Snippet parameters can't contain html code?

Hello,

I ran into a snippet parameter problem:

The snippet call is the following:


THE PROBLEM:
Inside the snippet $str = "<tr><td clas"

Anyone has a clue of what’s happening?

For info:
I created the snippet ifNotEmpty that test if a tv is empty and if not insert it in a predefined html code (or a chunk using &tpl or a string using &str parameter) in the placeholder called [+ifnotempty+]. I want to keep the &str option else I’ll have to do a lot of chunks for every tv display.

You can’t have ’=’ signs in Evo snippet parameters. The parser cannot handle them (same for ’&’ and ’?’)

You will have to try and use substitution values, for example, |eq| for ’=’, and go from there. Once the value has been passed to the snippet code, you can do a str_replace() to reverse the substitution.

Thanks for the answer.
This should be writen in the docs like this one: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Snippet_call_anatomy
I’m surely not the only one facing this problem.

But I’m glad now, I can go on doing the str_replace thing

Thanks again.

You can also code your snippet to take an external config file,

which is a simple .php file with a list of variable settings.

Or you can wrap your snippet in a wrapper snippet, define an array of parameters, then call the runSnippet API function.

Good to know those other possibilities but a chunk is another solution too. I’ll stick with the str_replace() because I have to use ifNotEmpty snippet several times.
