How do I fetch the name of the enveloping document container? (for a template)

I know I can use [*pagetitle*] to grab the name of the current page.

But how do I output the name of the container that envelops the current page?
My site is organized by "projects" so I want to put the name of the project at the top of each sub page.

For example: Container (and project) Name = "Build a Workbench For Your Garage"
Inside that container is 4 subpages: 1.) Bill of Materials, 2.) Tools You’ll Need, 3.) Instructions, 4.) Finished Pics

On each of the subpages, I want the words "Build a Workbench For Your Garage" to appear.
How do I get that title without hardcoding it?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Ned

Hi,

The getField Snippet is the tool to use in your case.
You will find it in the repository.

:-)

Cool. I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Brilliant! It seems like it was made for just this application.
Now I can ditch the custom TV which required the editor to enter the parent project name for every new page.

The hardest part was figuring out how to download getField - which wasn’t so hard.

For fellow newbs:
See Repository: http://www.modxcms.com/resources.html
Get Field: http://www.modxcms.com/getField-1.2-0.html
The Document Object: http://modxcms.com/the-document-object.html

Add getField as a snippet.
Call it like this, (adjust to taste)...
[!getField? &parent=`1` &parentLevel=`1`!]
