    Refer layout from custom template

    Templates, (partial) views and macros
    Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    I am trying to create an umbraco template which refers _Layout. But it gives below error when I refer _Layout.cshtml.

    Cannot bind source content type Brightwater.Application.Models.Umbraco.FAqitem to model content type Brightwater.Application.Models.Umbraco.Base.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi Dan,

    Does your layout FAqitem model inherits from the Base model

    Thanks for your reply. No it inherits from PublishedContentModel

    Than that's the issue. You configured your layout to use a specific model.

    But your view is using a model that does not match.

    Are you using your Base model in your _Layout ?

    Otherwise you could just define your layout with out a type specification

    @inherits UmbracoViewPage

    Yes I am using Base model in the layout. enter image description here

    Since I am using the model inside the layout. Do you think you suggestion would work ?

    Hi Dan,

    This will probably always give errors. Because the @Model.Content.SchemaType is coming from your base model. But your FAqitem will not have this property.
