Not looked at your full code but I can see a problem in this line:
var productsOfSameType = Model.Up().Descendants("product").Where("productType == " + @Model.productType);
First of all you don't need the @ in front of Model (you are already in "code mode"). Secondly, if Model.productType is a string you need to enclsoe the value in double quotes (like you would if you were placing static text). So something like this:
var productsOfSameType = Model.Up().Descendants("product").Where("productType == \"" + @Model.productType + "\"");
or
var productsOfSameType = Model.Up().Descendants("product").Where(String.Format("productType == \"{0}\"", @Model.productType));
Razor Nodes not contained in list
Hi i was just wondering how you'd formulate the query for a list of nodes that doesn't already appear in another list..
in linq it'd be something like
var filteredList = someQuery.Where(item => !someExistingList.Any(l => l.ID == item.ID));
how would I do the same?
I have the following so far:
@{
int recommendedProductsCount = 5;
dynamic recommendedProducts = new List<dynamic>();
var productsOfSameType = Model.Up().Children.Where("nodeTypeAlias == \"product\"").Where("productType == " + @Model.productType);
if(productsOfSameType != null && productsOfSameType.Items.Count > 0)
{
foreach(var item in productsOfSameType)
{
recommendedProdcts.Add(item);
recommendedProductsCount--;
if(recommendedProducts.Count == 2)
{
break;
}
}
}
var remainingProductsInCollection = Model.Up().Children.Where(c => !recommendedProducts.Any(p => p.productID == c.productID));
Turns out I can't do this for some reason?
var productsOfSameType = Model.Up().Descendants("product").Where("productType == " + @Model.productType);
apparently I don't have access to where at that point? It is finding the private method for Where in
DynamicNodeList and trying to execute
that and throwing:
umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeList.Where(string, params object[])' is inaccessible due to its protection level
I can do things like:
Model.Up().Descendants("product").Where("Name == \"Some Product Name\"")
but the minute I try and use a property of the product DocType it doesn't work
Please see attached my complete code:
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@helper cssClassForItem(int currentItemIndex)
{
@Html.Raw(String.Format(" class=\"block-left no-overflow{0}\"", (currentItemIndex % 5 == 0 ? " last" : "")));
}
@{
int recommendedProductsCount = 5;
dynamic recommendedProducts = new List<dynamic>();
var productsOfSameType = Model.Parent.Children.Where("productType == \"Some product type\"");
if (productsOfSameType != null && productsOfSameType.Items.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var item in productsOfSameType)
{
recommendedProducts.Add(item);
recommendedProductsCount--;
if (recommendedProducts.Count == 2)
{
break;
}
}
}
var valuesForFilter = new Dictionary<string, object>();
var productCodes = new List<string>();
foreach (var selectedProduct in recommendedProducts)
{
productCodes.Add(selectedProduct.Name);
}
if (productCodes.Count > 0)
{
valuesForFilter.Add("productCodes", productCodes);
var remainingProductsInCollection = @Model.Up().Descendants("product").Where("!Name.ContainsAny(productCodes)", valuesForFilter);
if (remainingProductsInCollection != null && remainingProductsInCollection.Items.Count > 0)
{
var remainingProductsToAdd = remainingProductsInCollection.Items.Count > recommendedProductsCount ? remainingProductsInCollection.Items.Random(recommendedProductsCount) : remainingProductsInCollection.Items;
recommendedProducts.AddRange(remainingProductsToAdd);
}
}
if (recommendedProducts.Count > 0)
{
int currentItemCount = 1;
<div id="collection-items-wrapper" class="clearfix">
<ul class="list-none">
@foreach (var product in recommendedProducts)
{
<li@cssClassForItem(currentItemCount)><a href="@product.Url">
<img src="/media/products/tn_@{@product.Name}.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="@product.productDescription"/></a> <span><a href="@product.Url">@product.Name</a></span>
</li>
currentItemCount++;
}
</ul>
</div>
}
}
}

I'm also getting Error loading Razor Script RelatedProducts.cshtml
No applicable method 'ContainsAny' exists in type 'String
when trying to do the filter on the 2nd lot..
var valuesForFilter = new Dictionary<string, object>();
var productCodes = new List<string>();
foreach (var selectedProduct in recommendedProducts)
{
productCodes.Add(selectedProduct.Name);
}
if (productCodes.Count > 0)
{
valuesForFilter.Add("productCodes", productCodes);
var remainingProductsInCollection = @Model.Parent.Children.Where("!Name.ContainsAny(productCodes)", valuesForFilter);
if (remainingProductsInCollection != null && remainingProductsInCollection.Items.Count > 0)
{
var remainingProductsToAdd = remainingProductsInCollection.Items.Count > recommendedProductsCount ? remainingProductsInCollection.Items.Random(recommendedProductsCount) : remainingProductsInCollection.Items;
recommendedProducts.AddRange(remainingProductsToAdd);
}
}
is working on a reply...
