    Render related links contained in Archetype 'section'

    Hi folks.

    I'm having trouble rendering a Related Links picker that's found in an Archetype section.

    To further explain I've got a Archetype with three properties, 2 textstrings and a related links picker. I can get the string values no problem but I cannot get the related links.

    What I've got so far is:

    var linksNode = new umbraco.NodeFactory.Node(dNode.Id);

var links = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ArchetypeModel>(linksNode.GetProperty("drawerSection").Value);

foreach (var link in links)
{
    <p>@link.GetValue("drawerColumns")</p> //displays fine
    <p>@link.GetValue("drawerTitle")</p> //displays fine
}

    If I use @link.Getvalue("drawerLinks") I see an enormous string that contained all of the related link data but try as I might I can't get 'inside' it to loop through all of the links.

    Any advice would be greatly received.

    Thanks, C

    Hi Craig

    You have to parse related links json for rendering it, try this code

    var array = JArray.Parse(link.GetValue("drawerLinks"));
<ul>
            @foreach (var item in array)
            {
                var linkUrl = (item.Value<bool>("isInternal")) ? Umbraco.NiceUrl(item.Value<int>("internal")) : item.Value<string>("link");
                var linkTarget = item.Value<bool>("newWindow") ? "_blank" : null;
                <li><a href="@linkUrl" target="@linkTarget">@(item.Value<string>("caption"))</a></li>
            }
</ul>

    Hi Alex,

    Fantastic! I'm getting some errors on the linkUrl and linkTarget but I think that is down to the UDI / ID change in Umbraco.

    Thanks again, Craig

    Hiya,

    The error is:

    'item.Value

    System.FormatException: 'Input string was not in a correct format.'

    item = {{ "caption": "Anti money Laundering", "link": "umb://document/a2fb93c35b6342548332aa130ea01ac0", "newWindow": false, "internal": "umb://document/a2fb93c35b6342548332aa130ea01ac0", "edit": false, "isInternal": true, "internalName": "UK"...

    These are the values contained within the item

    I'm resuming that I need to convert this UDI into an ID in order to be able to use the NiceUrl.

    Thanks, Craig

    Hi Craig

    Try this line:

    var linkUrl = (item.Value<bool>("isInternal")) ? Umbraco.TypedContent(Udi.Parse(item.Value<string>("internal"))).Url : Umbraco.TypedContent(Udi.Parse(item.Value<string>("link"))).Url;

    Good work!

    Just had to change the external link clause as obviously Umbraco doesn't know what www.imdb.com is!

    var linkUrl = (item.Value<bool>("isInternal")) ? Umbraco.TypedContent(Udi.Parse(item.Value<string>("internal"))).Url : item.Value<string>("link");

    Thanks for your time and assistance :)

    Thanks, C
