Getting Parent Page Title in Modx Evolution

I spent alomst 3 hours figuring out how to get parent's title of a document in Modx Evolution without doing much hack and writing snippets. I surf the internet for so long not until I almost gave up that I got an article that helped out. This is the link http://cipalabs.com/modx/articles/get-the-parent to the article.

The article gave 11 examples of getting the parent and this gave me better insight into solving my problem.

Below is how I solved the problem eaisly.

1. Create a snippet with the name parentPageTitle

2. Copy and paste the code below into your snippet

<?php

/*getParent*/
$parent = $modx->getParent($modx->documentIdentifier,'','pagetitle');
return $parent['pagetitle'];
