    Problem getting root property values from pages deeper in the content tree

    Version: Umbraco 7.2.4

    In my content tree i have a main site node with a bunch of separate subsite nodes. The main site and subsite nodes have difference doctypes so i can restrict subsite allowed doctypes (sadly required).

    • main site
    • subsite1
    • subsite2 etc..

    On both doctypes i have Site Setting properties which i need to access.

    I thought the following code would work but it doesn't when i am deeper in the content tree. There is no error but a bool will return false even though it is false.

    bool showSearch = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf().GetPropertyValue<bool>("showSearch");

    I can't use AncestorOrSelf("FrontPage") because i also have the subsite "SubsiteFrontPage" doctype so i really need to access the root without specifying doctype.

    use

    bool showSearch = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(1).GetPropertyValue

    this gets the Root Node of the actual Node

    or use

    IEnumerable

    to get all Nodes at Root Level.

    Cheers, Andreas
