Getting page type field of a specific page

Jason D asked on June 13, 2017 02:25

I have been searching and searching for something that would work or help me, and I'm not getting anywhere.

I have the code below, and the portion with "ModelName" needs to come from the Node Alias Path page as it's part of a different ("Product page") page type/ document type than the SKU information. If I just use "ModelName", it displays the current document's Model Name, but not the SKU I'm trying to refer to (it's a Related Products web part and transformation).

   <div class='item column column-block'>
  <a href='/Products/{% SKUName %}'>
    <img class='product-img' alt='{% SKUName %}' src='{% SKUImagePath #%}' />
    <div class='product-desc'>
      <h3>{% SKUName %} <span> 

      ----> This isn't working 
      {% Documents['/Products/All/' && SKUNumber].DocumentContent("ModelName") %}<---- 

      </span></h3>
      <p>{% "/Products/All/" + SKUNumber %}</p>
      <p class='summary'>{% LimitLength(SKUDescription, 70, "...") #%}</p>
    </div>
  </a>
</div>

Hi Jason,
I see some mistakes in your code:
1) Try to use double quote character " instead of single one ' in expressions like Documents["/Products"]
2) The expression Documents['/Products/All/' && SKUNumber] looks wrong because Documents object can load a document by index or NodeAliasPath value and it's not clear what you tried to do with AND operator. So here, I think you should use + operator, so expression will be like Documents["/Products/All/" + SKUNumber].
3) Property DocumentContent returns content of widgets or editable webparts, for example if you have editable text webpart with name EditableText1, you can get this value via DocumentContent["EditableText1"]
4) If you want to get some values from page type propertiesm, you can use the name of the property to get the value (example: Documents["/Home"].DocumentName) or use GetValue method (example: GetValue("DocumentName")

So your result expression will be like {% Documents["/Products/All/"+SKUNumber].GetValue("ModelName") |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}. And Kentico has Macro Console in System Application, where you can check any macro expression and see how they work

Thank you Anton! That worked.

The apostrophes versus double quotes, as well as the "&&" logic operator versus "+" were actually things that I was changing up to see if maybe I wasn't understanding how it was resolving... which I wasn't, clearly :)

Cheers
