I know I have seen this on the board before but just cannot find it.

I am looking to use three different snippets. becuase of the current limitation of only using two snippet calls within each other [!...[[...]]...!] it makes it inpossible to use the thrid snippet I need.

I want to create a custome snippet, is there a way i can call 3 different snippets inside of another snippet??

Thanks
Brian

Hi,
I’m doing something similar atm. I have a snippet that has to check some stuff, call UltimateParent (or something very similar) and then wayfinder...you can do it like this:

<?php
$runWayf=$modx->runSnippet(
'Wayfinder',
array(
startId=>'1',
rowTpl=>'tertTpl',
outerTpl=>'tertTplOuter',
));
?>

See $modx->runSnippet(string $name, Array $parameters);

e.g.

<?php
$output= $modx->runSnippet('SnippetOne', array ('param1' => 'foo', 'param2' => 'bar'));
$output.= $modx->runSnippet('SnippetTwo', array ('param1' => 're', 'param2' => 'bar'));
$output.= $modx->runSnippet('SnippetThree', array ('param1' => 'chocolate', 'param2' => 'bar'));
?>
