[Solved] How to have the value returned by a snippet stored in a TV ?

I currently have a project for which I’d need to have a TV storing the ID of the UltimateParent of any given document, for later use as a Ditto filter.

Of course you can’t do something like this (too bad ) with the TV’s default value, since it’s not parsed :



Is it possible to achieve something like this ?
Should I copy paste UltimateParent’s code, hardcoding the parameter after the @EVAL ?

Thanks !

Hi david,

try with

@EVAL $up_Params[’topLevel’]=2; return $modx->runSnippet(’UltimateParent’,$up_Params);

This should do the trick.

Great !

It looks so easy and obvious when you write it... Man, if you keep up this way I’ll start selling your services (that is, if you’re not overworked already ) or hire you for training me !

I’ll try this ASAP and report...

PS : I owe you several rounds of beer or whatever you like drinking if you drop by Paris someday

And it does (the trick) : great !

Mucho gracias

u’re Welcome

That’s really a nice tip, I mean now that you provided the logic, I can re-use it in other cases with other snippets... @bindings are powerful, now I can also style my links according to which section the article belongs to

Opens a lot of possibilities !

We definitely should have those tips grouped in one place some day...

That’s a brilliant piece of help for me too!
