Hii Denford.

You can add property with alias for exam - showOnMainMenu of type true / false

Then you can run trow all of your pages with that property like this: 

    foreach (var item in Model.AncestorOrSelf().Descendants().Where("showOnMainMenu"))
   {
///DO SOMETHING
   } 

Hope that help.

Cheers

hi mate,

thanks for the reply, i have added that property and selected it on the pages i want displayed and unfortunately i still cant pick up all the pages. if im on the home page i cant pick up anything including the home page itself and when im on 1 of the pages e.g. page 3 (from above) i can only get page 3 and 4 with that property selected and not the home page or page 5. i have stripped my razor script to the one bellow, just to get the pages and put them in a list.

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@using umbraco.MacroEngines;
@using System.Linq;
@using System.Xml.Linq
@using System.Collections.Generic;

@{
   
<ul>
    @foreach (var item in Model.AncestorOrSelf ().Descendants ().Where ("showOnMainMenu"))
        {
            <li>
                <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
            </li>
        }
</ul>
}

Your struct should be look like this :

--Site setting

---- Home

---- About

------- page 1

------- page 2

then AncestorOrSelf () go to Site setting node from any page. - and Model.AncestorOrSelf ().Descendants ()  run trow all pages.

you could also then get general propeerties like :  Model.AncestorOrSelf ().propertyAlias

ye it is sort, take it from yo example above the home page and about page are both level 1. I f so then ye it is and when im on about/page1 can get page 2 as wel but when im on home and home/page1 can only get home and not about/page1 as well as about/page2. looks like am jus gona have to try and put all the pages under the home page which is what i already had until my client went on to create a lot of new pages on the same level as the home pages lol.

is working on a reply...
