Hi Martin,

You will have to use the GetPropertyValue() method as follows in order to retrieve the correct property value:

@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("huvudrubrik");

Thanks, Dan.

Hi Martin,

What if you do something like this does this a difference.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>

<ul class="nyhetslista">
    @*OrderBy() takes the property to sort by*@

@{
    var locationNodes = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("NyheterMain");
    if (locationNodes.Any())
    {    
        foreach (var publishedContent in locationNodes.First().Children)
        {

            <p>@publishedContent.Id</p>
            foreach (var page in publishedContent.Children)
            {
            <p>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("huvudrubrik")</p>

            }
        }
    }
}
</ul>

If not then try to add @using Umbraco.Web;

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Also Martin, from your first code example, I notice you have two inherits statements. From what I know, I think your view can only inherit from one. The last being used in your first example. It might be worth checking to see if thats correct.

Thanks, Dan.

Unfortunately, it still does not work.

When adding <p>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("huvudrubrik")</p> I get this error:

Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageExecutingBase.Write(System.Web.WebPages.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments

Source Error:

Line 20: foreach (var page in publishedContent.Children) Line 21: { Line 22:

@page.GetPropertyValue

Line 23: Line 24: }

I also added @using Umbraco.Web;but no change. It seem strange, as the content page node Id is displayed correctly, the page fields should be available too...

Hi Martin,

What if you try something like this:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>
<ul class="nyhetslista">
@{
    var locationNodes = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("NyheterMain");
    if (locationNodes.Any()){    
        foreach (var publishedContent in locationNodes.First().Children){

            <p>@publishedContent.Id</p>
                foreach (var page in publishedContent.Children){
                    <p>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("huvudrubrik")</p>
                }
        }
    }
}
</ul>

Hope this helps,

It didn't unfortunately, I still get this error, where line 10 is red:

Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageExecutingBase.Write(System.Web.WebPages.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments

Source Error:

@publishedContent.Id

Line 9:
foreach (var page in publishedContent.Children){ Line 10:

@page.GetPropertyValue

Line 11:
} Line 12: }

Do you know if it possible to rewrite my "Currentpage" partial in a way so that Currentpage is replaced with the proper content page instead? In order to get a non-dynamic reference.

Hi Martin,

Think I found what goes wrong. We have missed the @ in front of the second for each loop

@inheritsUmbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>
<ul class="nyhetslista">
@{
    var locationNodes =Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("NyheterMain");
    if(locationNodes.Any()){    
        foreach(var publishedContent in locationNodes.First().Children){

            <p>@publishedContent.Id</p>
                @foreach (var page in publishedContent.Children){
                    <p>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("huvudrubrik")</p>
                }
        }
    }
}
</ul>

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Thanks for your effort but I got a different error. It says that @ is not needed as I have declared a code section on the 3rd row and havn't left that section yet.

Hi Martin,

With this code I don´t get any erros could you please see if it woks for you too.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>
<ul class="nyhetslista">
@{
    var locationNodes = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("NyheterMain");
    if (locationNodes.Any()){    
        foreach (var publishedContent in locationNodes.First().Children){

            <p>@publishedContent.Id</p>
                foreach (var page in publishedContent.Children){
                 <p>@page.GetPropertyValue("huvudrubrik")</p>  
                }
        }
    }
}
</ul>

Hi Dennis,

I didn't get any error but I didn't get any output either.

I call the partial using @Html.Partial("NyheterFront", @Model.Content) but I guess that passing @Model.Content is correct.

Hi Martin,

I'd try removing the second @ character as it isn't necessary:

@Html.Partial("NyheterFront", Model.Content)

Thanks, Dan.

Hi Martin,

And maybe you need to change the

var locationNodes = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("NyheterMain");

To

var locationNodes = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("NyheterMain");

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Sorry to say it didn't help, I got a different error complaining about "Content". I think I have to look into a different approach to make this work. If I'll work it out, I'll let you know.

Thanks!

Hello,

If the news is different on the start page why do you want to use a partial view? Can't you just do your coding on the homepage template instead of a partial view?

It might also help to check out the Hybrid Framework. It has some best practises for Umbraco 7.

SOLVED IT!

It found a nice solution in the TXT Starter Kit. The trick was to use Currentpage and reference doc type in plural (i.e. doc type name + "s"). Thanks once again for all suggestions!

// Best regards Martin.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

        @{

            var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();
            var newsOverview = homePage.NyheterMains.First();
            var newsItems = newsOverview.EnskildNyhets.OrderBy("publishDate desc, createDate desc").Take(3); }

             <ul class="nyhetslista">
            @foreach (var newsItem in newsItems)
            {
                // If the editor has not explicitly provided the "Page title" property page 
                // then just show the name of the page otherwise show the provided title
                var title = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(newsItem.Title) 
                    ? newsItem.Name
                    : newsItem.Title;

                // If the editor has not explicitly set the publishDate property then show the create date
                var dateTime = newsItem.PublishDate == default(DateTime) 
                    ? newsItem.CreateDate
                    : newsItem.PublishDate;

                <li>
