Answered How to strip spaces out of a template variable?

Hi. I have a text template variable where I want to strip out any spaces so I can use the value in an HTML tag. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Alternatively, I could replace the spaces with underscores or dashes.

Thanks.

Try one of these where you want the TV value:

A faster alternative would be a custom snippet:

[[!ChangeSpaces? &val=`[[*tvName]]` ]]

<!--?php
/* ChangeSpaces snippet */
$replacement = ''; // or put a - or _ inside the quotes

$val = $modx--->getOption('val', $scriptProperties);
return str_replace(' ', $replacement, $val); 

The custom snippet worked perfectly. Thank you.

Glad I could help. Thanks for reporting back.
