Hi all,

I'm on MODx Revo 2.2 and I'm sure I've done this before, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it again!

I have a resource tree as follows:

Top Level
-- Sub Level
---- Sub-Sub Level

On the 'sub-sub level' page, I just need to pull in the title of the 'sub level' page. No links, nothing fancy, just the same of the page for text purposes.

Does anyone know how I can achieve this? All the modules I keep finding seem to just pull in the ID of the resource and not the page title.

Kind regards,
Lewis

Use the getResourceField snippet:

[[getResourceField? &id=`[[*parent]]`]]

By default it returns the pagetitle; use the &field property to get a different field value.

Would this be an option?

[[getResourceField? &id=`[[*parent]]` &field=`pagetitle`]]

Ah, Susan was already giving the correct answer

I believe you can also do something like this to load the parent page as an object

$resource =& $modx->resource; //load the current resource
$parent = $resource->getOne('Parent');//load the resource's parent
$parentTitle = $parent->get('pagetitle');//retrieves the parent object's page title field
