    problem with Razor breadcrumb

    Hi,

    For a Razor breadcrumb, I'm using this code from the Razor Recipes tutorial:

    <ul id="breadcrumb" class="group">
        @foreach (var level in @Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))
        {
            <li><href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a&gt;</li>
        }
        <li>@Model.Name</li>
    </ul>


    The problem is that is starts building links one level too high.

    This Razor code renders the following breadcrumb:

    Site (NL) > Home

    While it should only show: Home

    Also, unlike the Razor Cookbook demo site my Text pages are not childnodes of the home node. So the breadcrumb rendered for the Text Pages is this

    Site (NL) > Arrangementen

    While it should be: Home > Arrangementen

    My content tree in the Umbraco Backoffice looks like this:

    Can someone help me with tweaking this Razor Breadcrumb code, so the breadcrumb is rendered correctly (that is to say, Home > Textpage)

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony,

    You just can't using your current setup, you'll always have to "hardcode" the Home link instead of the 'Site (NL)', unless you add a property so 'Site (NL)' (eg BreadcrumbURLName) will be used in your Razor file instead of .Name

     

    Cheers,

    Hi Dirk,

    I included the hard coded "home" link. My breadcrumb looks like this:

    Home > Site (Nl) >Arrangementen

    So now I only should find a way not to include the Site (NL) link in my breadcrumb. I guess I should do this by starting the for each loop one level down, but I don't know how to code this in Razor.

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony

     http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/razor-dynamicnode-cheat-sheet is your friend.... Just use

    .Ancestors(int level)

    where level is the level to start from..

     

    Cheers,

    Thanks a lot, this works. I just had to define a condition so that the breadcrumb doesn't render the home link twice when on the home page:

    <ul id="breadcrumb" class="group">
        @if (@Model.Name != "Home")
        {
         <li><href="/">Home &gt;</a></li>
         }
        @foreach (var level in @Model.Ancestors("Home").Where("Visible"))    
        {
            <li><href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a&gt;</li>
        }
        <li>@Model.Name</li>
    </ul>

    Greetings,

    Anthony

    I still have a problem. I'm using a multilanguage website:

    So when on an a Dutch page the breadcrumb should loop through all children of the node Site (NL) and when on a French page the breadcrumb should loop through all children of Site (Fr).

    Currently my breadcrumb script looks like this:

    <ul id="breadcrumb" class="group">
        @if (@Model.Name != "Home" &@Model.Name != "Accueil")
        {
         <li><href="/">Home</a&gt;</li>
         }
         
         
         @foreach (var level in @Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))    
           {       
            <li><href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a&gt;</li>       
           }
             
        <li>@Model.Name</li>
    </ul>

    Is there a way to make the foreach loop start from the Site (NL) node when on a Dutch page, and start from Site (Fr) when on a French page?

    Thanks for your help,

    If you go to the introduction video tutorial of razor recipes, you can download the razor recipes package by clicking the 'download source code' link (at the bottom)

    Use AncestorOrSelf(1) to start from the first level instead of from the "Content" root node, maybe Ancestors(1) also work, haven't used that one yet.

    Hi Sebastiaan,

    Thanks for the advice, I solved the problem in the meantime.

    The problem that I had was showing the homenode in the correct language for each multilingual site. I have tackled this problem by using dictionary items:

    <ul id="breadcrumb" class="group">
      @if (Model.NodeTypeAlias != "Homepage")
      {
       var output umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Homenode");
       <li><href="/">@output</a&gt;</li>
       }
      @foreach(var level in Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))
      {
         <li><href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a&gt;</li>
      }
      <li>@Model.Name</li>
    </ul>

    greetings,

    Anthony

    Yup, that's what I usually do, well actually, I just hardcode the name really, how often are you going to change "Home" anyway.. :)

    Did something a bite similar for my multilingual website and here is how my codes looks like

    <ul>

    @{
          
          var homeNode umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("English");
      
            foreach(var  level in Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))
            {
             
             if(level.NodeTypeAlias == "home")   {
                <li><href="@level.Url">@homeNode</a></li>
              }
             
             else{
                <li><href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a></li>
               }
             
             }        
          <li>@Model.Name</li>  
      }

    </ul>
