Display Parent's Attributes, How to? Really need help!

Sunday 17 October 2004 12:41:33 pm

I have this structure:

Parent node (attr: name, image etc.)
| |
| child
|child

Within one of the childs I would like to display the parent's name or image.

How can I do that?

And if I would like to diplay the same attr of the parent's parent and so on? How can I do it?

Thanks

You can gather any information about the parent of the current node by setting up a fetch using <i>$DesignKeys:used.parent_node</i> for the node ID. Also, a good tip for learning what information is available to you, is to use <i>|attribute(show)</i> which will display all of the attributes assigned to an object. For example, to see all of the attributes assigned to the current node, you can use

{$node|attribute(show)}

Does this help?
