How to: Reference the Snippet-name to pass on as a Chunk...

Let’s say I have a SNIPPET and a CHUNK called: FOO

I execute my snippet:



and I want it to do some processing, and then return the CHUNK:



Here’s the question:
How can I return the Name of the snippet being called as chunk?

e.g.



I read through the MODx Tags, and didn’t see an attribute for referencing the called upon snippet, etc?

Does this make sense, and can it be done?

You could pass the snippet name in as a parameter ... I don’t think you can access the name directly, but saying that, I’ve never really tried.

So, have a parameter: &name=`FOO`

And, then call it like:

Interesting approach...

I’d still have to type it twice, but at least now it’s centralized. hehe

Anyone know if this can be referenced directly?

It’s your lucky day Just checked it out and you can use: $modx->currentSnippet

Too cool! You guys rock

Garry, mind posting a link for others to where you found this, or was it undocumented?

It’s undocumented as far as I know, I looked in the evalSnippets() function in manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php

If in doubt, go to the source as they say
