Chunk: Retrieving from where the chunk-call was done?

Is there any way to retrieve in a snippet or chunk from where the chunk or snippet was called?

We call a chunk from different TVs and need to know from which TV the call was done to use different values in the chunk depending from which TV the call was done.

Does anybody have an idea how to do this? Would be great

what do you use, to call it from TV?

e.g.


What we would like to avoid is to transfer the tv-name from where the call is done manually e.g. like this:


It would be great if it is possible to receive `box1` automatically in the chunk by just using the call

[[$chunk-name? &tv-name=´box1´]]

this would have been my suggestion.
Why not this way?

If there is no other way we would do it like you proposed. The reason why we want to avoid to manually add the `source` in the chunk-call is that we often copy/paste the content from one TV to another which would be error-prone if this is not done automatically ...

would need to know more about the whole situation.
Maybe there are ways to get there.

For example, you could call the TV with a snippet, which would set a placeholder with the tvname, before parsing and outputting the TV-content, which you would call like:



Not sure, if it is possible to call the TV directly with



and if the placeholder

would be available within the chunk automatically

or if you need to have all chunks with



then

this seems to work:



then you can use the placeholder

in your chunk to get the calling tvname

but, if you call that chunk multiple times at the same page, you will need to have a unique footprint for each.
So you will need:



It is also possible to give your chunk a default-property 'tvname' with the value '[[+tvname]]'

then seems to be enough [ed. note: Bruno17 last edited this post 11 years, 3 months ago.]
