7.2.0 - Grid layout with recursive columns?

Using Umbraco 7

Hi all,

I'm just playing around with the new grid layout in 7.2.0 - is there any way to make certain columns recursive?

Ie. if I have a parent page with a grid layout named "2 Column Layout", with 2 child pages, each with the same grid layout, is it possible for the content of column 2 on the parent page to show on column 2 of the child pages?

With Rich Text Editors, I would simply use @Umbraco.Field("column2Alias", recursive:true) on the parent and child templates - is something similar available for the grid layout?

Hi Phil,

I don't think this is possible at the moment, the grid layout funtionality for the Umbraco 7.2 was made by the guys from LECOATI. And the guys had a sesseion on this year Codegarden. You can see the session here http://stream.umbraco.org/video/9948281/the-sky-is-the-limit and they are talking about the difference package they have made, including the Grid layout.

If you don´t what to see the full session, the question if you can reuse the grid layout template, starts in 45:00 minute. When this said you could add a feature request, on this so it would be able to call a grid recrusive. You can create the feature requrest on the Umbraco issue tracker http://issues.umbraco.org

If you create a feature request please link to the case on the issue tracker so other people that come across this post, can vote for it.

Hope this is answers your question, maybe I can be wrong here because is a relatively new feature.

/Dennis

Dennis,

Thanks for that - I have been able to alter the site structure so that this hasn't been such an issue, but I have created a feature request regardless: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-5987

There workaround for this:

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = "master.cshtml";
    var home = @CurrentPage.Site();
}
...
@home.GetGridHtml("footer", "bootstrap3")

Not perfect, but it work!

If you need to recurse a grid you can pass the property directly into the Helper rather than its alias which allows you to recurse it.
```
@Html.GetGridHtml(Model.Content.GetProperty("recursiveProperty", recurse: true), "bootstrap3")
```

This doesn't always work since the recursive call will view an empty grid as having a value and won't fallback to the parent. You'd have to remove the grid property from any children that want to use their ancestor's grid.
