    I have created a Faculty/Staff profile CMP and a few relating snippets. One of the snippets will show all of that faculty’s info like name, title, phone ect. I am taking the approach that this data is handled by custom data fields rather than use lots of TVs in a Resource to create the desired fields. The snippet is called like a normal snippet in the content of a resource. So one resource can display many faculty based on an ID sent in the URL, but only one at a time. I would like to be able to have the snippet override the pagetitle placeholder with the faculty’s name and also override a few other of the Resources placeholders. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

      You could use your own customized Snippet, maybe based on getResources, adding in the joins you need to your custom tables, or simply use a Snippet in the Chunk tpl for getResources that returns the data you need from your custom tables.
