taxonomy:get_node
Introduced in Taxonomy v2.1, this tag returns information about a single node, and optionally it's parent
{exp:taxonomy:get_node tree_id="1" key="entry_id" val="{entry_id}"}
<p>This node is {node_level} levels deep!</p>
{/exp:taxonomy:get_node}
Tag Parameters
tree_id=
tree_id="1"
The id of the tree which contains the node want to fetch. This is a required parameter.
key=
key="entry_id"
The key value which you'd like to use to select the node. This is a required parameter.
val=
val="entry_id"
The value of the above key which you'd like use to to select the node. This is a required parameter.
var_prefix=
var_prefix="tx_"
Prefix variables to avoid conflicts with other tag variables
include_parent=
include_parent="yes"
Makes an additional set of variables available which return data about the parent node as well as the current node. (In addition to the variables below, you'll get another duplicate set which are available with a parent_ prefix that return data about the node's parent.)

blog The template group name associated with this node |
{node_is_site_default} |
y returns y if the template group associated with this node is the site default |
{node_level} |
2 returns the depth of this node (0 is root) |
{node_level+1} |
3 returns the depth of this node + 1 |
{node_level+2} |
4 returns the depth of this node + 2 |
{node_level-1} |
1 returns the depth of this node - 1 |
{node_level-2} |
0 returns the depth of this node - 2 |
{node_has_children} |
yes returns 'yes' if the node has children |

Examples
Setting the active_branch_start_level parameter on a taxonomy:nav tag dynamically by using the current node's parent's depth
{exp:taxonomy:get_node
tree_id="1"
key="entry_id"
val="{entry_id}"
var_prefix="tx_"
include_parent="yes"
}
<fieldset>
<legend>Node information</legend>
<p>This node is {tx_node_level} levels deep.</p>
<p>The parent node is {tx_parent_node_level} levels deep. </p>
<p>The url to the parent is {exp:taxonomy:node_url entry_id="{tx_parent_node_entry_id}" tree_id="1"}</p>
{exp:taxonomy:nav
tree_id="1"
entry_id="{entry_id}"
active_branch_start_level="{tx_parent_node_level}"
display_root="no"
