Share common @helper with Model Builder in PureLive mode

Hi,

I am developing an Umbraco 7.6 site where I have to use PureLive mode for Model Builder.

Is there a way to share and reuse a common @helper which uses ModeBuilder generated class between different Views/Partialviews?

If I put it in App_Code folder, it won't compile since the ModelBuilder generated class are not available to the compiler...

Is there a way to "include" one .cshtml in another?

TIA,

/M

Hi Marco

I have previously been able to add a cshtml named App_Code/MyProject/GlobalHelpers.cshtml.

In this I had the following:

@using Umbraco.Web;

@helper RenderBreadcrumb(int id)
{
    var uh = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
    var basenode = uh.TypedContent(id);
    var nodes = basenode.Ancestors().Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("umbracoBreadcrumbHide") != "1");

    <ol class="breadcrumb">
        @foreach (var node in nodes)
        {
            <li><a href="@node.Url">@node.GetPropertyValue("navName", node.Name)</a></li>
        }
        <li class="active">@basenode.GetPropertyValue("navName", basenode.Name)</li>
    </ol>
}

In my views I could then type:

@MyProject.GlobalHelpers.RenderBreadcrumb(Model.Content.Id)
