how to call a php include from outside of modx

Can we use serverside include type calls in modx
ie
using the following to pull in from another dir outside of modx ?

< ? php include "path/outside/modx/"; ? >

i tried to put it in the doc but didn’t work, also tied it as a snippet

Yes you can.. In snippets, just use normal php include or include_once functions at the snippet code..(no need to put the <?php ?> tags). At documents, you need to use some snippet to inlude files, look at these:

php include
Include any file within the document.

Hi guys!

My Question is related to this here so I post it here:
I want to display this content: http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

So i created the php into a snippet:

and i can load the snippet like this:
[[!vimeo_thumb? &id=`123456`]]

BUT, here comes the problem, I don't get the same thumbnail link like here:
http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

My guess was, that I am doing something wrong in the php code, what could it be?
thanks for fast response! =)

Try to print the values to see what's in them, for example replace:



with:



On a side note, this is quite an old thread (6 years) and about different subject, so you better create a new thread.
