Obtaining information from child of orphan

zerohootsoliver

The node structure for my project uses a menu_controller component. I want to be able to access this node so I can use this as a component of the parent node. It will store the information of which its parent node is added to as a child. The problem is children of the parent node appear to be null until it is added as a child.

How can I change my code or approach to make this work.

Best regards, Oliver

The quick and dirty way is to add it as a child of root node and then remove it, when the node is ready to be added as a child.
