MiniShop3 snippets

MiniShop3 provides a set of snippets for building the store frontend. All snippets work through pdoTools and support the Fenom template 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	Specific product characteristics
msCustomer	Customer account
msOrderTotal	Order total summary

General principles

Calling snippets

You can call all snippets via Fenom:

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

Or via standard MODX syntax:

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

Caching

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

return parameter

Most snippets support the return parameter that defines the output format:

Value	Description
tpl	Process through a chunk (default)
data	Return a data array
json	Return a JSON string
ids	Record IDs only, comma-separated

toPlaceholder parameter

Instead of direct output, you can save the result to a placeholder:

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

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

Default chunks

MiniShop3 ships with a set of ready-made 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

You can override chunks by creating your own or specifying another chunk in the tpl parameter.
