Brendan Pike	Thursday 28 October 2004 2:40:02 am How can I find the grandparent of a users usergroup? I did find the below article but I wasn't able to convert it for my need. Any help much appreciated. http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/how_to_find_the_parent_and_grandparent_of_an_object www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

The following code snippet should give you the grandparent: {$node.parent.parent} If you want the object, it's similar to accessing the object of the current node {let grandparent=$node.parent.parent} {$grandparent.object\|attribute(show)} {/let} hth Hans http://blog.hansmelis.be

Any other ideas? www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.
Hans Melis	Thursday 28 October 2004 8:38:33 am Aha, you want it directly for a user. You need an additional fetch then. {let parentNode=fetch('content','node',hash('node_id',$current_user.contentobject.main_parent_node_id)) grandparent=$parentNode.parent} {$grandparent.name\|wash} {/let} Once you have a node, it's similar to what I wrote in my first reply. If you have an object (like $current_user.contentobject), then you need to find a node first. Hans http://blog.hansmelis.be
Brendan Pike	Thursday 28 October 2004 9:03:27 am Nope your code still didn't work for me :( Just got the following errors, Unknown template variable 'parentNode' in namespace '' Unknown template variable 'grandparent' in namespace '' The mystery continues www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.
Hans Melis	Thursday 28 October 2004 9:07:48 am You're using a namespace then. Try using $: instead of just $ in front of the variables. Hans http://blog.hansmelis.be
Brendan Pike	Thursday 28 October 2004 9:27:17 am Yup your right, think I'd better go to bed. Works nicely now, many thanks :-) www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.
