Get Parent page title based on subpage pagePath or pageID

Thanks Drew. It is the parent page Title I need but the parentPage ID is not present in the sub page content array? How can I get the parent page ID when I am pulling in subpage content via ajax?

Hi Drew I was hoping you'd say that however I'm not getting the parent ID -

$subpageContent = perch_content_custom('Overlay Subpage', [
        'page' => $thepath,
        'template'   => 'overlay_subpage.html',
        'skip-template' => true,
        'return-html' => false,
    ]);

Gives me var_dump -

array (size=1)
  0 => 
    array (size=21)
      '_id' => string '55' (length=2)
      'heading' => string 'text here' (length=13)
      '_title' => string 'text here' (length=13)
      'slug' => string 'text here' (length=13)
      'page-image' => string 'text here' (length=41)
      'alt' => string 'text here' (length=8)
      'panel-text' => string 'text here' (length=49)
      'subhead' => string 'text here' (length=49)
      'TextLeft' => string 'text here' (length=452)
      'TextRight' => string 'text here'... (length=768)
      'Highlight' => string 'text here' (length=95)
      'stat-header-left' => string 'text here' (length=11)
      'stat-text-left' => string 'text here' (length=16)
      'stat-header-right' => string 'text here' (length=12)
      'stat-text-right' => string 'text here' (length=17)
      'footer-text' => string 'text here' (length=142)
      'footer-link' => string 'text here' (length=31)
      'footer-btn' => string 'text here' (length=25)
      '_page' => string 'text here' (length=31)
      '_pageID' => string '30' (length=2)
      '_sortvalue' => string '1000' (length=4)

Am I missing something here? I'm not getting the parentID is this array.

cheers Keith

Hi Drew I assume I'm not getting the parentID as I'm only getting content not current page details?

Subpage content is loaded by ajax into overlay after the actual page is loaded. Next and Prev links then run ajax call to get next or previous subpage which is loaded into existing overlay without changing the parent web page. Hope that makes some sense!

Would I therefore need to use PHP to run connect to perch db and run custom mysql query eg. something like select pageParentID where pageID = 123

Or is there a perch function that would return the pageParentID where pageID = 123

Thanks

Keith

Ah ok I'll take a look at that. Thanks

Ok I've nearly got it but...

This returns an array with page details including pageParentID which is good.

$page = perch_pages_navigation(array(
        'from-path' => $thepath,
        'levels'    => 1,
        'include-parent'       => true,
        'skip-template'        => true,
    ));

This outputs to the screen the pageParentTitle

perch_page_attribute('pageTitle', [
        '_id' => $page[0]['pageParentID'],
        ]);

I can't seem to create a variable $theParentTitle so I can echo it out in page -

I would like to do something like

$theParentTitle = perch_page_attribute('pageTitle', [
        '_id' => $page[0]['pageParentID'],
        'skip-template'        => true,
        ]);

Then

echo $theParentTitle;

Hope that makes some sense.

Thanks Duncan that's got it. Keith
