[SOLVED] Is there anyway to pass parameter from snippet to chunk

I want to post "uid" value to next page via POST only and want to set hidden field which will contain "uid" as a value. I believe practically its not allowed to pass values to chunk. I want to know whats the proper way so i can get POST data and use that value in chunk ??

My procedure

1) I have created resource (document) which contains call to snippet and then chunk

2) snippet contains value retrieved from POST

3) chunk contains a form and fields, I want to inject that POST value in this form.

Are you getting the chunk in the snippet with $modx->getChunk (or could you)?

If so, you can put placeholder tags in the chunk and send them along in the getChunk() tag like this:

Thanks Bob, Thanks for the solution I will try this and will let you know how it goes

I found another similar solution that i used, concept is almost same just little change

snippet:

chunk

Yes, that will work as well. Using getChunk() is a little less sensitive to the parsing order and less prone to conflicts, but your method usually works fine.

BTW, if you only have one, you can just use this:




If the snippet is called uncached (and I think it should be), you shouldn't need to have the placeholder tag uncached.
