Single page portfolio
Heyho, noob here.

I'm really liking Umbraco, but struggling a bit to work out how to make it work for my needs. I've found that I never ever make "normal" websites, so I have no experience of how to do the standard way of doing it tbh.

I'm making a portfolio which contains multiple "pages" but they're all presented in one single HTML page. I want to be able to add more and remove them with Umbraco though, editing them looking as though they're individual HTML pages.

So to try and explain better what I'm aiming at:-
- End users will receive one single page which has multiple "pages" inside it.
- In the admin panel, I will see multiple individual pages which I can add to or remove from as I wish.
Any pointers as to how I should go about this?

Thanks. :)

Warren sensibly suggested that providing some screenshots of what I've got so far would be helpful, so I have included three, as follows:

My document types:

The Home section will also have some featured Portfolio items. Would this be best achieved with a macro and a yes/no flag on each PortfolioItem?

The template I have:

I think I'll end up wanting to have templates for displaying inner "pages".

(Sorry that image is so big...)

And this is the content I have put in so far:

I'd like to make it so that the child pages aren't actually accessible without being included in the main page, but this isn't particularly important.

Hi James,
I think I understand the structure of the page/site you want to build.

Are you intending to load the other sections/pages in with AJAX or will all the content be loaded at once on the one page and the navigation will simply scroll to those sections on the page?

But if you create your sections & child pages under the home node then you will be easily be able to list those child items on the homepage node.
So with XSLT or Razor you are able to easily list out those nodes.

This is how I would structure the site

Site
--Home
-----About
-----Portfolio
-----------My Portfolio Item
-----------My Portfolio Item
------Services
------Contact

Hopefully this helps you out.
Warren :)

hi james.

before a year i did one page site for one of my client. you can see it live at http://novia.co.il

i attached scrrenshot of the backoffice, so you can see that its possible to treat one page site as "regular" site.

you can see that the site can have "projects". each project can have "project items".

same for the rest of the site entities.

@Warren

It will all be given out together on the one page and the nav will scroll. Not with AJAX.

How would you do that in Razor? Could you provide a very small amount of code to demonstrate briefly?

@Eran:

That looks just like what I'm trying to attempt.

Thank you both very much for your input. It's much appreciated. :)

Hi James.
OK to list out any child from the current page you can use this snippet.
```
@foreach(var page in Model.Children) {
<h3>@page.name</h3>
@page.myCustomPropertyAlias
} 
```
That should give you a starting point, but the Razor tutorials on Umbraco.TV are currently free until the end of this year
