Is it possible to render link tag ([~id~]) within a snippet

Hi,

Hopefully someone can advise on the following.

I'm trying to pass the value of [~id~] into a snippet. So for example


But it seems my snippet is running before the link tag is processed. I was wondering if there's a way to process the link tag within the snippet itself.

I was going to use $modx->makeUrl method but this includes the full url (sub directories etc) which i don't want.

I suppose i could strip out the base url from it but was hoping there was an easy option of processing the link tag.

Edit:
I'm using Evo 1.0.6

Thanks

May be it's just the typo? $param should be &param

And you're sure you want to use Evo syntax?

You can also try making the snippet uncached so it gets processed later.

Thanks for the replies,

Ottogal yep just a typo there, i've amend post and yeah I'm using Evo.

Susan, yep tried cached and uncached but still no luck.

I've stripped the snippet down to the basics:



For this example the value of the url will be "en/home.html"
The snippet code is:


This should return 0, but it's returning nothing at all.

If I manually set &url in the snippet call it works fine. Also if I output $url in the snippet the correct url is returned. But I think all that is happening here is it's actually just outputting "[~[*id*]~]" again which is then getting processed outside of the snippet.

Thanks again

hi,

i've got a little (and maybe silly ) question
how do you expect modx to output en/something.html ? your ressources are in a en folder ?

just because if you were using yams you url should be (yams_id)/[~[*if*]~]

just wondering...
