Is there anyway I can pull in a parent title?

You see I have a page with a sub nav, and above that sub nav I want to show the parent title at all times.

Can it be done?

If you’re using Wayfinder, you can use the &displayStart parameter. The corresponding &startItemTpl lets you customize its display; by default it’s

<h2>[+wf.linktext+]</h2>[+wf.wrapper+]

Well this is my wayfinder:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent? &topLevel =`2`]]` &outerTpl=`sidenav`!]

sorry, didn’t read carefully enough, Susan’s right
then:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent? &topLevel =`2`]]` &displayStart=`true` &outerTpl=`sidenav`!]

Well I have managed to get it working now.

<h2>[!GetField?&parent=`[[UltimateParent? &topLevel=`1`]]`&parentLevel=`1` &field=`pagetitle`!]</h2>

So I am happy enough.
