quick render tag question

[Dmitry Terner]

In my navigation template I want to grab the content of an element that is on the page I though it should work like this:

<%!! Context:CurrentIndex.Elements.GetElement(stf_navTitle).GetHtml() !!%>

but it doesn't. Just to be sure I added this:

<%!! Context:CurrentMasterPage.Elements.GetElement(stf_navTitle).GetHtml() !!%>

and that works for the current page but not the pages rendered by navigation manager .

any ideas on what I am doing wrong?


Ps here is the entire navigation template, instead of headlien I want to use a custom element:

            <li class="overlay">
                    <a href="<%!! Context:CurrentIndex.GetUrl() !!%>"><%!! Context:CurrentIndex.Elements.GetElement(stf_navTitle).GetHtml() !!%></a>
                    <reddot:cms>
                       <if>
                        <query valuea="Context:CurrentIndex.HasChildren()" operator="==" valueb="Bool:True">
                          <htmltext>
                            <ul>
                                <navigation:nextlevel>
                            </ul>
                          </htmltext>
                        </query>
                     </if>
                    </reddot:cms>
                 </li>




Thanks,

Try

<li class="overlay">
<a href="<%!! Context:CurrentIndex.GetUrl() !!%>"><%!! Context:CurrentPage.Elements.GetElement(stf_navTitle).Value !!%></a>

Perfect. Thank You.

Oops, I guess I am too late to the party.

Best practice: CurrentIndex.Page instead of CurrentPage
