Metadata – Tridion 2009 – Parent Folder TCM of Retrieval Components

Component component = (Component )engine.GetObject(package.GetByName(Package.ComponentName));
Folder parent = (Folder)component.OrganizationalItem;
ItemFields folderFields = new ItemFields(parent.Metadata, parent.MetadataSchema); 

Quick question. I’m building a template building block (TBB) that retrieves metadata schema values ​​from the component’s parent folder. For example, the ones listed in this folder All components will share the same title, but have different content. Therefore, I created a pattern and attached it to the parent folder. This way, if I want to change the title of all components, all I have to do is change the folder

I have this parent folder that is hardcoded using TCM, but I need to grab it dynamically. Does anyone know how to grab the TCM of the parent folder?

Thank you for your help.

RepositoryLocalObjects have a ".OrganizationalItem" attribute, which will return the container of the object.

Things along these directions should get you started:

Component component = (Component)engine.GetObject(package.GetByName(Package.ComponentName ));
Folder parent = (Folder)component.OrganizationalItem;
ItemFields folderFields = new ItemFields(parent.Metadata, parent.MetadataSchema);
