how to get a doctype property value in a template

Hi,

For my EditJob job template I want to access the title of a job document type property jobFunctionTitle. I would like to use a inline razor script in my template.

On the wiki I read there is a method to access a node by id where the id is passed by a querystring:

new DynamicNode(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["id"])

Now my question is, how can I access the jobFunctionTitle property in my inline razor script, a use it in my template, something like:

<h2>Edit Job: [dynamic value for jobFunctionTitle]

I guess this must be plain simple, but I'm pretty inexperienced by using Razor in Umbraco Templates

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

There is a function Library.NodeById that you can use to get a node from it's ID. This should do the trick:

  <umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">
    @{
    var jobNodeId = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["id"];
    var jobNode = Library.NodeById(jobNodeId);
    <h2>Edit Job: @jobNode.Name</h2>
    }
  </umbraco:Macro>

HTH,
Tom
