Hi Rene,

Do not know if I understand your question correctly.

But as I understand your structure in Umbraco you, some nodes at the same lavel as Frontpage and probably some notes under the frontpage.

So if I understand your right you want to list a specific documenttype.

I am relatively new to Razor my self, but will still try to help.

The -1 should get you to the root node, and from there with the code below, you will get the name of the nodes, if they have the documenttype Textpage. I hope remember correctly.

@{var rootNode =Model.AncestorsOrSelf(-1);}

<ul>
    @foreach(var item in rootNode.Textpages.Where("Visible"))
    {
    <li><a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>li>
}
ul>

Hope this can help you or a least inspire you to find the right solution.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your answer I will give it a try and get back to you if it works out for me.

Kind regards

René

Unfortunately i have not been able to solve this problem. Everytime i try to use (-1) i get an error.

Hi you can just do

DynamicNode node = new DynamicNode(-1).  <<< siteroot.

node.descandents.where(x=>x.somemethod == "somevalue")

{

//logic

}

Have not tested this but it will something like that.  Charlie :)

Hi Charles,

Im a pretty new to Razor so maybe you can help me a little more. Can you give me a hint where to put in your "DynamicNode" examples in the code below:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

@{
var nodes = Model.AncestorOrSelf().Descendants("BusinessDetails");
@Model.name
<div class="extra-info face">
 @foreach (var page in nodes)
 {
 <div class="span3">
 <div class="service-overview">
 <h6>@page.nameOwner</h6>
 <img src="@page.image" alt="" />
 <div class="service-overview-overlay">+</div>
 </div><!-- end .service-overview -->
 </div><!-- end .span3 -->
 }
</div> 
}

Thank you!

Hi, well at the moment you are searching from the page you are on downwards.  Model. is always going to be the page you are on.

So, to go from the site root down.  You can do:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

@Model.name // currentpage name

@{

DynamicNode node = new DynamicNode(-1).  <<< siteroot.

// foreach node under siteroot with doctype BussinessDetails

foreach(DynamicNode childNode in node.Descendants.where(x=>x.doctypealias ==  BusinessDetails)

{

<div class="span3">

 <div class="service-overview">
 <h6>@childNode.nameOwner</h6>
 <img src="@Umbraco.TypedMedia(childNode.GetProperty("YOURIMAGEPROPERTYALIAS").Value.ToString()).GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile")"/> 
 <div class="service-overview-overlay">+</div>
 </div><!-- end .service-overview -->

</div><!--end.span3 -->

}

}

This amy need some work, but it should work for the most part :)

Hi Charles

I have tried to use your code but I only get the message "Script error". Can you see if there is something missing in your code? I mean a "@" or ";" At the moment I am shooting in the dark. :-(

By the way I really appreciate your help so far.

//René

hmmmm do you have any more information other than script error?  Are you using visual studio?  Any clues in that?

You will need to find the namespace for TypedMedia but that code should work :).  What version of Umbraco are you using? 

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

@Model.name // currentpage name

@{

DynamicNode node = new DynamicNode(-1);

// foreach node under siteroot with doctype BussinessDetails

foreach(DynamicNode childNode in node.Descendants().Where(x=>x.NodeTypeAlias ==  "BusinessDetails")) 

{

<div class="span3">

 <div class="service-overview">

 <h6>@childNode.nameOwner</h6>

 <img src="@Umbraco.TypedMedia(childNode.GetProperty("YOURIMAGEPROPERTYALIAS").Value.ToString()).GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile")"/> 

 <div class="service-overview-overlay">+</div>

 </div><!-- end .service-overview -->

</div><!--end.span3 -->

}

}

Hi Charles,

I am using version v6.0.2. Unfortunately i am not using Visual Studio. Is there a way to make the browser tell me more about the error? Instead of only "Error loading MacroEngine script".

//René

Hi Charles,

I have tried to run this in Visual Studio and I get this error:

The type or namespace name 'DynamicNode' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Do you have any idea what's wrong?

//René

What version of Umbraco are you using? and you need to include umbraco.MacroEngines in your bin.

I am using version v6.0.2. umbraco.MacroEngines is already included in my bin.

hmmm then you should be able to use the DynamicNode have you got access to umbraco.macroextensions?

Well done :) glad you fixed it.  DynamicNode is brilliant! :)  Charlie
