Hi Anthony,

I think there might be two errors in your code. The collection is named AncestorsOrSelf, note the extra s and the Where will return a collection, so you should pick the first:

var siteEmail = Model.AncestorsOrSelf.Where("NodeTypeAlias == \"SiteSettings\"").First().siteEmail;

I haven't tried this out, but hope it is right.

I further tweaked my code for performance,

my Razor footer.cshtml script now looks like this:

@using umbraco.MacroEngines

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

@{

    var parent = Model.AncestorsOrSelf().Where("NodeTypeAlias == \"SiteSettings\"").First();    

    var nodeid = Convert.ToInt16(parent.GetPropertyValue("siteDisclaimerPage"));

    var disclaimerpage = umbraco.library.NiceUrl(nodeid);

    var sitemap = Library.NodeById(parent.GetPropertyValue("siteSiteMap"));

    var siteName = parent.GetPropertyValue("siteName");

    var siteAddress = parent.GetPropertyValue("siteAddress");

    var siteEmail = parent.GetPropertyValue("siteEmail");

    var siteTelephone = parent.GetPropertyValue("siteTelephone");

    var siteFax = parent.GetPropertyValue("siteFax");

    var year = DateTime.Today.Year;

  }

<div class="main"> 

      <div id="siteaddress">

        <p>

          @siteName<br />          

          @siteAddress<br />

          Email: <a href="@siteEmail">@siteEmail</a><br />

          Tel.:@siteTelephone &nbsp; | &nbsp; Fax.: @siteFax</p>

      </div>    

      <div id="copyright">

      <p>Ghent University &copy; @year   &nbsp; | &nbsp;<a href="@disclaimerpage">Read our disclaimer</a><br />

      <a href="@sitemap.Url">Sitemap</a></p>

      </div>

    </div>

Hope this can be of any help to someone else tweaking his Razor scripts for performance

Anthony
