CurrentDocument.Parent is not returning any value

Brijesh Singh asked on January 30, 2018 22:45

Our macro is failing on child page while accessing the information of parent page.

Below both are working on parent page.

{%CurrentDocument.GetValue("TOC")#%} {%CurrentDocument.TOC#%}

On child page , below is failing.

{%CurrentDocument.Parent.GetValue("TOC") #%}

It is working fine in Kentico 8.2 but stopped working after migration to 9.0. Any help would be highly appreciated.

You could try and see if CurrentDocumentParent.GetValue(“TOC”) works for you DocumentContext Kentico 9

Hi Brijesh,

Looks like the problem is that you are trying to retrive custom field on parent page type. If that is the case, you must combine you query (macro method) with 'WithAllData' method. Try something like this: {% Documents.WithAllData.Where("NodeAliasPath='" + CurrentDocument.Parent.NodeAliasPath + "'")[0].GetValue("TOC") |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

This should solve your issue. You can modify where condition how ever suits you best, but 'WithAllData' is necessary.

Best regards, Dragoljub
