Hi signe and welcome to our.

I have worked with archetype before but, in Razor you have two methods Take and Random, so perhaps this will work for you

@foreach(var sponsor in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("sponsors").Take(3).Random()){
     <img src="@Umbraco.Media(sponsor.GetValue("sponsorLogo")).umbracoFile" alt=""/>
}

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis

The problem is the ArchetypeModel does not contain the methods Take() and Random(), so these cannot be used in this context.

/Signe

Have you try using Model.Content instead of CurrentPage

foreach (var sponsor in Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(1).GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("sponsors").Take(3).RandomOrder())
    {
        <img src="@Umbraco.Media(sponsor.GetValue("sponsorLogo")).umbracoFile" alt="" />
    }

Hi Jivan

I have tried that, and the Take() method works, but I still get an error telling me that the ArchetypeModel does not contain the Random() method (this is actually the most important).

can you try Take(3).ToList().Random().ToList()

And if that doesn't work you can always google on c# list random. You will find plenty of examples.

I just had a look at the razor cheatsheet.

In V6 MVC it's not called Random anymore but RandomOrder : http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-v6-mvc-razor-cheatsheets
