Hi,
I need to set some placeholders in a snippet but placeholders by $modx->setPlaceholder give no value!
this is a example code:

<?php

$select = $modx->db->select("*", $table, "id=".$id);
$rw = $modx->db->getRow($select);
foreach($rw as $fld)
     $modx->setPlaceholder( "[+BB." .$fld. "+]" , $rw[$fld] );

?>

putting snippet call and [+BB.someKey+] in a page has no result. placeholder has no value.

In your PHP code using the API function $modx->setPlaceholder, omit the [++] stuff. Check the docs:

http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/API:setPlaceholder

$modx->setPlaceholder(’jobtitle’,’Systems Engineer’);
Here, you’d use [+jobtitle+] in your modx document, chunk or template. What you end up with here, is [+[+myValue+]+], confusing the poor modx parser
