Changing Link Text Based on the Current Parent Section
A small but useful navigation pattern for section-aware text in Evolution CMS templates.
Sometimes a template needs to show different link text depending on which top-level section the current page belongs to. That is not really a content problem. It is a tree-awareness problem.
Typical pattern
[[UltimateParent:is=`2`:then=`Text for section 2`]]
[[UltimateParent:is=`5`:then=`Text for section 5`]]This lets one template behave differently depending on the current branch of the resource tree.
Why it is useful
Section-aware labels help the interface feel more specific without duplicating whole templates. As long as the tree structure is stable, using the top-level parent as a routing signal is a practical Evolution CMS pattern.
