Hi all! I'm trying to use this code in my chunk:

[[!getResources? 
&toPlaceholder=`showborder`
&parents=`` 
&limit=`0` 
&depth=`0` 
&sortby=`menuindex` 
&sortdir=`ASC`
&tpl=`tpl-leftmenu2` 
]]

Z [[+showborder]] X

but it returns "Z X" without getResources result. if i remove " &toPlaceholder=`showborder` " from snippets propeties it works OK and returns result before "Z X".

what am I doing wrong?

How is the chunk being included in the page output? The placeholder may be being parsed before getResources has set it (since getResources is cached and the placeholder is not).

Try using

[[!+showborder]]
