    Siblings doesn't return any elements

    Hi, I'm trying to implement a language selector. In the content node I have two home pages (see screenshot), each assigend a different culture. In the code below, the call CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf( 1 ).Siblings() doesn't return any elements, so the code inside the foreach loop is never called. Any idea what I am doeing wrong? Much Thanks!

    enter image description here

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@using System.Linq;
@{
    var homePages = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf( 1 ).Siblings();
        <div class="lang">
            <ul>
                @foreach ( var page in homePages )
                {
                    <li><a href="@page.Url">@Umbraco.Field( "LanguageTekst", recursive: true )</a></li>
                }
            </ul>
        </div>

    Hi Gert,

    How about this: If you see the cheat sheet for Razor MVC, I know it´s for version 6, but if you look at it the Sibling() and it taks an int.

    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-v6-mvc-razor-cheatsheets

    @inheritsUmbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    @usingSystem.Linq;
    @{
            var homePages = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).Sibling();
                <div class="lang">
                    <ul>
                        @foreach(var page in homePages )
                        {
                            <li><a href="@page.Url">@Umbraco.Field("LanguageTekst", recursive:true)a></li>
                        }
                    </ul>
          </    div>

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    Thank you for your reply! On Umbraco TV this was done with the Siblings() call (see screenshot), that's why I tried this. Perhaps this worked in a previous version and doensn't work anymore in version 7?

    enter image description here

    What is the meaning exactly of the integer parameter? Is it the next x-siblings? Whatever value I pass into the Sibling() method call, it allways retuns null?

    var homePages = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf( 1 ).Sibling(1); // returns null
var homePages = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf( 1 ).Sibling(2); // returns null

    Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Much thanks!

    Gert.

    I resolved the problem by looking for the different home pages based on the document type like this. 

    var homePages = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().Where( p => p.DocumentTypeAlias == "Home" );

    This worked for me for Umbraco 7.2.0:

    foreach (var homePageNode in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(2).ContentSet)
{
    <li class=""><a href="@homePageNode.Url">@homePageNode.Name</a></li>
}

    And this also:

    foreach (var langHomePageNode in Model.Content.Siblings())
{
    bool isActive = CurrentPage.Id == langHomePageNode.Id;
    string activeClass = isActive ? "active" : "";
    <li class="@activeClass"><a href="@langHomePageNode.Url">@langHomePageNode.Name</a></li>
}
