Hi guys

I have been struggling with a Razor script for many hours now, and finaly admits that i need help :)

The script is a "Info-box" that will be shown in the right side of a text-page. The user have the option to choose to show the box or not (true will show a random box) or choose from the content-picker a specifix info-box on a specific textpage. I have figured out how to show the random info-boks if you check it to true, but the specific info-box is really troubling me.

A brief explenation of the content in the code:

"visBoks" = the truefalse checkbox to show a random info-box. (Generic prop on the Textpage doctype)

"Model.NodeByID(1362)" = The ID refers to the container(in the content) of the infoboxes.

"vlgInfoboks" = The Content-picker that i use to choose a specific info-boks to show (Generic prop on the Textpage doctype)

The page.visteDuOverskrift (etc..) is generic properties that creates the content on the specific info-box

This is what i got so far:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@if (Model.visBoks == true) {
      foreach (var page in Model.NodeById(1362).Children.Random(1)) {
        
        <div class="block_box_i">
            <h2>Viste du at..</h2>
              <p>@page.visteDuOverskrift</p>
              <a class="more_link_s" href="@page.linkTilSideVisteDu">@page.visteDuLinktekst</a>
        </div>
        } 
}
@if (Model.vlgInfoboks == "true") {
      foreach (var page in Model.NodeById(1362).Children(1).Where(@Model.Id == @Model.vlgInfoboks)) {
        
        <div class="block_box_i">
            <h2>Viste du at..</h2>
              <p>@page.visteDuOverskrift</p>
              <a class="more_link_s" href="@page.linkTilSideVisteDu">@page.visteDuLinktekst</a>
        </div>
        } 
}

else {
    
            
     }

I'm all new to coding in general, so I really appreciated all the help i can get

When i run the script it works perfect when i visBoks checkbox to true. But when i choose a specific info-box from the content-picker it dosnt show anything.

(Got a xslt-error when trying to edit the above post)

Here is how the content is structured:

Hi,

To grab a specific node you the Library.NodeById(nodeId) helper. That said, something like this would probably work. Note I also moved your infobox div into a helper to avoid duplication :)

@{
if (Model.visBoks == true && !Model.HasValue("vlgInfoboks")) {
      var randomPage = Model.NodeById(1362).Children.Random(1);
      @ShowInfoBox(randomPage);
}
else if (Model.visBoks == true && Model.HasValue("vlgInfoboks")) {
    var page = Library.NodeById(Model.vlgInfoboks);
    @ShowInfoBox(page);
}
}

@helper ShowInfoBox(dynamic page) {
     <div class="block_box_i">

            <h2>Viste du at..</h2>

              <p>@page.visteDuOverskrift</p>

              <a class="more_link_s" href="@page.linkTilSideVisteDu">@page.visteDuLinktekst</a>

        </div>
}

Hi Tom

Thank you very much! It was a great help and i finaly got it working.

Your code didn't work just by cpoy/paste. There where som problems with the definition og "page". So i had ditch the @helper (although a very cool feature) and bring back the mess. I know it's not pretty, but this got the whole thing working:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext


@{
if (Model.visBoks == true) {

      foreach (var page in Model.NodeById(1362).Children.Random(1)) {
        
        <div class="block_box_i">
            <h2>Viste du at..</h2>
              <p>@page.visteDuOverskrift</p>
              <a class="more_link_s" href="@page.linkTilSideVisteDu">@page.visteDuLinktekst</a>
        </div>
        } 
}
  
  
  
else if (Model.HasValue("vlgInfoboks")) {
    var page = Library.NodeById(Model.vlgInfoboks);
    <div class="block_box_i">

            <h2>Viste du at..</h2>

              <p>@page.visteDuOverskrift</p>

              <a class="more_link_s" href="@page.linkTilSideVisteDu">@page.visteDuLinktekst</a>

        </div>
}
}

Again, thanks for all you help :)
