PageBuilderResource snippet

Outputs sections from another resource. Same PHP as PageBuilder. Set the source with resource_id.

Purpose

• Hero or FAQ from a child page on the home page.
• Shared block on several resources without duplicating sections in each document.

Where to call

Template or chunk. Uncached call.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
resource_id	0	Source ID. 0 = current resource
section_types	empty	Section key filter
return_values	0	JSON instead of HTML (same as PageBuilder)
use_cache	1	HTML cache
load_css	from setting	Frontend CSS
wrap_page	like load_css	pb-page wrapper

If no resource can be resolved, the response is an empty string, including when return_values=1. If the id exists but there is no PageBuilder record, return_values=1 returns { "plainText": "", "sections": [] }.

Snippet properties list only resource_id and section_types. There is no required mark on resource_id. Other parameters work like PageBuilder. A call without arguments does not fail.

Example: FAQ from “About” on the home page

modx

[[!PageBuilderResource?
  &resource_id=`15`
  &section_types=`faq`
]]

fenom

{'!PageBuilderResource' | snippet : [
  'resource_id' => 15,
  'section_types' => 'faq'
]}
