Hi Vinicius

Are you trying to read the value of a parameter that has been set on your macro ?

If so you can read the value of a parameter set on a macro in razor like so:

var parameterValue = Model.GetParameterValue

(setting isParameterEditor allows you to use the property editor as a macro parameter type)

or

Are you just trying to read the value of a property on the document type as you loop through a selection of nodes ? (and the property is a custom editor that stores complex values as Json ?)

In this case (isParameterEditor is irrelevant), you would need to first retrieve the value of the property, and then deserialise the Json to be able to access the values saved on the angular model.

eg I think something like this would work:

var JsonPropertyData = item.propertyAlias; dynamic propertyData = Json.Decode(jsonPropertyData);

@propertyData.NameOfTheModelOne

Hi Vinicius

Ok, then the first thing to confirm is currently what is the value of:

@item.propertyAlias

for your custom property when you loop through

is it a JSON object ?

When you added your custom property to your document type, what alias did you give it ?

and what do you see if you just write the property out ?

So for example in the Fanoe Starter kit the blog overview template loops through each blog post to give a teaser for each post:

 @foreach (var post in CurrentPage.Children)
                {
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                        <div class="content equal">
                            <a href="@post.Url">
                                <div class="date">@post.CreateDate.ToLongDateString()</div>
                                <h2>@post.Name</h2>
                                @post.content
                                <p>@Umbraco.Truncate(post.Introduction, 240, true)</p>
                            </a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                }

However the property 'content' is one I've added here under the h2 element, it's a grid property and so it's value is stored as Json

By writing it out here in the template, I can see what value has been stored in Umbraco for the property:

and it comes out a bit like this:

eg the bits in red - lots of Json !!!

So now if we try the Json.Decode trick

 @foreach (var post in CurrentPage.Children)
                {
                    dynamic jsonContent = Json.Decode(post.content.ToString());
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                        <div class="content equal">
                            <a href="@post.Url">
                                <div class="date">@post.CreateDate.ToLongDateString()</div>
                                <h2>@post.Name</h2>
                                @jsonContent.name
                                <p>@Umbraco.Truncate(post.Introduction, 240, true)</p>
                            </a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                }

you can see I've created a dynamic variable called 'jsonContent' and used Json.Decode to parse the blob of Json for the content property into a dynamic object.

now instead of writing out the blog of json with @post.content, I can instead use @jsonContent.name or write out any of the properties in the json blog using the dynamic syntax, with the result...

is working on a reply...
