    Getting name of a node from ParentID in an HTML template

    Stupid question:

     

    How do I get the name of a node from ParentID in an HTML template?

    Gary,

     

    You can get the name of parent node using the inline xslt syntax 

    <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="parentID" xslt="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById({0})/@nodeName" />

    (Code is untested, so may need a tweak)

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Dirk,

    I need to put this in a plain HTML template in Umbraco. I did that and it doesn't display anything.

    Dirk,

    I need to put this in a plain ole HTML template in Umbraco. I did that and it doesn't display anything. No errors either.

    <span><umbraco:Item runat="server" field="parentID" xslt="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById({1052})/@nodeName" /> </span>

    None of the runat = "server" syntax works in my templates. Is there something I need to add to my pages to use this?

    Thanks,

    GaryB

    Dirk solution is correct. Please note {0} instead of {1052}

    <umbraco:Item ID="Item1" runat="server" field="parentID" xslt="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById({0})/@nodeName" ></umbraco:Item>
