Hi guys,

Other than using the content picker in umbraco can somehow explain how to point the url of the parent to the first child node instead?

The idea would be by using a boolean, so if the admin want the url to point to the child he only checked it and if not i will use the actual path of the parent.

I have the following in my razor file

if (childPage.Children.Count() > 0 || childPage.Where("skip")){
       <ul>
           <li><a href="@childPage.Url.Down"><strong>@childPage.Name - </strong></a></li>
                 @foreach(var sub in childPage.Children){
                 <li><a href="@sub.Url">@sub.Name</a></li>
                  }
           </ul>                                   
}

Just for the record the property Alias "Skip" here is only to define a bold node if checked. My bad i didnt renamed it!

Can something like this be use to get the url ?
```
<a href="@childPage.Where("jump", "valueIfFalse", "valueIfTrue")">
```

Try this:
```
@foreach (dynamic item in parentMenu) {
string firstChildUrl = (item.Children.Count() > 0) ? item.Children.First().Url : item.Url;
<a href="@firstChildUrl">item.Name</a>
}
```
This will use the URL of the first child, otherwise it will use the URL of the node itself if no children are present.

Hope this helps,

Benjamin

Fuji,

Can you post up your existing XSLT please?

Thanks,

Hi Benjamin,

Sorry for replying only now, was out of the office. Here is how my xslt looks like but am not trying to convert this xslt to razor. Am working on another project where the possibility of changing the Url of the parent to child node needs to be available.

<xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="count(./*[@isDoc]) &gt; 1  and string(linkToSubpage) = '1'">
              <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(./*[@isDoc]/@id)" />
      </xsl:when>           
       <xsl:otherwise>
               <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)" />
        </xsl:otherwise>           
 </xsl:choose>

Btw got it working here is the Razor File

@if(page.Children.Count() > 0){
                        <ul>
                             @foreach(dynamic childPage in page.Children.Where("Visible")){
                                 string ChildUrl = (childPage.Children.Count() > 0 && childPage.Where("jump")) ? childPage.Children.First().Url : childPage.Url;       
                               if (childPage.Children.Count() > 0 || childPage.Where("skip"))
                                 {     
 <ul>
                                      <li><a href="@ChildUrl"><strong>@childPage.Name</strong></a></li>
                                       @foreach (dynamic sub in childPage.Children){ 
            <li><a href="@sub.Url">@sub.Name</a></li>
 }
                                     </ul>                                   
                                 }      
                                else{
                                     <ul>
                                        <li>/*@childPage.Name</li>
                                     </ul>
                                 }    
                              }                                                
                         </ul>
  }
