how can i access the nodealias of parent document in my url pattern of page type?

I believe the url patterns must be based on the current document. I'm confused why you would have one page type have the same url of another.

You may just need to give it it's own pattern not based on its parent and set up a redirect or use a custom route handler. Can you explain more your reasoning behind the logic?

thanks trevor, all the page types i'm using are different i want to access the document page of country by its name i.e.

destinations/europe/germany

destinations/asia/uae

user can add multiple continents under the destinations document like europe, asia and so on... under one continent user can add multiple countries like

destinations/asia/india

destinations/asia/uae

here i'm facing problem unable to access third node of countries, please can you help how can i access country?

thanks trevor fayas, its working fine...

I did confirm that custom macros DO run in the presentation url, so absolute worse comes to worse, you could write a custom macro that generates the proper path for the presentation URL.

Hi Trevor, can you please explain about implementation of custom macro method that will return the parent node alias in url pattern of page type?

You can create a custom macro method here:

https://docs.kentico.com/k12/macro-expressions/extending-the-macro-engine/registering-custom-macro-methods

Then for the Page Type Url Pattern, you can do {% MyCustomMacro(NodeAliasPath) %}

where MyCustomMacro would return the proper path.

I give url pattern for country like this

/{%DocumentCulture%}/destinations/{%Parent%}/{%NodeAlias%}

and for city like this

/{%DocumentCulture%}/destinations/{%Parent.Parent|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

thanks

Make a custom macro method in the Util Namespace that is "GetDestinationPath(NodeAliasPath)"

In that method, get the TreeNode of that NodeAliasPath

var ThePage = new DocumentQuery().Path(NodeAliasPath).FirstOrDefault();

Then do a switch on the class name to determine the proper path.

switch(ThePage.ClassName.ToLower()) {

case "custom.country": 
    return string.Format("/{0}/{1}", ThePage.Parent.NodeAlias,  ThePage.NodeAlias);
case "custom.city":
    return string.Format("/{0}/{1}/{2}", ThePage.Parent.Parent.NodeAlias, ThePage.Parent.NodeAlias, ThePage.NodeAlias);
}

Lastly, for your URL pattern, you would do:

/{%DocumentCulture%}/destinations/{% Util.GetDestinationPath(NodeAliasPath) |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Hi Trevor, I am interested in that GetDestinationPath custom macro you describe, could you provide the full working file for reference, I also need to be able to configure a page type to generate pages under different URL structures.

Thanks
