how to get value of a placeholder in snippet for Revolution, properly?

Argh! Call me stupid i just spent 30 mins googling for this info without success.
Basically I have a chunk which calls a snippet. In the snippet I want to get the page's "menutitle" placeholder and use it in my code.

This is what I had, i tested it and i thought it works.

echo $modx->documentObject['menutitle']

However, checking it today I noticed it doesnt output anything. I tried using getPlaceholder code too, no success. What am I doing wrong?

The chunk in question is called on lots of separate pages.

Ok, some further info.
Snippet with above code is called "get_tags"
I have one chunk on homepage which calls

this works fine and outputs the menutitle from the snippet.

However, another chunk calls

but the snippet doesnt output anything here?

what could be causing the problem? I used to just use instead of get_tags snippet before, all this worked ok, however I had to tweak the output further hence the use of snippet instead of just a placeholder call.

lol, well i found a way.. its not pretty but it works:



so



then in get_tags I can access menutitle by referring to $strmenutitle

It's becauce documentObject is deprecated and no longer there.
