Hi,

Trying to get placeholders to be replaced in the automessage chunk and struggling. I am doing a call fron a snippet like this

$output   =  $modx->runSnippet(
             "eForm",array(
                'eFormOnBeforeMailSent' => 'process',
                'automessage' => 'chunk'
            ));

Then the 'process' function looks like this

function process(&$fields){
    some stuff here();
 $fields['link'] = '<a href="[(site_url)][~115~]">follow the link</a>';  
    return true;
}

and finally in the automessage chunk, I have somethign like this

You can [+link+] and do something

The problem is that this [(site_url)][~115~] does not get replaced. The placeholder in the chunk does, but it's no good as I just a link to [(site_url)][~115~], not the right link. Anyone know how can I get modx to process [(site_url)][~115~] to the proper url?

Thanks!!

API makeUrl() should do the trick:

function process(&$fields){
    global $modx;
    some stuff here();

 $fields['link'] = '<a href="' . $modx->makeUrl(115, '', '', 'full') . '">follow the link</a>'; 
    return true;
}
