Yes, that does seem to be the simplest way to achieve this.
When you say create a Section tag do you mean to do this in the same way the tutorial does with adding an author to the articlepage?

Yep exactly, using the $db and getCMSFields to add a field to the page in the CMS which you can then populate with the pages uppermost parents URLSegment

That's brilliant. Thank you so much for all your help.

You are most welcome :)

Im trying to do exactly the same.
Would be v kind if you could share your code with us?
