Get the parents of a page

Communities ContentBox CMS
1

Hello,

I need to know the parent ID’s of a page. Let’s say, i have a four level deep navigation and i like to know all it’s parents seen eg. from level 3.

I’m familiary with hasParent() and getParentID(), which gives me the parent one level up. And that’s the end of the road.
What i miss is somethng like getParentID()

The only way is see at the moment is to loop over the pageService to get the parents.

Ist this the right way?

Thanks

So you basically want to know the hierarchy?

Is that correct?

Yes, and the ID’s.

This is for the navigation. If a child is active, i also have to know it’s parents to apply the right CSS.

Here is a sample method for a visitor:

// visit

function visit(page,link){

var bc = “”;

if( arguments.page.hasParent() ){

bc &= visit( arguments.page.getParent(), arguments.link );

}

if( len( arguments.page.getTitle() ) ){

bc &= ’ #arguments.page.getTitle()# ';

}

return bc;

}

Hello Luis,

I will try this. page.getParent() and recursion is the key, great.
