Fill chunk i a snippet

Quote from: KBtechnics at Aug 15, 2008, 07:57 AM

Hi,

can I use $modx->parsechunk using a file as template instead of a chunk?
I tried to use the function call

$modx->parsechunk("@file:" . $modx->config['base_path']. $this->template_path . $filename, $fields_values_array, '[+', '+]')

but it returns FALSE.
Of course,

file_exists($modx->config['base_path']. $this->template_path . $filename) == TRUE

How can I do?

thx in advance

You may want to make a snippet

which could read the snippet call (the vars)
and then include an external file with php include()

In that file have the strings in place you ae going to insert into....

In the first place, the function is parseChunk. Case is important. In the second place, no, you cannot use it with a file, you can only use parseChunk with a chunk.
