Hi Guys,

I have found myself in the unenviable position of upgrading an Umbraco site produced by another set of developers.

Umbraco 7 seems absolutely fantastic so far but I have just a few areas that I'm really struggling with...

The previous developers created a json file on startup that lists a large number of regions and countries etc.. that is then used for Google maps.

The challenge is that the countries are linked to regions with the "multinodetreepicker" and the Umbraco 6 site currently works with this code:

countries = @item.HasValue("countries") ? Umbraco.TypedContent(@item.GetPropertyValue("countries").ToString().Split(',')).Where("Visible").OrderBy("Name").Select(c => new
 {
        id = c.Id,
        name = c.GetPropertyValue(Localise.Localise.GetPropAlias(c, "countryName", Culture)),
        isocode = c.GetPropertyValue("isoCode"),

My Challenge is that this worked on Umbraco 6 with the multinodetreepicker (not version 2) but the MultinodeTreepicker2 doesn't seem to return any countries even though they are in the CMS.

Is there a better way that I should be querying this data and perhaps not using "Umbraco.TypedContentAtXPath" at all?

I've been trying to use the examples and excellent support items already in the forum but I cannot seem to find anything that helps me with this specific challenge; especially since this code doesn't seem to be able to use content.Model ???

I'm sorry if I'm not asking the question correctly or misunderstanding Umbraco.

Thanks in advance,
