Setting ultimate parent to output a pagetitle when using Ditto

Hi,

I would like to know if what I’m trying to do is logical and if it is, how to achieve it :

I have a news page managed by Ditto, that summarizes news coming from 10 different folder’s subfolders, organized this way (all folders are at the root of the site) :

city1
>news folder
>>post 1
>>post 2
>>post ...

city2
>news folder
>>post 1
>>...

city...

I want the name of each city folder, its page title, to show automatically on the top of each post info in the Ditto listing. I have tried to use the ultimate parent snippet in the chunk used to style Ditto, but I can only get the ultimate parent page’s id and not the page title.

What to do ?!
Thanks.

If you have id of the ultimate parent, you can use GetField snippet (http://modxcms.com/getField-667.html) to fetch the pagetitle field.

Thanks I’m going to check that.

Struggling a little bit... Do you mean I should use GetField in addition to the ultimateParent snippet ? By reading the directions it seems that GetField can do that by itself.
It does output a page title though.

Yeah, you are right, you don’t need UlimateParent. Should just work like this: [[GetField? &field=`pagetitle` &parent=`1`]]

Hourrah ! Done it. The missing bit was setting the proper docid. It works with :
[[GetField? &docid=`[+id+]`&parent=`1`]].
Thanks a lot.
