So far the grouping is working but how do i get it to display the value once only instead the grouping?

 foreach(var i in n.Children.GroupBy("NodeTypeAlias")){
         
             <li>
                 @foreach(var s in i){                     
                         @s.NodeTypeAlias 
                 }
         </li>
     }

well seems like

if(s.IsFirst()){
 @s.NodeTypeAlias
}

is doing the trick

Fuji,

Can't you use .Distinct() to get unique doc types?

Hi Dirk,

Did saw a post from Tom about using .Distinct() values but didnt get to work though.

There must be a better way instead of using Helpers here.

i'm sure i've used it before, just not sure what project... don't know about tom's example (no link)... i'll see if i can find the example (no promises tho)

here is the url to Tom solution

Ah ok, got it, my scenario was a tiny bit more complex. Anyway, should get it working using

var aliases = Model.Children.Select(x => x.NodeTypeAlias).Distinct();

Hi Dirk,

Got it working in a neater way !

    DynamicNode m = new DynamicNode(CurrentModel);

     foreach (var i in m.ChildrenAsList.Where(y=>y.GetProperty("umbracoNaviHide").Value !="1").Select(x=>x.NodeTypeAlias).Distinct()){
      <li><a href="#filter" data-option-value="">@i</a></li>    
}

is working on a reply...
