How do I use an include snippet and pass placeholder parameters?

I followed this tutorial: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Managing+Resources+and+Elements+via+SVN and correctly implemented the include snippet. This seems very limiting though. Is there a way that I can still pass paramters into the chunk, snippet, etc?

For example:
In resource:


In snippet.php:

This should work. But you can just make your snippet static and define the path to it.

As of 2.2.0, you can simply add a "static" Snippet: just reference the static file.

Right, I was using the "static" feature for a while. The problem is that if I want to create a new snippet I have to create it in the static location and inside of MODX. I wanted to see if I could find a way to only have to create it on the file server and just have a single snippet for including them.

For anyone looking at this, I found this really neat plugin called ElementHelper. Here is a link to the package: http://modx.com/extras/package/elementhelper23.

It basically grabs all your static files and creates them in the MODX manager automatically. Pretty much solves my above problem. Nice work, rory_g!
