Get top level parent title rather than direct parent

Is it possible to get the title of a top level parent rather than a page's direct parent? Eg...

/courses/16-18/art-and-design

...would it be possible to get the page title from Courses rather than 16-18? At the minute I'm using perch_pages_parent_page for Art and Design but pageTitle returns 16-18.

Many thanks

What does this output?

perch_pages_navigation(array(
    'from-path' => '*',
    'from-level' => 1,
    'levels' => 1,
));

(Apologies for the late reply - busy weekend!) The structure of the site is:

Courses
  - 16-18 Courses
    -- Art and Design
  - Higher Education

When using the above on the art and design page this gets returned:

  • 16-18 Courses
  • Higher Education

Still doesn't seem to include the root parent unfortunately

Ah I've figured it out, I can just use perch_pages_breadcrumbs and get pageTitle from the first item in the array. Guess the weekend off helped in the end, haha

Thanks Drew
