    I'm trying to output a specific image size based on a grandparent ID of '73'

    This snippet returns the correct ID...

    [[!UltimateParent? &toplevel=`3`]]


    But how do I include this in an output modifier? - I thought this would work but it doesn't...

    <img src="[[!UltimateParent? &toplevel=`3`:notequalto=`73`:then=`[[*product_image:phpthumbof=`w=412&h=440&zc=1`]]`:else=`[[*product_image:phpthumbof=`w=412&h=440&zc=1`]]`]]" alt="[[*alias]]" />


    Any help appreciated. Thanks

        Just answered my own question, what I really needed was the parent ID of the current resource...

        $id = $modx->resource->get('id');   $parents = $modx->getParentIds($id, 2);   $parent = $parents[0];    return $parent;


        This one returns the grand parent...

        $id = $modx->resource->get('id');   $parents = $modx->getParentIds($id, 2);   $grandParent = $parents[1]; return $grandParent;
