Creating new galleries using NewsPublisher (Escaping snippet call)

I’m trying to allow certain users to create new photo galleries by using news publisher, calling a tempate with a hidden content field with the maxigallery call that I want to go into the page.
ie:
<snip>
<input type=’hidden value="[[MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slidebox` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`800` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`]]" name=’content’>
</snip>

But modx runs the maxigallery snippet instead. Is there anyway of "escaping" the snippet call so it just puts the exact text above into the new document?

Or am I on completely the wrong track here!!!

cheers, mark

Hi,

I guess you should try to create a plugin instead of using an hidden field.

First you have to choose the most appropriate event in modx to attach the snippet call to the content when a doc is created by the allowed group.

:-)

EDIT: OnBeforeDocFormSave seems to be the right one.

Can’t you make own template for the gallery pages that have the maxigallery snippet call in the template and then make newspublisher use that template for new documents?

Of course I could do that, but why do it a simple way when my way was much more complicated

Working fine now, thanks for the tip.
