    Umbraco 5.1b - Content Picker Trouble

    API Questions

    Hi all,

    Im using 5.1 Beta after previously creating a site in Umbraco using 4.7 (site has been live 6 months+ without any problems :D)

    Now my problem and question.

     

    I have a Document Template called "Root Site Layout Template" with a property on called "Top Tab URL" (name), "topTabURL" (alias) of type "Content Picker".

     

    Now within the Layout Template I'm trying to access using Umbraco.Field("topTabURL") but it's returning "content$empty_root$$_p__nhibernate$_v__guid$_482fc4095b6d4974b60aa02501602fdd".

     

    I'm trying to return a URL of the selected Tree Item from the Content Picker. 

     

    Can anybody help please.

    Thanks

    Gareth

    I got this sorted so I'll post my code..

    ViewBag.TopTabButtonURL = Umbraco.Field("topTabURL", recursive: true);

     

    var topTabContentPage = Umbraco.GetDynamicContentById(ViewBag.TopTabButtonURL.ToString());
    var topTabContentPageUrl = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(topTabContentPage.Url) ? topTabContentPage.Url : "#";

     

    Then use:

    @topTabContentPageUrl

     

    Hope this helps.

    Gareth

    Hi Gareth,

    Thanks, thats what I was thinking of doing, but playing around a bit more I ended up doing it this way.

    @Umbraco.GetUrl(DynamicModel.headerLink)

    But not sure if there is any better way of doing it as not seen anything in the Wiki or other way of doing it.

    Tom
