GetChunkByUPID - MODx snippet (Get Chunk by UltimateParent ID)

This snippet recursively searches the document tree and determines the "ultimate" parent (the one whose parent is 0) of the given document, then ads that ID to a chunk name. it will then give you a chunk call corresponding to the id.

Description

I was struggling with the fact that the parser can not pars a snippet insite a chunk call, e.g. {{chunkname-!snippetname!}}.
You may ask why would you want to do somthing like that? Here is why:

I often make multilangual sites and to show the visitor on what language he is I use flags those flags also have a link to the other languages.
so using a snippet like UltimateParent inste a chunk call would give me the option to get ID specific chunk calls but calling a snippetcall insite a chunkcall does not work. (atleast not on modx0.9.1.2 and before) Now I'v adapted Susan's great snippet (UlimateParent) to ouput a chunk call based on the UltimateParent ID.

this way you can display chunks that correspond to UltimateParents ID without using a TV and @INHERIT

Instructions

Just call the snippet like this:
!GetChunkByUPID? &chunk=`chunkprefix-`!
and create the coresponding chunks e.g. chunkprefix-12

when you do not set the $chunk in the snippet call or in the snippet itself it will return a chunkname that only contains a ID e.g. {{12}}
