into the area of "variable variables", which always gives me a headache), while the value often will be (for example if taken from a database). So it would be

$myarray = array (
    'preview'  => $dbResults['preview'],
    'filetype'  => $dbResults['filetype'],
etc.
);

So you would be able to say $output[’preview’] and $output[’filetype’] in order to get the values.

This may not be at all constructive so I apologize, but I don’t understand why not use Ditto and Template Variables to display the downloads. You could have this ready in relatively minutes (or at least a few hours) as well as include another level of filtering by using tags. I went through the site in the first post and there are not really that many download items, clearly less than the 5000 document modx limit. Anyway, just a thought.

I now have a working snippet thanks to NetProphet. Code is as follows:

<?php
$placeholders = array (
    'preview'  => $preview,
    'filetype'  => $filetype,
    'scalable'  => $scalable,
    'editabletext'  => $editabletext,
    'resolution'  => $resolution,
    'layered'  => $layered,
    'fonts'  => $fonts,
    'download'  => $download
);

return $modx->parseChunk('downloadbox', $placeholders, '[+', '+]');
?>
