pdoField Parent Resource

Revo 2.6.3

Using a Chunk that returns the SimpleSearch results row I'm trying to include the pagetitle of the (ultimate) parent of each result. Regardless of search criteria there are only 3 possible parent options (resources 2, 3, and 4) at the site root.

I've tried pdoField, UltimateParent and getResourceField but none of them return the correct (ultimate) parent of the search result.

I'm glad it worked for you.

Hey, it works! That's one hell of a "wild guess". I would not have been able to figure that one out.

Thank you very much, Bob.

Line 3 used 'id' rather than 'docId'. It's fixed above.

Sure, what was the mistake?

There was a mistake in the snippet. Can you give it another try?

Thanks Bob, as wild guesses go that was waaay better than anything I could come up with, unfortunately it didn't work.

I think I'll put this one on the backburner. It's not critical. Thank you for trying.

I don't think that would help, but I don't really understand what's happening.

Here's a wild guess at what you need.


    [[+idx]]. [[+pagetitle]]
    [[+extract]]
    Parent Pagetitle: [[!ParentPagetitle? &docId=`[[+id]]` ]]

/* ParentPagetitle snippet */

$docId = $modx->getOption('docId', $scriptProperties, '');
$output = 'Not Found';
if (!empty($docId)) {
    $uParent = $modx->runSnippet('UltimateParent', array('topLevel' =>1, 'id' => $docId));
    $parent = $modx->getObject('modResource', (int) $uParent);
    $output =  $parent->get('pagetitle');
}
return $output;

No change with uncached.

Too bad since UltimateParent and pdoField each work great under other more normal circumstances.

Ok, for the moment let's say there's no way to get it working with UltimateParent. What about this... what about creating a breadcrumb for each result (using pdoCrumbs)? Or would what just be more of the same problem?

Does calling UltimateParent uncached help?

You could have a custom snippet, but I'm not sure how you would send it the Simple Search result ID.
