Hi,
I have this code to link to my tell-a-friend-page (simplified):

{exp:channel:entries channel="{tec_my_channel}" limit="1" disable="member_data|trackbacks|pagination" track_views="three" status="open" cache="no" refresh="2500" require_entry="yes"}
    {if no_results OR segment_5!=""}{redirect="technik/404"}{/if}

{if dachzeile != ""}<h4>{dachzeile}</h4><p>{/if}<br />
<h1>{title}</h1><br />
{if thumb_bild}{thumb_bild}{/if}</p>

<p>{tec_empfehlen}</p>

<p>...<br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Now the snippet “tec_empfehlen” contains

<a href="http://{permalink={tec_my_template_group}/tell_friend}">recommend this entry</a>

But the link is parsed as

<a href="http://www.lehrerfreund.de/technik/1s/bauteil-in-perspektive-ansichten-finden/{permalink={tec_my_template_group}/tell_friend}">http://www.lehrerfreund.de/technik/1s/bauteil-in-perspektive-ansichten-finden/{permalink={tec_my_template_group}/tell_friend}</a>

When I take the code of the snippet and put it into the template, everything works correctly.

I know that there is the parse-order, but in another template (which is quite similar to the one I quoted above) I call a snippet which is also very much similar to the one I quoted above - and there it works.

Is there any help or idea?
Thanks in advance!

I would try doing it withour the permalink:

just try:

<a href="http://{site_url}/{tec_my_template_group}/tell_friend">recommend this entry</a>

Thanks, but it’s a similar problem - the link is not correctly parsed, output is like

<a href="http://www.lehrerfreund.de//{tec_my_template_group}/tell_friend">http://www.lehrerfreund.de//{tec_my_template_group}/tell_friend</a>

Doesn’t look like a problem related to the parsing order.

Just looks like EE doesn’t recognize your variable “{tec_my_template_group}”

Where did you define {tec_my_template_group} ?

It’s a snippet, and it works throughout the site. If I use another snippet (which works in another context perfectly), it’s the same problem.

does it work outside your embed ?

Yes, outside it works. Even if I paste the whole code of the snippet “tec_empfehlen” just into the template instead of using the snippet, it works.

Shane told me (in context of another issue), that I can’t use snippets inside of snippets.

It seems this sometimes works, and sometimes not. But probably you MUST NOT use snippets inside of snippets.
So I found another solution and now it works.

Thanks to all and my case closed 😊

Glad to hear you found a solution, lehrerfreund!
