nest one @ binding inside another

Hi,

In the documentation, you write :

Nested Bindings
You can nest one @ binding inside another. For example, an @EVAL binding can be placed inside chunk while you can use the @CHUNK binding to retrieve the chunk containing @EVAL.

How do that ?

My case : in my sidebar I want to show a specific chunck of my actual document.
Id="5" Alias="page5" Chunck name="page5"

When I create the default value :
I need to define the alias name of my active document : $chunk_name = $modx->documentObject[’alias’]
Pass this value to the chunk binding : @CHUNK $chunk_name

or more simple : @CHUNK [*alias*] no

Thank’s

I find by myself : @EVAL return ’@CHUNK ’.$modx->documentObject[’alias’];

I wrote a bunch of pages in the Wiki because the official documentation left me with a lot of questions. Generally, I’d avoid nesting bindings. I might use a template variable to come up with a snippet name, but if I get to the point where I’m relying heavily on the order of operations, then I’m probably being more complicated than I need to be.

Have a look at the bindings page: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Bindings

Hopefully that will help clarify some things for you.
