Can't make it work

I’m trying to create a simple contact form using FormIt.
Here’s the snippet call and the form it self:

[[FormIt? &hooks=`email` &emailTpl=`MyEmailChunk` &emailTo=`[email protected]`]]

<form name="order" action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" class="form">
Name: <input type="text" name="name:required" id="name" value=[[+fi.name]] /><br/>  
<div class="form-buttons">  
        <input type="submit" name="form-submit" value="Send" />  
</div>  
</form>

No matter what I do, it doesn’t work and the placeholder [[+fi.name]] is visible in form field.
What am I doing wrong?
ModX version: Revo v.2.0.0-pl
FormIt version: 1.2.0

Hello,

You ommitted to put quotes (" ") around [[+fi.name]] in ’ value = " [[+fi.name]] " ’.
It should be the problem...

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hello, anso.
Thank you for answer, but it’s not the case. With or without quotes it doesn’t work.. (((
It seems like ModX doesn’t parse the formIt placeholders at all. (

I think you have to call the snippet UNcached too... Can you try this

[[FormIt? &hooks=`email` &emailTpl=`MyEmailChunk` &emailTo=`[email protected]`]]

And put the quotes around "[[+fi.name]]" too...
Cheers

I added the quotes.
I can’t see any differences between my code and the snippet call you suggest me to try. Are there any?(

Sorry (too fast to copy/paste I omitted to change the call) to UNcache the snippet you have to put an exclamation mark at the beginning of the snippet call

[[!Formit? &hooks=`email` &emailTpl=`MyEmailChunk` &emailTo=`[email protected]` ]]

Hope this helps this time !

[[!Formit? &hooks=`email` &emailTpl=`MyEmailChunk` &emailTo=`[email protected]` ]]

Now it shows the snippet call itself on the html page ((

Hi again,

I tested the code, it works fine here.

So just to be sure are you calling the snippet (ie : the "[[!Formit? &...]]" ) and the form on the same resource ?

If yes did you put the snippet call before the form ?

Please provide infos about your environement and install ....
Cheers
