Is there a way to get the parent tabid in my skin? I want to modifie a skinobject in my .ascx file in order to generate the SEO menu in a certain way but I think I need to retrieve the parenttabid first in order to get it right. Should be something like this:

<dnn:SEOMENU runat="server" id="dnnSEOMENU2" Orientation="V" FriendlyURL="D" Range="<%=ParentId.OrSomeOtherVariable%>" CreateTabs="True" ShowParent="False" MenuType="id" ContType="id" ShowAdmin="False" ShowSubPages="False" />

I searched but could not find it anywhere...
Is there anybody out there with an idea??

Thanks,
Keston

Thanks John, do you know if it is also possible to retrieve the main parent id? I got quite a few levels of parents and I just want to retrieve the 'upper' parent (like Home).

Imagine you have

• tab 1
  • tab 1.1
    • tab 1.1.1
    • tab 1.1.2
  • tab 1.2
• tab 2
• tab 3

In tab 1.1.1, I want to retrieve the id of tab1....Is that possible?

Hi Keston,

I'm not sure who the developer of the skinobject is, but you can do what you are asking like this:

<%=PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabId%>
