Hey!

I have a kind of smart problem but I have no idea how to solve it. At first an overview about my system and what I do.

I have a database with a few datasets. Containing information about a special fire fighter units operation. I'am member of this unis ;-)
Now I want to show a list of alarms to visitors of our website ordered by year.
I have a ressource within two div-containers. One hold the content, the other a list of links (a href's). When I now call a link a signal or whatever shall passed to my snippet call with the SQL-Query expecting the year. [[operationOfYear? &year=[[currentYear]]]]
Is it possible to exchange the [[currentYear]]-call so that another value is passed to the call?

THANK YOU

In your link-list:

<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]? &year=`2010`]]">2010</a></li>
<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]? &year=`2011`]]">2011</a></li>
<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]? &year=`2012`]]">2012</a></li>

call your snippets uncached:

[[!operationOfYear? &year=`[[!currentYear]]`]]

your currentYear - snippet:

return $modx->getOption('year',$_REQUEST,'');

or put

$year = $modx->getOption('year',$_REQUEST,'');

directly into your operationOfYear - snippet.
