    Related Links unexpected Guids - convert these to Url?

    I can't get my head around this.

    Why do some of my pages return proper urls and some return GUIDs?

    How can I convert a Guid to a url? I've seen some posts but none seem to work.

    Really appreciate help with this one. It's all over the place in my application.

    @}
    var quickLinks = child.GetPropertyValue<RelatedLinks>("quickLinks");
}

<ul>
    @foreach (var link in quickLinks)
    {
        <li><a href="@link.Link">@link.Caption</a></li>
    }
</ul>

    Resulting HTML:

    <ul>
    <li><a href="umb://document/f1904dceef1f406f94aa5561bf3fa5c8">Bid on a property</a></li>
    <li><a href="/rent-or-buy/private-home-rental/">Private home rental</a></li>
    <li><a href="umb://document/cbcc1d8252ae4aa99b833570ba6654b0">New build homes</a></li>
    <li><a href="umb://document/3b3972e3bd684b41b79ab6e73da42519">Rent a garage</a></li>
    <li><a href="/rent-or-buy/shared-ownership/">Shared ownership</a></li>
    <li><a href="umb://document/06407757d4e74df4a852d75baba79e30">Supported living</a></li>
</ul>

    Hmm...

    I wonder if it's a conflict of model name.. try:

    @{
    var quickLinks = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<Umbraco.Web.Models.RelatedLinks>("quickLinks");

    <ul>
        @foreach (var link in quickLinks)
        {
            <li><a href="@link.Link">@link.Caption</a></li>
        }
    </ul>
}

    Hi Paul and Steve

    What version of Umbraco are you using?

    Is there any difference between links that are working and that returns udis?

    Can you try this code:

    @foreach (var link in quickLinks)
    {
        if (link.IsInternal)
        {
            <li><a href="@link.Content.Url">@link.Caption</a></li>
        }
        else
        {
            <li><a href="@link.Link">@link.Caption</a></li>
        }
    }

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks for your replies gents, really appreciate them.

    I looked into the differences between the links as per Alex's advice and it turns out:

    The pages which were showing UDIs didn't have a 'Publish at' date in the properties tab so, not yet knowing the internals of Umbraco's publishing, it looks like they weren't 'published'.

    Setting a publish at date of today meant the correct url pulled through to the link (not the URI).

    Weirdly, I can still visit these pages on the front end via the page url (they show fine) so i'm not sure why they aren't counted as published - this would have given me an obvious smell and clue.

    Best, Paul

    Hi Paul

    I think Nexu package can help you to track unpublished nodes - https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/nexu/

    If you can visit the pages then they were published before and just continue to work, but agree with you that this is strange

    Thanks,

    Alex
