Hi David,

In the Umbraco 7, if you´re using MVC Views or Partial View Macros razor the umbraco.library methods are replaced by @Umbraco. E.g the NiceUrl library method.

<a href="@Umbraco.NiceUrl(1234)">My link</a>

You can find a list of some of the Umbraco helpers here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Querying/UmbracoHelper/

I wonder if you can do something like this,

@Umbraco.GetCurrentNotFoundPageId()

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

That doesn't appear to work either. I looked at the UmbracoHelper but it looks to be only for working with published content/media - it doesn't contain a method for GetCurrentNotFoundPageId().

BTW I'm coding inside a controller inherited from UmbracoController.

Thanks. David

Hi David,

This may not be ideal but you can try something like this from your controller:

var error404Node = UmbracoSettings._umbracoSettings.SelectSingleNode("//error404");
if (error404Node != null)
{
     var id = error404Node.InnerText;
} 

Note: It says UmbracoSettings is obsolete and to use UmbarcoConfiguration.Current.UmbracoSettings but I can't seem to find it and noticed other posts had similar issues trying to find it.

Also, you will have to modify the xpath if you have more than one <error404> node.

Hi Mike,

I ended up doing something very similar to what you suggested - only I opened the config file using the System.Xml.XmlDocument load method and then used the SelectNodes method.

I works and now I don't have to worry about something else in the future becoming obsolete and breaking my code.

Cheers,
David
