Evaluate document content

Hi All,

What I want to do is have some documents which are used by other documents (in a sidebar). I got as far as a snippet like this, but it breaks the site :-(

<?php
$result = '';

  $docid = (isset($docid))?$docid:109;
  
  $mydoc = $modx->getDocument($docid, '*', 0);
  
  //$result = $modx->outputContent(parseDocumentSource($mydoc['content']));
  
  return $result;
?>

If I just include the content variable of the document, it doesn’t evaluate snippets/chunks. Does anybody know how I might achieve this?

Cheers
Troot

What you are attempting to do is not possible in MODx 0.9.x, or not without a lot of work; those functions you are calling are internal and not intended for use in components. I would look into using Template Variables with the @PAGE binding instead.

Cheers for that OpenGeek, what is @Page though, I can’t see it in the documentation

My apologies, @DOCUMENT is what I meant. This is a way to bind the content from another Document to a Template Variable for rendering in a Document that has a template with access to those Template Variables.
