Sometimes there is just a need to set up your own placeholder!

 // Setting placeholder with any document TV on page
 // Usage example: [ [ ph? &tv=`id` &id=`123` &ph=`my_placeholder_name` ] ]
 // By: Piotr Matysiak / pm-fx.com
 
 if($method=='get'){$id = $_GET['id'];}
 $output = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array("$tv"),$docid="$id",$published=1);
 $output = $output[''.$tv.''];
 $modx->setPlaceholder($ph, $output );
 return;
 ?>

Usage example

[ [ ph? &tv=`pagetitle` &id=`56` &ph=`myPh` ] ]
