Field from page link

Razor

On my homepage, I have three 'blocks', which include a title, a photo and a teaser text (don't know if the word 'teaser' is a common used English word, but I hope you'll understand what I mean ;-), with a hyperlink beneath it, leading to a page with the complete text.

The idea is to let the user use the content picker to chose a page (with a paragraph on it) from which the teaser should be automatically generated. How can I accomplish this?

Oh, and I'm trying to build this using Razor ;-)

I need to get the filled in hyperlink (not a problem), but then also add a (paragraph) field property to it so I can then create a teaser from it, I guess. Right?

Hii peter.

In such cases I prefer to add a field - "Home page short text" , "Lobby text".

Like this - the user have full control over the text.

Peter, teaser is a common term for this intro text, you could do something quick and dirty like this:
```
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@using umbraco.MacroEngines
@{var node = new DynamicNode(Current.GetPropertyValue("link"));
  @node.GetPropertyValue("teaser")
}
```
where "link" is your contentPicker to select the required node, and teaser is your content property

HTH
