Hi keith,

Could you try something like

@foreach (var page in Model.Children.Where("NodeTypeAlias == \"GeneralInformation\"").Where("Visible"){
    @page.Children.First().Name
}

I got This

Parser Error Message: Expected a "{" but found a "var". Block statements must be enclosed in "{" and "}". You cannot use single-statement control-flow statements in CSHTML pages. For example, the following is not allowed:

Looks like there is a missing closing ")"

@foreach (var page in Model.Children.Where("NodeTypeAlias == \"GeneralInformation\"").Where("Visible"))

Still no luck.

Compiler Error Message: CS0119: 'Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentExtensions.Children(Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent)' is a 'method', which is not valid in the given context

Hi Keith,

Have you tried something like this:

foreach(var page in Model.Children.Where("NodeTypeAlias = @0", "GeneralInformation").Where("Visible")){
    @page.Children.First().Name
}

Documentation of filtering and lots of more can be found here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/querying/DynamicNode/Collections

Hope this helps you.

Hey Mate

If i read u headline and question correct u jumped on the mvc train and what to know how to filter children based on document type. if so then all u need to do is send regular linq to u where statement instead of the "amputated" string version like so

@foreach(var child in Model.Content.Children.Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("GeneralInformation") && c.GetPropertyValue<bool>("umbNaviHideOrWhatEver")))
{
    <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a>
}

hope that helps :)

That resolved the error and actually list the General Information link. It would be nice to list the children below.

    <ul>
  @foreach(var child in Model.Content.Children.Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("GeneralInformation") && c.GetPropertyValue<bool>("umbracoNaviHide")))
{
      <li>
        <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a>
      </li>
}

</ul>

How do i get it to list the textpages below general information?

You iterate over child.Children inside your loop

<ul>
    @foreach (var child in Model.Content.Children.Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("GeneralInformation") && c.GetPropertyValue<bool>("umbracoNaviHide")))
    {
        <li>
            <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a>
            @if(child.Children.Any(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("TextPage")))
            {
                <ul>
                    @foreach(var page in child.Children.Where(p => p.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("TextPage")))
                    {
                        <li>
                            <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
                        </li>
                    }
                </ul>
            }
        </li>
    }
</ul>

That works! Thank you!!! At least on my home page. All other templates it comes up blank. I guess it cannot find the route? do you have any suggestions?

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
    Layout = null;
}

<div class="well">
<ul>
    @foreach (var child in Model.Content.Children.Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("GeneralInformation") && c.GetPropertyValue<bool>("umbracoNaviHide")))
    {
        <li>
            <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a>
            @if (child.Children.Any(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("CWS-Textpage")))
            {
                <ul>
                    @foreach (var page in child.Children.Where(p => p.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("CWS-Textpage")))
                    {
                        <li class="">
                            <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
                        </li>
                    }
                </ul>
            }
        </li>
    }
</ul>

</div>

For anybody wanting to do the same but inherit the grid layout from the parent node, this works

@for (var content = Model.Content; content != null; content = content.Parent)
{
    @content.GetGridHtml("gridLayout");
}

is working on a reply...
