for anyone else who has this problem i have done the following, in your template for the newspublisher add a dropdown box with a list of categorys (folders) you want to post to like so:
<label>Choose Category
<select name="select">
<option value="58">News</option>
<option value="59">Personal</option>
<option value="60">Blog</option>
</select>
</label>
changing the ID’s and category names to whatever the id’s and categorys are on yours, then modify the newspublisher snippet by commenting out this line:
$folder = isset($folder) ? intval($folder):$modx->documentIdentifier;
by adding // like so:
//$folder = isset($folder) ? intval($folder):$modx->documentIdentifier;
then near the bottom.
after these lines:
$pub_date = $_POST['pub_date'];
$unpub_date = $_POST['unpub_date'];
$published = 1;
add this line
$folder = $_POST['categoryid'];
i have no idea of an security implications, as admins will usually be doing this i don’t think there as any risk.
