Hi,

Here is my folder structure:

Top Level
Sub Level
Sub Sub Level
Sub Level

Top Level
Sub Level
Sub Sub Level
Sub Sub Level
Sub Sub Level
Sub Sub Sub Level
Sub Sub Sub Level
Sub Level

So currently i can grab the parent ID for ’Top Level’ with the following code:

$id = $modx->documentIdentifier;
$pid = $modx->getParent($id,1,"id");

while ($pid['id'] != 0) {
    $id = $pid['id'];
    $pid = $modx->getParent($id,1,"id");
}

And it will be true for all sub levels under.

How do i grab the ’Sub Level’ id for all levels under ? What about ’Sub Sub Level’ ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Aleks

First better use the UltimateParent snippet to get the parent ID, thoroughly tested and 2.0beta is even bundled with MODx wink

How can use the UltimateParent within another snippet?

[[UltimateParent? &id=`45` &top=`6`]]

As far as the getChild, i actually need the opposite

get the parent .. I think UltimateParent should work for me, just need to figure out how to call it within another snippet.

Thanks

Oops sorry I misread your question (previous post edited) !

The current limitations of the parser force you to call it cached in an uncached snippet, for example...

[!Ditto? &parents=`[[UltimateParent? &id=`45` &top=`6`]]`!]

This is the full code that i use now:

<?php
$id = $modx->documentIdentifier;
$pid = $modx->getParent($id,1,"id");

while ($pid['id'] != 0) {
    $id = $pid['id'];
    $pid = $modx->getParent($id,1,"id");
}

switch ($id) {
case "55" : $zoneID = "{{contest_winners}}";  break; //contests
default: $zoneID = "[[BLOGS_right]]";  break;
}

echo $zoneID;
?>

so for all documents inside id 55 i get {{contest_winners}} chunk, for all others, some other snippet.

this is there i need the UltimateParent to give me SubParents under id 55

seems easy but i’m totally lost.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing, this could be handy

If I understood what you want to do correcty, this can also be achieved with PHx :

[tt][+phx:if=`[[UltimateParent? &id=`[*id]` &topLevel=`1`]] `:is=`55`:then=`{{contest_winners}}`:else=`whatever you need here`+][/tt]

I used this kind of logic recently, works like a charm.

nice .. i’ll try now

here is a modified version that works for all levels:

<?php
$id = $modx->documentIdentifier;
$pid = $modx->getParent($id,1,"id");

while ($pid['id'] != 0) {
    $id = $pid['id'];
    $pid = $modx->getParent($id,1,"id");
}

$top = $id;
$cid = $modx->documentIdentifier;
$mid = $modx->getParent($cid,1,'id');

while ($mid['id'] != $top && $mid['id'] != 0) {
    $cid = $mid['id'];
    $mid = $modx->getParent($cid,1,'id');
}

switch ($id) {
case "55" : $zoneID = "{{contest_winners}}";  break; //contests
default: $zoneID = "[[BLOGS_right]]";  break;
}

switch ($cid) {
case "68" : $zoneID = "video pages";  break; //contests
default: $zoneID = "[[BLOGS_right]]";  break;
}

echo $zoneID;
?>

would you know how to put several if statements in it ?
just create extra calls ?


[+phx:if=`[[UltimateParent? &id=`[*id*]` &topLevel=`1`]] `:is=`55`:then=`{{contest_winners}}`:else=`whatever you need here`+]

[+phx:if=`[[UltimateParent? &id=`[*id*]` &topLevel=`1`]] `:is=`56`:then=`{{contest_winners}}`:else=`whatever you need here`+]

Thanks !

yo ... the PHx breaks the pagination on Ditto calls ...

took me a while to figure out where my pages went

No need, just use the [tt]or[/tt] operator (see the wiki about this)

[+phx:if=`[[UltimateParent? &id=`[*id*]` &topLevel=`1`]] `:is=`55`:or:is=`56`:then=`{{contest_winners}}`:else=`whatever you need here`+]

Nice uh ?
