Sorry,

The code posted incorrectly and it would not let me edit or delete it. So here is my code again.

@{

var page = Model.Parent;

    <div class="section-title">
    @if (page.IsNull("CourseCatalogInternal")) {
    <a href="@Node.Url;">@Node.Name</a>
    } else {
    <a href="@page.Url">@page.pageTitle</a>
    } else {
    <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
    } 
    </div>

}

Part of the problem is that the document type alias of "CourseCatalogInternal" in the first @if is never recognized even though it is the exact alias for that DocType. What's up?

<a href="@Node.Url;">@Node.Name</a>

Think you have a stray semi-colon?

Looks like its taking out of code

Thanks overlooked that. Now I need the first @if statement to work. Do I not understant .HasProperty ? Shouldn't I be able to put the doctype page alias in as .HasProperty ("CourseCatalogHome") ?

Well, I got it working. It's not gracefull though. Aparently there is not a way to target the doc type alias so I targeted a property of the parent page of the top most node of this section I am working on. Surely there is a way to target the @Model DocTypeAlias ?

Hmm

Think you might get away with @if (page (!="CourseCatalogInternal")) , it is something similar if not exactly this.

could be page without the second brackets

I am now trying to check for the doc type alias of "CourseCatalogHome" and then assign it it's node name with a link.

I've tried

@if (Model("CourseCatalogHome")) {

@if (Model.CourseCatalogHome) {

This worked! Thanks for your suggestions!

@if (Model.Where("nodeTypeAlias == \"CourseCatalogHome\"")) {

Hi Steve

Hope you have it sorted by now, but just for completeness in case anyone is looking for the same answer, this worked for me ;

@foreach (var item in parent.Children.Where("NodeTypeAlias != \"YourDocTypeAlias\""))    != giving the not

so should give an alternative.

As Im writing just seen your reply so,

@if (Model.NodeTypeAlias == "CourseCatalogHome") {}

Should return what you require - another really good way of traversing is in the razor walkthrough, if you want to return to a parent, @Model.Up().NiceUrl will give you a return to the parent in any child page, think that was in about razor walkthrough 7, in an old blog post. (NiceUrl if you are using or Url if not)

Hope it helps

is working on a reply...
