MiniShop3 snippets

MiniShop3 provides snippets for building an online store on the frontend. All snippets work via pdoTools and support the Fenom templating engine.

Snippet overview

Snippet	Purpose
msProducts	Product list with filtering and sorting
msCart	Shopping cart display
msOrder	Checkout form
msGetOrder	Order information
msGallery	Product image gallery
msOptions	Options for product filtering
msProductOptions	Product specifications
msCustomer	Customer account
msOrderTotal	Order total

General principles

Calling snippets

All snippets can be called via Fenom:

{'msProducts' | snippet: [
    'parents' => 5,
    'limit' => 10
]}

Or standard MODX syntax:

[[!msProducts?
    &parents=`5`
    &limit=`10`
]]

Caching

Snippets that work with user session (msCart, msOrder, msCustomer) must be called uncached (with !).

return parameter

Most snippets support return to set output format:

Value	Description
tpl	Process via chunk (default)
data	Return data array
json	Return JSON string
ids	Comma-separated IDs only

toPlaceholder parameter

Save result to a placeholder instead of direct output:

{'msProducts' | snippet: [
    'toPlaceholder' => 'products'
]}

{* Use later *}
{$_modx->getPlaceholder('products')}

Default chunks

MiniShop3 installs a set of default chunks:

Snippet	Default chunk
msProducts	tpl.msProducts.row
msCart	tpl.msCart
msOrder	tpl.msOrder
msGetOrder	tpl.msGetOrder
msGallery	tpl.msGallery
msOptions	tpl.msOptions
msProductOptions	tpl.msProductOptions

Override by creating your own chunks or setting the tpl parameter.
