Hello Peter.
So you said in the beginning for this ticket "You are trying to nest snippets inside snippets inside snippets". Here is the thing....it worked FINE on my Joomla 3 website. Now that I am working with Tim Davis to migrate to Joomla 4 that functionality IS NOT working (snippets->snppets->snippets). I dont think there would be a reason wht it shouldnt work unless you have a technical reason. I really like this functionality, it's a BIG time saver, and in fact I wish there was a way to make it even easier to create these sll tree-like structures. I realize you want to keep it simple, and I dont think that what I am doing makes it complex, and I also see a real benenfit to using your technology in this way. Any chance you could make it work again?
The issue is that the way the syntax of the new snippets work, means you CANNOT nest a Snippets tag inside another SNIPPETS tag.
BUT I added support for a NEW Dynamic Tag that you can use INSIDE the snippet AND inside the variable default values.
Just installed your developer version of snippets. Let me know what you want to know. I use them for consistency in marketing and messaging, and also for easily updatable content scattered across pages and directories.
You can only change the tag characters for the main tags. Nog for the Dynamic Tags you can use inside the snippet. And no, you shouldn't use the same for both.
so currently I have [%snippet alias="my-snippet"%] all over my websites.
Are you saying that I would have to test to make certain that {% %} works
and then test that {%snippet alias="mysnippet" myvalue=[[snippet:another-snippet]] %} works
and then use re-replacer to change existing usage so that I can use this new mechanism?
