Hi David,

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are just talking about showing siblings?

Perhaps this might work:

foreach (var page in Model.Content.Siblings())
{
    <p>@page.Name</p>
}

Hi Jeavon, Thanks for that but I am particually interested in targeting the 2nd level node of the tree the user is in. For example there maybe a page called Paris (textpage) under Locations (textpage) which would need to check the nodealias of France (homepage). I think I have some code that does this:

var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(2).First();
var menuItems = homePage.Children.Where("UmbracoNaviHide == false");
@foreach (var page in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("Visible")){
    <p>@page.Name</p>
}

I would then have to add some additional code to check nodealias so see if it is a homepage and if not then the following line would be replaced above

var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();

This way the About(textpage) would target Home(homepage) as its root where any page under france would target France(homepage) as its home page.

It seems to be working on my test site, though I am sure there is a cleaner way of writing the code.

Hi David,

Ah ok, so "Paris" and "Home" are both of doc type "homepage", could you do something like this:

@{
    var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf("HomePage");
    if (homePage != null)
    {
        var menuItems = homePage.Children;
        foreach (var page in menuItems)
        {
            <p>@page.Name</p>
        }
    }
}

Find the first node of "HomePage" going up the tree?

Thanks again Jeavon,
I have attacked it from a different angle and seem to have cracked it

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();
var countryHomePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(2).First();
if (countryHomePage.DocumentTypeAlias == "umbCountryHome"){
    homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(2).First();

}else{
    homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();
}

var menuItems = homePage.Children.Where("UmbracoNaviHide == false");
}
<ul class="mainNav">
@foreach (var page in menuItems){
    <li>@page.Name</li>
}
</ul>

My logic was to get the top level node first (homepage variable) then get the 2nd level node (countryHomePage variable).
Checked whether countryHomePage has a document Alias of 'umbCountryHome' - this would only be assigned to pages like 'France' then reassign the homepage variable accordingly.
From there I can assign my menuitems variable and run a loop on this.

The only thing that stumped me was that I could not initially set the homepage variable to nothing and then reassign it within the if statement - it kept throwing up an error.
Thanks again

Perfect, thanks Jeavon
