  • set aside TV input option value at @EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('getAside');
  • allow aside TV to access your desired templates
  • in those templates, set [[showAside? &chunks=`[[*aside]]`]]
  • you now should be good to go!
  • Note: setting "Lock chunk for editing" as activated prevents the chunk edition from the grid

    New in 1.0.0-pl

    • Added an option to remove an aside from any resource without deleting the aside (chunk)
    • Ensure an aside isn't in use before deletion
    • Added id placeholder for the wrapper, to allow a better css styling/targeting.
