Calling Jot using template variable

Hi, I’ve got Jot working fine, however I was wondering how I could "insert" jot into any page by using a template variable?

I tried creating a template variable that when ticked calls in my custom chunk "[!Jot? &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`2`!]", but that didn’t work as it just outputs that literally.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can use @EVAL binding within your template variable. What about something like this... (?)

How about changing [!Jot? ... !] (uncached mode) to [[Jot? ... ]] (cached mode).

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('Jot', array('subscribe' => '1', 'pagination' => '2'));

Tried that but I get a weird error:

Warning: require_once(manager/includes/sniff/phpSniff.core.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream on line 22.

Changing the php file from:

require_once($modx->config[’base_path’] . ’manager/includes/sniff/phpSniff.core.php’);

to

require_once(’phpSniff.core.php’);

brings up the error:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« `` is not numeric and may not be passed to makeUrl() »

Still outputs it literally

Have the jot call in a chunk?

http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/@CHUNK_Binding

Err sorry for being stupid but how would I do that?

Make a text tv [*jot*] and assign it to template.
in default value type: @CHUNK my_chunk_name
or: {{my_chunk_name}}

Create a chunk with your jot-call: [!Jot?.... or [[Jot?...

in template add a [*jot*].

-----------

You can also make a dropdown tv with default: 0
and input options: Add==0||NoAdd==1

then with PHx installed: [*jot:is=`0`:then=`{{my_chunk_name}}`:else=`{{empty}}`*] in your template...

Right, errors: $modx is a global symbol and it should be directly imported into evaluated code

Many thanks guys, I got it working!

hOtTiGeR, how did you end up getting it to work? I’d like to try this also.
