How to get the currentpage from a nested partial

I have a partial, where i load another partial, which is a nav. (Some stacked content thingie).

But pullin @Model.Content gets me the stacked content item, not the current page.. @CurrentPage does the same...

How do i get the actual page i'm on?

Hi Claushingebjerg,

you could make your own ViewModel where you pass the Page as a property to the Partial where you need it.

Hope this helps

Claushingebjerg,

No problem:
```
public Class PartialViewModel {
    public IPublishedContent CurrPage { get; set; }
}
```
Then where you load the nav partial you pass in this class object:
```
@Html.Partial("PartialOfNavPath", new PartialViewModel() { CurrPage = Model.Content })
```
*Untested code, so don't shoot me when I have a typo.

Hope this helps

And i don't do backend code, so no visual studio.

Please dont tell med this requires VS and compiling and stuff. I was hoping this would be relatively simple.

Ah ok didn't see this post that you don't want to use VS.

Yeah, i've built umbraco sites since 2008 without it :), so no need to start now... i hope.

But lately i've been running into more and more relatively simple stuff, that seems to require a VS solution :(...

Hi,

Purests will not like this but it will work!

Use the TempData!

In your view set the value then it will be available in all partials:

@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";

    ViewData["umbracoPageId"] = Model.Content.Id;
}

@Html.Partial("TestPartial")

Then "get" it in your partial and do what you want with it (UmbracoHelper!) proof of concept below!

@{ 
    var currentPageId = ViewData["umbracoPageId"];

    var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
    var currentPage = umbracoHelper.TypedContent(currentPageId);
}
<h1>this is a test parial - pageID: @currentPageId</h1>
<h2>@currentPage.Name</h2>

HTH (disclaimer I used VS to write it ;) )

Thanks - got an error , but rewrote it to:

 @{
        var currentPageId = ViewData["umbracoPageId"];
        var currentPage = Umbraco.TypedContent(currentPageId);
    }

    <p>@currentPage.Name</p>

Which works fine. THANKS

Of course you can just do that - how stupid of me! Glad it put in you in the direction of a solution though!
