Hi,

I don't believe you can use $currentPage etc in this context.

What you might have to do is something like:

var currentSite = <use some method to get the parent ID of the current site youre in>;

var jobs = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//* [@id = {0}]/descendant-or-self::* [@isDoc and name = 'Job']", currentSite.Id);

This might have performance implications, but it might be the only way if you want to use XPath.

Hi Tom,

But my main reason to use xpath ir because of performance... I still don't know the new api, but with Node Class and the uQuery, when I wanted to make some query a litle more performance, I used xPath, and in some sites there was a real diference with this. Maybe with the IPublished class it's direrent? I'm going to make some tests...

Thx 

Hi Berto,

Sorry about that, I see what you mean now. You can achieve this using the old NodeFactory and uQuery with something like this:

var jobs = uQuery.GetCurrentNode().GetAncestorByPathLevel(1).GetDescendantNodesByType("Jobs");

And if you're using MVC and want to take advantage of the new IPublishedContent, you can use something like this:

var jobs = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf("HomePage").Descendants("Job");

Side note - it might be better if you can narrow down where your Jobs doctypes will be and avoid using Descendants - something like this might be best (assuming you always know where the Jobs content will exist):

var jobs = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf("HomePage").Children.First(x => x.IsDocumentType("Jobs")).Children.Where(x => x.IsDocumentType("Job"));

Hope that helps, Tom

Hi Tom,

That is what I'm doing right now, but I wan't to use the xpath. About a year ago I had some performance problems with a site, you can check it here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/ucomponents/questionssuggestions/31315-Performance-problem-with-uQuery

And the main solution was to either use xpath or GetNodeByType. In this case I just want to use the xpath because of the multi language.

Basically, I just want to know how can I with xPath and the current node, get other contents, or, what is the substitute of the variable $currentPage.

Thanks for the patience and the help!

Hi Berto,

I see what you mean. Unfortunately I don't think this method supports variables, so you'll probably have to do something like this:

var currentSite = umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent(); // assuming older umbraco version?
var jobs = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//* [@isDoc][@id = {0}]/descendant-or-self::* [@isDoc and name = 'Job']", currentSite.Id);

Hope that makes sense, Tom

within "UmbracoTemplatePage" view:

var home = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf("home");
var jobs = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//* [@isDoc][@id = {0}]/descendant-or-self::* [@isDoc and name = 'Job']", home.Id);

within Surfacecontroller:

var home = SurfaceController.CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf("home");
var jobs = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//* [@isDoc][@id = {0}]/descendant-or-self::* [@isDoc and name = 'Job']", home.Id);

is working on a reply...
