chunk into snippet only if spec. page alias or id?

Hi!

I'am trying to load a snippet on a specific pageid with a code example from http://creativedev.in/2012/09/conditional-chunk-in-modx/:



the redirect page is alias:contact - I am not sure what to write instead of index.html...

It doesn't work. My page url looks like this:



I am using formit with a redirect to a "thanks" page. I want to have a field like "your email was sent successfully" after a visitor pressed the botton. At the moment I am using a modified getResources call to exclude the "thanks" area. But this is not as dynamical as it should be...

thanks!

For one thing, I would suspect that the second alias should be "index", not "index.html". MODx appends .html to the alias, so the alias itself is without the .html part.

thanks for the reply - but no...not the reason it's not working. I was wondering about the html ending too.

to see the alias of a page:

That code doesn't make a lot of sense; where is the variable $alias defined?
Try


Snippets should never "print" or "echo", they should always "return" whether they return any output or not.

You could also do this with an output modifier:

^^^^^ try that. So much simpler. :~}

Well, its simplicity comes at a price, it only works for one alias. If you want to check for multiple aliases, then you need the snippet.

good point. thank you all! Works now with the snippet.

I changed the "index" also into the alias:



Very nice to know how to use conditional tags...learning every day a bit more - great.

Well, I imagine it's cuz I don't know php well that I misunderstand... But the || followed with the same alias, so it seemed like only one condition is applying anyway. heh... I'm sure I'm missing something important.
