Populating parent fields into a visualforce page

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting some of the parent record information to display on my visualforce page. I have a custom controller extension that is returning the values when I open the logs. However, the fields do not populate on the Visualforce page.

Parent Obejct - Opportunity
Child Object - Pursuit Survey

I'm trying to get StageName from opportunity to show on the custom visualforce page.

  
public with sharing class SurveyParentIDExt{
    public Pursuit_Survey__c PursuitChild{get;set;}
    public Opportunity ParentOpp{get;set;}
    
    public SurveyParentIDExt(ApexPages.StandardController controller){
        PursuitChild=(Pursuit_Survey__c)controller.getRecord();
        String oppid = (PursuitChild.Opportunity__c);
        String parentID = System.currentPagereference().getParameters().get('parentid');
        if (parentID != null){
            PursuitChild.Opportunity__c=parentid;  
        }     
        Opportunity ParentOpp = [SELECt name, id, stagename, priority__c from Opportunity where id =: parentid];
    system.debug(PursuitChild);
    system.debug(PursuitChild.Opportunity__c); 
    system.debug(ParentOpp);
    }

When I look for the debug of ParentOpp, it does return all of the fields and values as expected:
  
14:21:18:203 USER_DEBUG [15]|DEBUG|Opportunity:{Name=Pursuit Survey Process, Id=006e000000An8XJAAZ, StageName=Pursuing, Priority__c=Target, RecordTypeId=012i00000002n45AAA}

When I try and call the StageName in my visualforce page with:  
Opportunity Stage: <apex:outputfield value="{!ParentOpp.StageName}" />

Nothing is rendered. It remains a blank space (and I'll write your name....to all the Taylor fans).

Thanks so much for any help!

Hi Richard,

Please use the below code :
  
public with sharing class SurveyParentIDExt{
    public Pursuit_Survey__c PursuitChild{get;set;}
    public Opportunity ParentOpp{get;set;}
    
    public SurveyParentIDExt(ApexPages.StandardController controller){
        PursuitChild=(Pursuit_Survey__c)controller.getRecord();
        String oppid = (PursuitChild.Opportunity__c);
        String parentID = System.currentPagereference().getParameters().get('parentid');
        if (parentID != null){
            PursuitChild.Opportunity__c=parentid;  
        }     
         ParentOpp = [SELECt name, id, stagename, priority__c from Opportunity where id =: parentid];
    system.debug(PursuitChild);
    system.debug(PursuitChild.Opportunity__c); 
    system.debug(ParentOpp);</b>
    }

I hope it will work for you. Let me know if issue will not resolve.

Thanks,
Vishal

Vishal,

Thanks so much! That did the trick. 

I ran into a couple of issues where I had placed the statement, so I moved it into the If statement and included an else assignment. Here's the final code I'm using for future reference. 

  
public with sharing class SurveyParentIDExt{
    public Pursuit_Survey__c PursuitChild{get;set;}
    public Opportunity ParentOpp{get;set;}
    
    public SurveyParentIDExt(ApexPages.StandardController controller){
        PursuitChild=(Pursuit_Survey__c)controller.getRecord();
        String oppid = (PursuitChild.Opportunity__c);
        String parentID = System.currentPagereference().getParameters().get('parentid');
        if (parentID != null){
            PursuitChild.Opportunity__c=parentid;  
            ParentOpp = [SELECt name, id, stagename, priority__c from Opportunity where id =: parentid];
            
        }   else{
            parentOpp = [SELECT Name, ID, StageName, Priority__c from Opportunity where id =: PursuitChild.Opportunity__c];
            
        }
       // Opportunity ParentOpp = [SELECt name, id, stagename, priority__c from Opportunity where id =: parentid];
    system.debug(PursuitChild);
    system.debug(PursuitChild.Opportunity__c); 
    system.debug(ParentOpp);
  //  system.debug(ParentOpp.Priority__c);
    }
