Get a page's root parent's alias
Previous article Next articleThis User Defined Tag gets the alias of a pages very top parent. The article originates from the former CMSMS Wiki and the original author is Calguy1000.
Note: Similar functionality is provided by the CGSimpleSmarty module's {cgsimple::get_root_alias()} tag.
Create a new User Defined Tag called "get_root_page_alias" and copy the following code in it:
$hm = cmsms()->GetHierarchyManager();
$alias = \cms_utils::get_current_alias();
$stack = array();
$node = $hm->find_by_tag('alias',$alias);
while( $node && $node->get_tag('id') > 0 ) {
$stack[] = $node;
$node = $node->getParent();
}
if( count($stack) == 0 ) return;
$alias = $stack[count($stack)-1]->get_tag('alias');
echo $alias;
$alias = \cms_utils::get_current_alias();
$stack = array();
$node = $hm->find_by_tag('alias',$alias);
while( $node && $node->get_tag('id') > 0 ) {
$stack[] = $node;
$node = $node->getParent();
}
if( count($stack) == 0 ) return;
$alias = $stack[count($stack)-1]->get_tag('alias');
echo $alias;
How to use
The tag can be called using:
<p>The root parent of this page is: {get_root_page_alias}</p>
Working example
I used it in my multilingual template.

Could you please tell me how to get the page's 'menu text' instead of the 'alias' for version 2.x ?

@Rolf: Send an E-Mail to above address if you would like to get my code for multilingual search result filtering.
I figured that maybe its best if it just gets here with the rest of your stuff :)
And thanks again for this great website.

* Add parameter "alias". If alias is set, look for that alias' root page alias instead of the current's.
* Reason: I use this for a custom search template to filter out results from other languages. Might be useful in other cases, too.
*** CODE ***
$manager = cmsms()->GetHierarchyManager();
$var = isset($params['assign']) ? $params['assign'] : 'lang';
$result = "NO RESULT";
if ( isset ($params['alias']) ) {
$currentNode = $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($params['alias']);
} else {
$thisPage = $smarty->get_template_vars('content_id');
$currentNode = $manager->sureGetNodeById($thisPage);
}
while( isset($currentNode) && $currentNode->getLevel() >= 0 )
{
$currentContent =& $currentNode->getContent();
$result = $currentContent->Alias();
$currentNode =& $currentNode->getParentNode();
}
$smarty->assign($var,$result);

I used it on cmsms 1.11.4 and everything worked well.
Now I want to use this on cmsms 1.11.7 but even if I change the line 5 $result = "NO RESULT"; into $result = "en";
I still got and error :
Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in ...www/lib/classes/class.usertagoperations.inc.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 7
Do you think there's something different with the version of cmsms?
Your help is welcome.
