Snippets & Sorcerer issues

David Hillock's Avatar David Hillock
I have a snippet, called LoadFirstName, with this code
{source}
<?PHP $customFields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_users.user', JFactory::getUser(), true); 
echo $customFields[4]->value . ',';?>
{/source}

In an article I put this, and it works: {snippet title="LoadFirstName"}

I created a custom HTML component, and in the module area, I added this: {snippet title="LoadFirstName"}

Instead of displaying the first name, it displays the code in my snippet. I tried putting source tags around the snippet, but that did not work - like this: {source}{snippet title="LoadFirstName"}{/source}

If I put the source from the snippet directly in into the component, it does work. However, it would be great to have the php code isolated...to a snippet.

Any suggestions. Thank you

It is probably due to the system plugin ordering. Try changing the ordering of the plugins in question.
See: regularlabs.com/blog/242-plugin-order-is-important

You say "custom HTML component", but I assume you mean "custom HTML module".
If the ordering doesn't;t work, switch on the "Prepare Content" option in the module.

Prepare option works, and sorry about that - I was referring to a custom HTML module.

Consider the option closed.

Thank you
