Answered Conditional statement for all child pages from certain parent

I'm using an output filter to echo out scripts on certain pages. Like if a user is in the home page, then output this script. I'm using a script like this:

[[*id:is=`1`:then=`[[$homeSript]]`]]

Now I want to output a script on all of the child pages of a certain parent. For example I have a gallery landing page and a bunch of gallery items. How can I trigger those gallery item to display certain scripts.

Literally, based on the output filter above, I would think that it's like this:

[[*parent-id:is=`2`:then=`[[$gallerySript]]`]]

But I'm not sure if that would work.

the placeholder for the parent-id is [[*parent]]

so, you could try:



but this does process the content of chunk galleryScript in any case and its better, to use this syntax and to have allways the else with conditional output-filters:



this does process the content of the galleryScript - chunk only, when the condition returns true.

I realized now that it is in another parent folder. My folder structure goes something like this:

Gallery(2)
- Cat1(20)
- Gallery1 for Cat1
- Gallery2 for Cat1
- Gallery3 for Cat1
- Cat2 (21)
- Gallery1 for Cat2
- etc(..)

So in a way, the page that I really want to put the scripts into is under Cat1, Cat2, Cat3, etc... But they are all under Gallery. When I tried your script, it didn't work for me.

Is there a script where it can detect the ultimate parent of a page?

Oh. I had to install it first. Ok then. I think this will solve the problem.

Thanks for helping mate!
