Is it possible to fetch the name of a parent folder?

$module_result.content_info.parent_node_id will gives you the parent node id

I did this just today, does anyone have some ideas on how I could improve this solution?

The approach I took was to call a second fetch to get the current item's parent's name.

Abbreviated:
{set parent_id=$cnews.parent_node_id}
{set parent=fetch('content','node', hash('node_id', $parent_id , limit, 1 , sort_by, array(array(published, false() )) )) }
{set news_category=$parent.name}
New Objects: <br />
<span style="font-size: 11px;">
  {set news_id=344}
  {set news_limit=4}

  {let recent=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, $news_id, limit, $news_limit, 'class_filter_type', 'include', 'class_filter_array', array( 'article' ) , sort_by, array(array(published, false() )))) }
  {section show=$recent|count|gt(0)}
    {section var=cnews loop=$recent}
      {set news_title=$cnews.name}
      {set news_intro=$cnews.data_map.intro.data_text}
      {set news_date_formated=$cnews.object.current.created |datetime( 'custom', '%m/%d/%Y @ %h:%i' )}

      {set parent_id=$cnews.parent_node_id}
      {set parent=fetch('content','node', hash('node_id', $parent_id , limit, 1 , sort_by, array(array(published, false() ) ) )) }
      {set news_category=$parent.name}
      <div style="padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 8px;"><span><a href="{$cnews.url_alias}" style="color:#004A84;">{$news_title|shorten(348)}</a></span><div align="right"><span style="font-style: italic;">Added to Category: {$news_category}<br /><span style="font-size: 10px; color: grey;">Released: {$news_date_formated}</span></div></div>
    {/section}
  {/section}
 {/let}
</span>

Strangely {$node.parent.name} work on my page, I did not think that $node worked in pagelayout overrides!

Jack, don't use it in pagelayout... it works as long as ViewCaching is disabled. Once enabled, you'll run into baaaad surprises :)

Use $module_result.content_info.node_id to fetch what you need (for instance) but don't use $node as is.

To knowledgeable people: is it right to use .parent and .children for nodes once fetched ? With those, as far as I can see, you can theorically browse the entire structure tree in one go... like

{$node.parent.parent.parent.children[0].children[1]...

What's the cost of that ?

There was a bug in 3.5 so when I upgraded to 3.6 I kept the bug.
