Hi,
I made a placeholder in modx to capture url parameter by using $_GET which is working fine.
But when I use this placeholder as a ‘value’ of a hidden field of my form it is not getting saved in the hidden field as I could see from the page source.

Kindly help..
thnks

Not sure what you mean. Where did you get lost and what error messages are you referring to? Are you able to get an output when you call your snippet?

Hi Mary.

Followed everything through and the first part was all OK but the second part, starting “So far so good. Now one of the good practice principles …” lost me, I couldn’t see any error message? Is it me?

Thanks

Thanks Shaun, that’s useful to know! I hadn’t really thought about that!

Worth it to note that this will only work on servers with the php.ini var ‘allow_url_fopen’ set to 1, due to the file_get_contents call.

Great start. I might take this and use it to create a feed for separate Twitter feeds I’m doing for a conference site (is-conference.com). Add a little jQuery and it will be pretty sweet I think. Looking forward to more posts.
