What is the best/simpliest method if you want to retrieve a pageproperty from a parent page (without specifying page id)? Thankful for help!

Hi,

We are having an extension method to fetch a parent:

        public static PageData GetParent(this PageData page)
        {
DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(page.ParentLink);
        }

(This is for EPi 6, for EPi 7, it's slightly different)

Perhaps I misunderstood you, let me know if this is not what you are looking for.

Okey, thank you! I found the same solution (without method) a while ago:

PageData oPage = null;

oPage = DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(CurrentPage.ParentLink);

or a more secure one:

PageData oPage = null;

if (CurrentPage.ParentLink != EPiServer.Core.PageReference.EmptyReference)
{
oPage = DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(CurrentPage.ParentLink);
}

For v7:

var contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
var page = contentRepository.Get<PageData>(CurrentPage.ParentLink);
