@{ //moving to the page with the child items //if you are on the blog page with children you can get the children by using Model.content.Children() var home = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf("Home").First(); var blogs= home.Descendants("Blog").First(); }

If your blogpost is structure under blog I think that you could do something like this:
@{ //moving to the page with the child items //if you are on the blog page with children you can get the children by using Model.content.Children() var home =Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf("Home").First(); var blogs= home.Descendants("Blog").First(); }
@foreach(var blog in blogs.Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("blogCategory").Equals("funny"))) { // do things with blogpost }
I assume that blogCategory is the alias of the field where the user should choose category for each post.
Displaying Blog Posts
Hello All,
I am trying to display blog posts with a certain property that I have assigned them (using a custom drop down type i created).
I have used this code in a previous project.
Is there anyway to modify the following to search for blog posts with a property of "funny" or "romantic" for example.
@foreach(var page in CurrentPage.DescendantsOrSelf("BlogPost").OrderBy("CreateDate desc"))
{
//Do Stuff
}
Kind regards.
Hi James,
Can´t you do something simlar what you did on on the category. http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/57313-Searching-for-a-category?p=0#comment195615
@{
//moving to the page with the child items
//if you are on the blog page with children you can get the children by using Model.content.Children()
var home = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf("Home").First();
var blogs= home.Descendants("Blog").First();
}
@foreach (var blog in blogs.Descendants("BlogPost").Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("type").Equals("funny")))
{
// do things with blogpost
}
Hope this helps,

I'm actually having trouble with that code.
The page loads once I have put in the custom property type "Blog Category" and "Funny".
Inside the code block I put what i want to be displayed (the blog post structure). But nothing loads? I have tried to modify the code but to no avail.
The structure of my site is:
Home > Blog > Blog Posts
I am trying to render the code on the "Home" Page template.
So far:
@{
//moving to the page with the child items
//if you are on the blog page with children you can get the children by using Model.content.Children()
var home = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf("Home").First();
var blogs= home.Descendants("BlogPost").First();
}
@foreach (var blog in blogs.Descendants("BlogPost").Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("Blog Category").Equals("Funny")))
{
<span class="date">
29 <small>JUN 2014</small>
</span>
}
Page Loads fine but nothing displays so its not pulling anything through?
Kind regards.

Thanks Dennis,
Again something very simple. One of these days I'll learn to solve this sort of stuff on my own. :)
Your code was correct. My assumption that my Alias was blog category was incorrect however.
My alias was in fact: blogPostCategory.
Everything now works. Including the code in the previous topic.
Kind regards,
