I am trying to get the content of pages I have built to show up in other pages. Is there a specific call or snippet available where I can specify the page id and then have the content from a different page to show up?

have you tried out GetField snippet?

If you need additional info, like the page title for example, you could use the getDocument() method

getDocument(int $documentID, string $fields, boolean $published)

$document = $modx->getDocument(50, '*', 1);
$title = $document['pagetitle'];
$content = $document['content'];

This sounds quite interesting...if I use a * will it also retrieve the TV’s of that document?

I’ll have to take a look...

Thanks,
Taff

[EDIT]

getTemplateVarOutput is the baby I was after...I can even use it to retrieve other Document properties like content createdon etc etc

Put this bit of code in a snippet to see it working...

$doc_id = 1; //The document from which we want to retrieve the TVs
$results=$modx-> getTemplateVarOutput("*", $doc_id);
print_r($results);

Thanks for the pointer though Scotty.

Create a template variable and use the @DOCUMENT binding.
