Hi Brendan,

The article you linked to takes a rather large detour to find the grandparent of a node. 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

Thanks Hans
Doesn't work for me though, I'm inside the edit_attribute.tpl This works for me

group_id=$current_user.contentobject.main_parent_node_id

But this is only the parent not grandparent of course. Any other ideas?

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.

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

You're using a namespace then. Try using $: instead of just $ in front of the variables.

Yup your right, think I'd better go to bed.

Works nicely now, many thanks :-)
