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: Select all
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,$result);
Create a new user-defined tag called get_root_page_alias and copy in the above code.
The tag can be called using...
Code: Select all
{get_root_page_alias assign="varname"}
An example use would be...
Code: Select all
{get_root_page_alias assign="root_page_alias"}The root parent of this page is:{$root_page_alias}

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: Select all
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.

Hi Nils73!
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.
Thank you very much in advance if anyone is willing to part with this information =)

ostricized,
you can use all values out of MenuManger, so the title-attribute should be obtained like this:
1. Create a user-defined tag called "get_parent_title" with following values
Code: Select all
global $gCms;
global $smarty;
$manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();
$var = 'root_page_title';
if( isset($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->Titleattribute();
$currentNode =& $currentNode->getParentNode();
}
$smarty->assign($var,$result);
Code: Select all
{get_title assign="root_page_title"} The root parents' title of this page is:{$root_page_title}
This should do the trick.
Regards,
Nils

Four new methods in the CustomContent module do this:
$ccuser->get_parent_alias($alias = '') get_root_alias($alias = '') get_page_title($alias = '') has_children($alias = '') <-- output a boolean indicating if the specified page has children (use current page if no page is specified)
Just thought I'd let you know.

I've inserted the code for getting the parent title, still not working...I am using CMSMS 1.2.3, and I do have the title defined.
All I get is:
The root parents' title of this page is:
and then it is blank
