    Hi everyone,

    I looked up how to output a chunk from inside a snippet, but I am not getting anything returned from the following code in the snippet...

    ’mySampleChunk’ definitely exists smiley

    $modx->getChunk(’mySampleChunk’); $modx->putChunk(’mySampleChunk’);

    Im using 0.9.6 rev 2767.

    Thanks

      Well, to begin with, you need to have the chunk put into a variable and do something with it:
      $mychunk = $modx->getChunk('myChunk');
return $mychunk;

      or maybe
      return $modx->getChunk('myChunk')

      putChunk is just a deprecated function that calls getChunk.
