output filter based on previous or parent page ID -- possible??#

I Hope I am posting to the correct forum.

have a 'content' template which handles all my pages.

I'd like to vary its content according to whether someone has clicked a link from the home page, which has a resource ID #1.

That is, if the Resource ID == 1, use a particular chunk which contains particular placeholders.
Otherwise display a different chunk with different placeholders.

It would be something like:

[[!*id:if=``:eq=`1`:then=``:else=``]]

*id is for the current page, I need whatever is the way to designate the previous page's ID to know if it was 1 or not...it's the only source for going to the particular resource IDs involved...

Would it be ?? Does this pre-defined TV exist?? I need to use the parent ID of the current ID to know what to do with this call.

It seems like

[[!*parent:if=``:eq=`1`:then=``:else=``]] would work
This is for an announcements section, where each announcement section goes to its own announcement, whose parent ID is 1 (home).

Thank you, Tom

Hi Tom,

does exist, it treturns the ID of the imediate parent. So your [[!*parent:if=``:eq=`1`:then=``:else=``]] should work...

you can also do

[[!*parent:is=`1`:then=``:else=`` ]]

Cheers

hi,

i search a documentation for all small function same : `is` or `if` etc...

do you know where can i find these pages ?

There's this page on the Docs: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Input+and+Output+Filters

But that doesn't show all the tiny output filters as you're saying.

One thing's certain: all of them are in the code @ http://github.com/modxcms/revolution/blob/master/core/model/modx/filters/modoutputfilter.class.php

Thanks a lot Mark,

now i can work well :-)

a good day
