Home page BlogPostRepository

Templates and document types
Hello.

I'm using Umbraco 7.2.2

I have a list of blog posts in a blog post repository that I want to display on the front page. What is the razor syntax to do that?

I thought one of these three code snippets would work, but not having any joy. Please help:
```
var blogPosts = CurrentPage.Site().Children("BlogPostRepository");
var blogPosts = CurrentPage.Site().Children("BlogPostRepository").Children("BlogPost");
var blogPosts = CurrentPage.Site().Children("BlogPostRepository")[0].Children("BlogPost");
```
Any help would be most welcome.

Hi Leon,

Try to use Descendants instead of Children, like that :
```
Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().DescendantsOrSelf("BlogPostRepository")
```
Thanks

Hi Leon

You can do it like this
```
@{
    var blogPosts = CurrentPage.Descendants("BlogPost");

   foreach(var blostPost in blogPosts){
       blogPost.Id <br />
   }
}
```
I think you can also benefit from reading this cheat sheet of available methods etc. https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-v6-mvc-razor-cheatsheets

Hope this helps.

Hi Leon,

If you are using the query builder in Umbraco 7.2.2 then you can use this Razor to display blogposts on the frontpage. You can find the query builder here.

@{
    var selection = CurrentPage.Site().FirstChild("BlogPostRepository").Children("BlogPost").Where("Visible");
}
<ul>
    @foreach(var item in selection){
        <li>
            <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
        </li>
    }
</ul>
