Anthony,

Don't know why, but would suggest to not use hard coded values for the name of the node, as soon as an editor changes it, your breadcrumb will blow up. I'd probably check the alias of the document type of those pages... Most probably using

@if (Model.NodeTypeAlias == "DocTypeOfHomePage") {
<li><a href="/">@Model.Name</a>&gt;</li>
} 

And, why are you adding an '@' before Model in your if statement

@if (Model.Name == "Home") {
// do whatever you need to do here
}

Hi Dirk,

Sorry, as it are my first steps with Razor, sometimes I'm confused when, and when not to use the '@' sign. Now I know that in the statement of a condition one should not use the '@' sign.

Concerning the breadcrumb for my multisite, this code works:

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

But the problem remains that for the pages under the Site (Fr) node the breadcrumb is still:

Home > Reservation etc ... while it should be Accueil > Reservation

So I guess to solve this problem I should find a way to output the .Name property of the node with

the NodeTypeAlias of "Homepage".

Something like:

@if (Model.NodeTypeAlias != "Homepage")
          {
           <li><a href="/">name of the node with NodeTypeAlias == "Homepage"</a></li>
           }

Phew, I didn't know breadcrumbs could be that tricky

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

Anthony,

Concerning the @ sign, you statement doesn't make sense... you need to have the '@' as soon as you start swithing between html and Razor context... So, as soon as you enter a piece of html, and then wishes to write some c# code, you'd need the '@' sign. As long as you stay in c# - or code context - there's no need to add to '@' sign for any of the vars or reserved words.

Hi Dirk,

Oh I see, thanks for the advice. Concerning the problem with the home node in my breadcrumb, I'll think I will need to solve this with dictionary items, so that the home link shows 'Accueil' when on a French content page and 'Home' when on a Dutch content page. I wonder if it is possible to use dictionary items in a Razor script.

greetings,

Anthony

Hi Dirk,

Thanks a lot for your help. My breadcrumb works exactly as needed now. On a French content page the label for the rendered homelink is 'Accueil' and on a Dutch page the label for the rendered homelink is 'Home'. My script looks like this:

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

Greetings,

Anthony
