The following snippet call works:

[[snippet_name? &param=`[*id*]`]]

This one not - why ?

[!snippet_name? &param=`[*id*]`!]

And what could be a solution ?

I found that - however that means I have to create a further snippet for this instead of using variables ? sad

perhaps in the top of the existing snippet you can add something like this:

$pageid = $modx->documentIdentifier;

this should get you the current doc id of the page the snippet is being called from... ?

This worked - now I need to find out how to get the page title because [*pagetitle*] does not work if the surrounding snippet is not cached.
Neither

$docInfo = $modx->getPageInfo($modx->documentIdentifier);
$title = $docInfo['pagetitle'];

nor

$docInfo = $modx->getDocument($modx->documentIdentifier);
$title = $docInfo['pagetitle'];

worked

This should work:

$pageid = $modx->documentIdentifier;

// grab some page info
$page_info =$modx->getPageInfo($pageid);
$pinfo_id = $page_info['id'];
$pinfo_ptitle = $page_info['pagetitle'];
$pinfo_desc = $page_info['description'];
$pinfo_alias = $page_info['alias'];

$output .="
pageid = $pinfo_id

page title = $pinfo_ptitle

page description = $pinfo_desc

page alias = $pinfo_alias";

this produces:
pageid = 39
page title = Geshi Highlighter
page description =
page alias = highlighter

Thanks, found the problem without knowing how to solve ( I am more used to JavaScript than to PHP)

[!snippet?[[snippet_2]]!]

whereas in snippet_2 the values are to be determined

$page_info =$modx->getPageInfo($modx->documentIdentifier);
$pinfo_id = $page_info['id'];
$pinfo_ptitle = $page_info['pagetitle'];
$title = "";

$title = "";
if (isset($pinfo_ptitle) && strlen($pinfo_ptitle))
   $title = $pinfo_ptitle;

return "&emailParam=`subject%3DAktualisierung der Seite: " .strlen($title)." (ID [*id*])$title`";

The title contains some ampersands (&) as description for German umlauts (Ä->Ä) that causes the problem >:(
So, how to mask the & in the page title ?

You can use an extra snippet for configuration.
This is what I usually do. I have a snippet called snippet_name_a, and I have another snippet with snippet_name_a_config

Inside snippet_name_a_config, I have this code

global $snippet_name_a_config;
$snippet_name_a_config = array();
$snippet_name_a_config['param1'] = 'value1';
$snippet_name_a_config['param2'] = 'value2';

While inside the snippet_name_a, I have this code on the beginning, so I can access specific global var from the config

global $snippet_name_a_config;
if(!isset($snippet_name_a_config)) {
  // Load all default config parameters needed for the snippet or you can return error, because no config found
}

The way you use the snippet is

[!snippet_name_a_config!]
[[snippet_name_a]]

Or you can define the snippet calling on the snippet itself by using $modx->runSnippet API.
Hope it helps.
