Getting a page's root parent's alias

binarybee · **Posted:** Sun Sep 17, 2006 12:00 am

I needed a way to get the alias of a pages very top parent and calguy1000 on the IRC channel assisted me.

The code he has come up with is as follows...

Code:

global $gCms;
global $smarty;

$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();

$var = 'root_page_alias';
if( isset($params['assign']) && $params['assign'] != '' )
{
  $var = $params['assign'];
}
$result = "NO RESULT";
$thisPage = $gCms->variables['content_id'];
$currentNode = &$manager->sureGetNodeById($thisPage);
while( isset($currentNode) && $currentNode->getLevel() >= 0 )
{
    $currentContent =& $currentNode->getContent();
    $result = $currentContent->Alias();
    $currentNode =& $currentNode->getParentNode();
}
$smarty->assign($var,$result);

Create a new user-defined tag called get_root_page_alias and copy in the above code.

The tag can be called using...

Code:

{get_root_page_alias assign="varname"}

An example use would be...

Code:

{get_root_page_alias assign="root_page_alias"}The root parent of this page is:{$root_page_alias}

Cool, I added it to the docs/wiki:

This code doesn't work? I have CMSMS version 0.13. When I put the tag into the template code it stop printing after that.

I think this will only work on 1.0.

Yes, I just noticed the same thing.

So, I made a code which will work in version 0.13.

Code:

global $gCms;
global $smarty;

$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$thisPage = $gCms->variables['content_id'];
$node =& $manager->sureGetNodeById($thisPage);


$node_data = (get_object_vars($node));
$parent_node = (get_object_vars($node_data[parentNode]));
$parent_node_content = (get_object_vars($parent_node[content]));

echo $parent_node_content[mAlias];

This print page's root parent alias.

Is it possible to get the root page title?

Do you mean as a tag or the title-attribute of the root-page? As far as I know you can get the title-attribute if it is set.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Nils</div> <br clear="all" /><br /> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0"> <tr valign="middle"> <td class="gensmall" align="right"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td class="profile"><strong><a href="#wrapheader">Top</a></strong></td> <td><div class="gensmall" style="float: left;"> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=20&sid=de1d800585e2c62962960de36e270949"><img src="./styles/subsilver2/imageset/en/icon_user_profile.gif" alt="Profile" title="Profile" /></a> </div> <div class="gensmall" style="float: right;"> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="spacer" colspan="2" height="1"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table> <table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1"> <tr class="row2"> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a name="p42535"></a> <b class="postauthor">ostricized</b> </td> <td width="100%" height="25"> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="gensmall" width="100%"><div style="float: left;"> <b>Post subject:</b> Re: Getting a page's root parent's alias</div><div style="float: right;"><a href="./viewtopic.php?p=42535&sid=de1d800585e2c62962960de36e270949#p42535"><img src="./styles/subsilver2/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" /></a><b>Posted:</b> Sun Nov 19, 2006 1:56 am </div></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td valign="top" class="profile"> <table cellspacing="4" align="center" width="150"> <tr> <td></td> </tr> </table> <span class="postdetails"> </span> </td> <td valign="top"> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td> <div class="postbody">Hi Nils73!<br /><br />I am looking for the root page title value (attribute?), more specifically, the magic syntax to obtain that value just like what the 2 examples in this thread accomplish.<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance if anyone is willing to part with this information =)</div> <br clear="all" /><br /> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0"> <tr valign="middle"> <td class="gensmall" align="right"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td class="profile"><strong><a href="#wrapheader">Top</a></strong></td> <td><div class="gensmall" style="float: left;"> </div> <div class="gensmall" style="float: right;"> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="spacer" colspan="2" height="1"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table> <table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1"> <tr class="row1"> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <a name="p42554"></a> <b class="postauthor">nils73</b> </td> <td width="100%" height="25"> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="gensmall" width="100%"><div style="float: left;"> <b>Post subject:</b> Re: Getting a page's root parent's alias</div><div style="float: right;"><a href="./viewtopic.php?p=42554&sid=de1d800585e2c62962960de36e270949#p42554"><img src="./styles/subsilver2/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" /></a><b>Posted:</b> Sun Nov 19, 2006 2:34 pm </div></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td valign="top" class="profile"> <table cellspacing="4" align="center" width="150"> <tr> <td><img src="./styles/subsilver2/imageset/en/icon_user_offline.gif" alt="Offline" title="Offline" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="postdetails">Power Poster</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="./images/ranks/star.gif" alt="Power Poster" title="Power Poster" /></td> </tr> </table> <span class="postdetails"> <br /><b>Joined:</b> Wed Sep 08, 2004 3:32 pm<br /><b>Posts:</b> 524 </span> </td> <td valign="top"> <table width="100%" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td> <div class="postbody">ostricized,<br /><br />you can use all values out of MenuManger, so the title-attribute should be obtained like this:<br /><br /><span style="color: Red"><strong>1.
