Heyas, I can get some fields like pagetitle, longtitle, etc to output nicely, but pub_date, createdby and others would output 0. Would it be possible to have it able to generate author, published date and author photo?
Thanks.
I have interpreted the documentation supplied
HERE and transformed it into colloquial U.S. English as best I can. I belive the documentation is incomplete, particularly with regard to examples.
Instructions
Installation
=======
1. Create new snippet with name "A" and description "Easy way to get and output fields of any document."
2. Paste snippet code and save.
Description of snippet’s parameters
======================
doc - ID/alias of document
id - If set, swithes snippet into placeholder output mode and creates placeholders prefixed with id value
fields - Comma-separated list of the fields you want to get
output mode - Switches snippet to use predefined setting (now there is only one predefined mode - ’link’)
s - Separator to delimit list of field values (when using output of multiple fields without formatting)
tpl - Template (string) in internal light format. Use %fieldname% construction for output formatting. Look at examples to understand this technology better. In this template you must replace "=" "%%", because there are some cases when MODx cannot correctly run the snippet with the symbol "=" in parameters.
Use examples
========
Output description of page with ID=2: Output longtitle using alias of document
Some ways to build links to document:
Examples with output formatting: [!A? &doc=`11` &mode=`link` &tpl=`%pagetitle%`!]
[!A? &doc=`11` &fields=`pagetitle,longtitle,url` &tpl=`%pagetitle%`!]

If this still interests you, yurik, would you please work with me to improve the documentation of this interesting snippet?
Thanks!
I looked just like that in 1964.
