TV Widgets only returning 1 character

I’m having trouble with TV widgets. I’ve tried 2 separate ones and both are only passing 1 character - when there should be a whole word or even HTML block. I used both the Sidebar Widget tutorial http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Adding_TV_Widgets_without_hacking_the_core and the addCssWidget http://modxcms.com/addCssWidget-0.5-1156.html and I get the same results. The only thing passed through from the TV to the HTML is 1 character (I think it’s even the 2nd character in whatever the output string should be).

With the addCssWidget, my output would include the link tag generated from the snippet, but the actual output would look like the following. (The "/css/" is in the snippet as the default folder, so the only part coming from the TV is the "o" character- it should be "portfolio.css")

Same thing happens with the sidebar widget from the Wiki tutorial. I put the following into the RTE editor for the sidebarTV, but only a single "p" character comes out in the front end.

Anybody have any ideas? I get the same issue on both my local testing server (Mac OS 10.5 with PHP5 and latest MySQL) as well as my VPS web host (same setup but on Linux - can’t remember the flavor at the moment).

I’m using MODx 0.9.6.1p2

Thanks for your help!

That caught me out.
It should be
Not which restricts the result to one character.
I have edited the Wiki entry.

Awesome, that was it! It was the same issue in both snippets.

Thanks for the quick reply! You Rock!

Happy to help
