Recursive Releated Links

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7
Hi All

I am using the below code on a Master Page to display a set of Navigational links that are controlled from the Homepage node, This works fine on the homepage but as soon as you navigate to a sub page the links disappear.
```
@{
if (CurrentPage.HasValue("relatedLinks") && CurrentPage.relatedLinks.ToString().Length > 2)
{
    <ul>
        @foreach (var item in CurrentPage.relatedLinks)
        {
            var linkUrl = (bool)item.isInternal ? Umbraco.NiceUrl(item.Value<int>("internal")) : item.link;
            var linkTarget = (bool)item.newWindow ? "_blank" : null;
            <li><a href="@linkUrl" target="@linkTarget">@item.caption</a></li>
        }
    </ul>
}
}  
```
The code above is from https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/related-links

How do I go about making this recursive so it can be seen on all pages? I am using Umbraco 7.5.3 and the code is in a Template not a partial view

Thanks

Hi Ben,

I have looked at your code, and what you need to do is go up to the root node and get the values from there.

You can do it with the code below.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{
    var rootNode = CurrentPage.Site();
    if (rootNode.HasValue("relatedLinks") && rootNode.relatedLinks.ToString().Length > 2)
    {
        <ul>
            @foreach (var item in rootNode.relatedLinks)
            {
                var linkUrl = (bool)item.isInternal ? Umbraco.NiceUrl(item.Value<int>("internal")) : item.link;
                var linkTarget = (bool)item.newWindow ? "_blank" : null;
                <li><a href="@linkUrl" target="@linkTarget">@item.caption</a></li>
            }
        </ul>
    }
}

Hope this helps,

/Dennis
