I'm new to Razor and was wondering how I can pass an umbraco node to a helper function. Declaring the parameter as a Node does not work. I've got the following sample listed below.
@using umbraco.MacroEngines; @helper PrintBlock(DynamicNode node) { if (node!= null) { <div class="pnl"> if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(node.title)) { <h2>@node.title</h2> } <p>@node.content</p> if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(node.referral)) { var referral= Model.GetNodeById(node.referral); if (referral != null) { <a href="@referral.Url" class="btn">@node.referralText</a> } } </div> } }
I'm still learning myself. I, basically, moved away from dynamic properties in favor of method GetPropertyValue. (e.g. node.GetPropertyValue("referralText")). Instead of Model.GetNodeById, you could go Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.GetPropertyValue("info1")) then you are passing a typed object to the helper (have to update the helper, of course).
Passing an umbraco Node as a parameter to a helper function
Hi,
I'm new to Razor and was wondering how I can pass an umbraco node to a helper function. Declaring the parameter as a Node does not work. I've got the following sample listed below.
@using umbraco.MacroEngines;
@helper PrintBlock(DynamicNode node)
{
if (node!= null)
{
<div class="pnl">
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(node.title))
{
<h2>@node.title</h2>
}
<p>@node.content</p>
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(node.referral))
{
var referral= Model.GetNodeById(node.referral);
if (referral != null)
{
<a href="@referral.Url" class="btn">@node.referralText</a>
}
}
</div>
}
}
@PrintBlock(Model.GetNodeById(Model.info1));
@PrintBlock(Model.GetNodeById(Model.info2));
@PrintBlock(Model.GetNodeById(Model.info3));
Info1, 2, and 3 are ContentPickers on the current node. Same with referral, this is a ContentPicker on the node referred to bij info1 (or 2 or 3).
I get the exception that 'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode' does not contain a definition for 'title' and no extension method 'title' accepting a first argument of type 'umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). How can I pass the resulting node from Model.GetNodeById to a helper function?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Erik.

Here is some code that works for me
