Hi guys

I am working on a menu and would like to improve it so that the top level pages display an icon and the name. On my textpages I have a dropdown list with the classes they can choose from. I thought it was as simple as putting in a var called icon and fetching the value via .Parameter.

My code looks like this:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{ 
  @*Get the root of the website *@
  var root = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1);
  var startNodeID = Parameter.source;
  @*var homePage = Parameter.frontPage;*@
}
<ul>
  @*<li><a href="@Model.NodeById(startNodeID).NiceUrl">@homePage</a></li>*@
  @foreach (var page in root.Children.Where("Visible"))
  { 
    var icon = @page.Parameter.ikon;
    <li class="@page.IsAncestorOrSelf(Model, "current", "")">
      <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name <span class="@icon"></span></a>
        @* LVL 2 *@
        <ul>
        @*@foreach (var subpage in page.Children.Where("nodeTypeAlias == \"Tekstside\"").Where("Visible"))*@
           @foreach (var subpage in page.Tekstside.Where("Visible"))
           {
             <li><a href="@subpage.Url">@subpage.Name</a></li>
        }
      </ul>
    </li>
  }
</ul>

Any ideas?

Thx in advance :)

Hi Michael,

Assuming you want to display an icon for each item of the first level why not make use of an Upload file ?

var root = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children;

                foreach (var page in root) {
var icon = page.HasValue("iconAlias")? page.iconAlias : "/img/defaultIcon.png";
                <li><a href="@page.Url">@page.Name<span style="background:url('@icon') no-repeat;"></span></a>
@if(page.Children.Where("nodeTypeAlias == \"Tekstside\"").Any()){
<ul>
@foreach(var subpage in page.Children){
<li><a href="@subpage.Url">@subpage.Name</a></li>
}
</ul>
}
</li> 

                }

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much Fuji :D

I used some of your code and stuck with my icon font. My working code looks like this:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{ 
  @*Get the root of the website *@
  var root = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1);
  var startNodeID = Parameter.source;
  @*var homePage = Parameter.frontPage;*@
}
<ul>
  @*<li><a href="@Model.NodeById(startNodeID).NiceUrl">@homePage</a></li>*@
  @foreach (var page in root.Tekstside.Where("Visible"))
  { 
    @*var icon = @page.Parameter.ikon;*@
    var icon = page.HasValue("ikon")? page.ikon : Parameter.ikon;
    <li class="@page.IsAncestorOrSelf(Model, "current", "")">
      <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name <span class="@icon"></span></a>
        @* LVL 2 *@
        <ul>
        @*@foreach (var subpage in page.Children.Where("nodeTypeAlias == \"Tekstside\"").Where("Visible"))*@
           @foreach (var subpage in page.Tekstside.Where("Visible"))
           {
             <li><a href="@subpage.Url">@subpage.Name</a></li>
        }
      </ul>
    </li>
  }
</ul>

Thx again

/Michael
