Hi Arulkumar

If I understand you question correct you want to display the newitems that are in the archived folders too. You could use the Descendants() axe, by using the Descendants() returns either all pages (children, grandchildren and so on) below a given page in the content tree, or all pages above the current page, and the page itself.

So try something like this:

@using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media;
@using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
@using System.Globalization
@using System.Text
@using System.Text.RegularExpressions
@using Umbraco.Core.Logging
@using Umbraco.Web.Models
@using Umbraco.Web;

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{var newsItems = CurrentPage.Descendants("NewsItem").Where("Visible").OrderBy("news_dateposted desc"); }

@foreach (var item in newsItems){
   <article class="news">
      <div class="row">
           <div class="small-12 columns">
              <h3><a href="@item.Url">@item.news_header</a></h3>
                <p>
                 @item.news_dateposted.ToString("dd/MM/yy") | @item.news_postedby | <span class="green"><strong>London</strong></span>
             </p>

          </div>

            <div class="small-12 medium-6 large-4 news-image columns">
              <figure>
                    <a href="@item.Url"><img class="shadow" src="@item.newsImageRectangle" width="244px" >
                    </a>
                </figure>
           </div>

            <div class="small-12 medium-6 large-8 columns post-text">
               <div class="small-12 columns"><p>@item.news_shortpost</p><a class="button" href="@item.Url">READ MORE</a></div>
               <figure>
                    <a href="#" title="Post to X?"><img src="/images/news/social-icons.png" alt="Social Icons"></a>
             </figure>        
           </div>            

        </div>

    </article>
}

You can find the documentation for the available axes in razor here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/templating/macros/razor/using-razor-axes

Hope this helps

But when i change the code to CurrentPage.Descendants("NewsItem") , it doesnt pick up any news item

Not even the one that's in the news folder :(

Hi Arulkumar,

Okay, you could try use the pre-defined code snippet called List Descendants From Currentpage, as a starting ponit. and then added your markup, so it match your case.

The snippet for List Descendants From Currentpage, looks like this.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@* Ensure that the Current Page has children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@
@if (CurrentPage.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
{
    @* Get the first page in the children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@
    var naviLevel = CurrentPage.Children.Where("Visible").First().Level;
    
    @* Add in level for a CSS hook *@
    <ul class="level-@naviLevel">            
        @* For each child page under the root node, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@
        @foreach (var childPage in CurrentPage.Children.Where("Visible"))
        {
            <li>
                <a href="@childPage.Url">@childPage.Name</a>

                @* if the current page has any children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@
                @if (childPage.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
                {                    
                    @* Call our helper to display the children *@
                    @childPages(childPage.Children)
                }
            </li>
        }
    </ul>
}

@helper childPages(dynamic pages)
    {
    @* Ensure that we have a collection of pages *@
    if (pages.Any())
    {
        @* Get the first page in pages and get the level *@
        var naviLevel = pages.First().Level;
        
        @* Add in level for a CSS hook *@
        <ul class="level-@(naviLevel)">
            @foreach (var page in pages.Where("Visible"))
            {
                <li>
                    <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
                    
                    @* if the current page has any children, where the property umbracoNaviHide is not True *@
                    @if (page.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
                    {                        
                        @* Call our helper to display the children *@
                        @childPages(page.Children)
                    }
                </li>
            }
        </ul>
    }
}

Hope this can help you.
