I have a button, when its parent or parentparent of id 50 I need to add class="active"
[*parent:is=`50`:then=`class="active"`:else=``*] doesn't cover the subpages.

Any idea how I can do this?

Have you tried using ultimateparent = 50 ?

Hmm, then I need to do something like this.
Not very clean solution but it works.

[*parent:is=`50`:then=`class="active"`:else=``*][*ultimateparent:is=`50`:then=`class="active"`:else=``*]

Let me know if I am wrong BUT:

Everything that is underneath "50" using ultimateparent will have the active class, not just parentparent

Using "IF" it looks like this:

[[if? &is=`[[UltimateParent]]:in:50` &then=`class="active"` &else=``]]

The above code is a modified call that comes from one of my templates, it does basicaly the same as what you want, it adds to all documents "nested or not" underneath ID 50

I think if that doesn't work exactly how you want it, you could do something like the following, a kind of catch-all:

[[if? &is=`[*parent*]:is:50:or:[[UltimateParent]]:in:50` &then=`class="active"` &else=``]]

I haven't tested this
