Parent Node ID

How do I get the node ID of the parent node of the current node?

I want to achieve the following:
In a full view template of an article, I want to show "related articles", ie. articles about the same topic. The "topic" is the parent node of the articles, so I want a list of all children for the parent node of the current node (current article).

fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,[...insert statement here...]))

Really nice solution.
But i meet another strange effect.
Yes, I can see $node.node_id, $node.parent_node_id etc... - BUT ! only first time , before cache wasn't created.
I have to clean cache for correct reflection and on second and next times i have nothing till the cache will be cleaned again .
(winXP, ProcessCaching=disabled)
Did you have the same thing ?

Am seeing this now that I have turned on caching. It seems that the $node variable is not availaiable to the cached page.

Did you find a solution to this?

Cheers

You can use the {$module_result.node_id} for fetch functions. This will also work on cached pages.
