Hi Ian

Yes, but not yet, was left private, use AncestorOrSelf, should give you what you require for now.

Hope it helps G

I've just written a function which loops through the parent until it's at the top - does the same job.....

    IPublishedContent getRootNode(IPublishedContent node)
    {
        while (node.Parent != null)
        {
            node = node.Parent;
        }
        return node;
    }

You can try this solution:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

@using System.Linq

@{  

    var rootItem = this.Current.AncestorOrSelf(1);

    var menuItems = this.Current.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where(p => p.HasProperty("umbracoNaviHide") &&

        (string)p.GetProperty("umbracoNaviHide").Value != "1").ToList();

    menuItems.Insert(0, rootItem);

}

<div id="midt_local">

    <div id="meny_top_local">

        <div id="knappe-container_local">

            <ul id="knappe-menu_local">

                @foreach (umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode item in menuItems)

                {

                    bool currentPage = item.Id == this.Current.Id;

                    <li>

                        <a href="@item.Url" @Html.Raw(currentPage ? "class=\"current\"" : string.Empty)>

                            @item.GetProperty("umbnavigationName").Value

                        </a>

                    </li>       

                }

            </ul>

        </div>

    </div>

</div>

Thanks @Ian Smedley! I was able to fit your code into a perfect helper function for me to get the parent "section" of each of me pages while stopping before crawling up to the homepage. Exactly what I needed thanks again!

@helper getRootNode(IPublishedContent node) { 
     while (node.Parent.Id != 1115) { 
          node = node.Parent; }
<h1>@node.Name</h1>

Then in my markup I can just use

<div class="headline container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="page-title twelvecol">
            @getRootNode(CurrentPage)
        </div>      
    </div>
</div>

is working on a reply...
