Reference Another Document's content

We have multiple documents that have the same content but must resided in different locations under the navigation scheme. For example:

Home (1)
Parent1 (2)
Child1_2 (2)
Child1_2 (1)
Parent2 (1)
Child2_1 (1)
Child2_2 (1)

Child2_1 and Child1_2 have the same content but must maintain independent navigational hierarchy. In essence, I want two documents where the second, Child2_1, simply references the content of the other document, Child1_2.

What I’ve tried
--------------
1) I tried a weblink by linking the Child2_1 to Child1_2, but was unable to keep the Child2_1’s navigation active. It simply linked to the other page. I hoped for the option to reference the content link instead of actively moving to that link.

2) I tried to find information about various objects, like the $Modx object, in the hope to build a snippet that reference a "DocumentId" parameter and the associated "content" property. No luck. I found various articles referencing the ModX object along with other objects, but couldn’t find an exhaustive list of classes, properties and methods available to a snippet.

I figure I’m missing something obvious. After a few hours of digging in the forest, I figure I can’t see the trees anymore.

Thanks,

If the content is just HTML or text (no modx tags) you can use a TV with @DOCUMENT to pull the given document’s content.

You can also try the GetField snippet. [!getField? &docid=`123` &field=`content`!]
Or even Ditto. The Ditto template-chunk would then only be [+content+]

With MODx, there’s always more than one way to get to Rome

Genius, the getField snippet worked wonderfully. And the forum response time to my question, scary good.

Thank you.

(When I have time, I will learn the other 2 methods.)
