How to determine what doctype you're on

Umb7.2.1

If you have a base page that needs to programatically set a div container around the @RenderBody() section if it's not the home page, how do you determine the docType of the page you're displaying? There's nothing sensible coming up in intellisense and I can't find anything useful on line or in the Umbraco documentation.

Thnx

Craig

Hi Craig

If you're using the dynamic version then you should be able to use this
```
@if(currentPageNode.DocumentTypeAlias == "YourDocTypeAlias"){
  <div class="special-div">
     @RenderBody()
   </div>
} else{
     @RenderBody()
}
```
Does this work for you?

This is a surprise I deleted this thread 5 mins after I posted it.

I try not to use dynamics if poss. I sorted it with:-
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    @* To control wrapping main content in container tags if not home page *@
    bool showContainer = false;
    if(Model.Content.DocumentTypeAlias == "HomePage"){
        showContainer = true;
    }
}
```
As it was the base tempate, it didn't have the @inherits line in it, which was why intellisense wasn't working.

What's now more interesting is why this thread didn't get deleted.

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Craig

That's really weird - Not sure why the post did not delete properly then but good to see you found a solution when using strongly typed :)
