Content context or parent in new node

Hi all,

I am in need of a content context in my nupicker datatype to be passed to the macroviewpage.

I have added contextId via parameters but that's only set in an existing node.

Is there any way to see the parentid for a new node? Or is it just not possible?

Thanks! Erik

well of course in the case of a MacroViewPartial being called from nuPickers, there's a always a request object :)

This does the job for me:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    var contextContent = Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.MacroParameters["contextId"]);

    if (Model.MacroParameters["contextId"] == null)
    {
        if (Request.QueryString["parentId"] != null)
        {
            var parentContent = Umbraco.TypedContent(Request.QueryString["parentId"]);
            if (parentContent != null)
            {
                contextContent = parentContent;
            }
        }
    }
}
