How to get parent node information?
I am using <%= CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.DocumentName.ToString() %> in template to get document name. Now i need to get parent-level document name. <%= CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.ParentPageInfo.DocumentName.ToString() %> is causing error. How i can get this value?

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please try to use something like this:

TreeNode tn = SelectSingleNode(CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeParentID);

if (tn <> null)
{
//you got the parent ID and you can use it to get more info
}

I hope this will cover your needs.

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus

Have there been more efficient ways created since this post to retrieve a document name?

SelectSingleNode has a lot of overhead in loading the CMS Tree view, just to get a single field.

Hi,

You can compose a custom SQL query which will return just the document name from the database and in WHERE condition you will use the parent node ID and pass it to the query using ExecuteQuery method.
