Parsing [~id~] Tags

Where in the MODx code are the [~id~] tags parsed? $modx->parseDocumentSource doesn’t seem to do it, and I searched through document.parser.class.inc.php and couldn’t find a regex that does it.

Any ideas? I’m writing a snippet that returns the content of a document and I need it to make sure these tags are parsed. Thanks!

you want $modx->makeUrl()

So I guess I have to parse the document content myself, looking for the tags and replacing with the output of makeURL? I.e. there is no MODx API function that does this?

Andy

Ah, ok then, it’s $modx->rewriteUrls($documentSource), line 873 of manager/includes/document.parser.inc.php. That’s not really supposed to be an external API, though, so I can’t promise its performance under different circumstances.

Thanks! I looked at the code and function looks simple enough in operation that it should work ok.

No promises that non-public/external/whatever-the-proper-name-is functions will be there in future (read 097) releases though.

I hope if it is replaced there will be an equivalent. Being able to return parsed document content from a snippet is very useful. Or perhaps there is another way I should be doing it?

This definitely will not be compatible with 0.9.7; that function is completely removed. In 0.9.7, there is source-order, recursive parsing, and there is one single method to process tags within content, regardless of what tag it is.

Great - one function for parsing sounds a lot better.
