    Help Selecting all these nodes with Razor

    Here is my content tree at the moment:

    Content
    - Level 1
    - - Level 2
    - - - Level 3
    - - - - Level 4
    - - - - Level 4
    - - - Level 3
    - - - - Level 4
    - - - - Level 4

    I am wanting to select data from all the Level 4 nodes (they are the same Doctype) and have been getting confused :)

    This is where I am at the moment, which selects the first set only - how do I get all of them?

    @using umbraco.MacroEngines;
    @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

    @{ 
    var r = new Random();
    var numberOfItems = 1;
    var root = Model.AncestorOrSelf("Level4");
    var tip = root.DocType3.First();
    List<DynamicNode> pages = new DynamicNode(tip.Id).Descendants().Items.Where(x => x.Visible).OrderBy(x => r.Next()).Take(numberOfItems).ToList();
    }

    Hi Tizer,

    I would use the XPath method, e.g.

    var pages = new DynamicNode(Model.AncestorOrSelf(1)).XPath("//Level4").Where((x => x.Visible));

     or if you want to be more specific and select only Level4 docs that are children of Level3 docs then:

    var pages = new DynamicNode(Model.AncestorOrSelf(1)).XPath("//Level3/Level4").Where((x => x.Visible));

     Thanks,

    Jeavon

    Thanks Jeavon - works perfectly :)

    Xpath is great - I really need to get up to speed with it, I always forget about it

    Brilliant, also we now have XPath as a option for getting collections when using Mvc as some new methods such as Umbraco.TypedContentAtXPath were introduced in v6.1 so it's worth thinking about.
