precedence ordering or should it be TSC rules?

Ok, I was wondering (I may have missed it though) what is the order of precedence for:
snippets, chunks, TVs?
Also, within a TV itself what would be the precedence here?

I’m asking this because I’ve been playing a bit with TVs and noticed that these sort of slide together at times.
It’s hard for me to explain because I was cutting/pasting/deleting/adding like mad a bit earlier.

This is also to Susan’s cookie based language code. I noticed that I can’t call a TV that is using a chunk that is using a TV.
hmmmm ...

Maybe this should be a TSC (TV, snippet, chunk) rules for calling what from what but not in a what !?!?!

Am I making any sense? (please no silly remarks that I’m not because I know I’m not but I’m trying )

I’m also asking since I saw a couple times in posts that certain code works as a snippet but not as a TV.

oh well, I need to get some sleep!

Hi Carsten,

This is something I looked at recently, it’s difficult to give a straight answer to the order of precedence because the document parser runs through a number of cycles for a document. But, on each cycle, the document parser deals with them in this order:

1. Template Variables and Document Variables
2. Settings (eg. [(site_url)])
3. Chunks
4. Snippets
5. Placeholders

All of the above are parsed in the parseDocumentSource() in document.parser.class.inc.php.

What I can’t wait for is the recursive parser in MODx 1.0 I think that will solve the majority of issues in this area.

Hope that helps,

Garry

Yes, it does!
Thanks!
