Hi all,

I’m just trying to get all nodes by a specific document type in my View and my problem is as follows:

Every time, when somebody clicks on a node, he should be forwarded to an external page in a new Tab. Up to this point, everything works fine. But when I use a BeginUmbracoForm because I need a function from my Surface Controller, one of them no longer works. Either the forwarding to the external page or the ActionResult in the controller.

Furthermore I have the Problem, that my model (BannerModel), which I pass to my Controller, is not detected in my view. Which may be due to the fact that I use @Html.Partial ("SiteBanner", @Model.Content) instead of @Html.Action ("Index", "BannerSurface") in my template. But I have to do this because otherwise I’m not able to get the node of the document type in this way.

Here my code for a better understanding:

My Template, with whom I call the PartialView: SiteBanner.cshtml

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@using ClientDependency.Core.Mvc;

@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

@section head { }

<div class="container">

   @* Html.Action("Index", "BannerSurface")*@

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

</div>

My View, with whom I call the ActionResult: “Count” in my SurfaceController

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage

@using System;
@using System.Collections;
@using System.Linq;

@{
    var list = Model.AncestorOrSelf().Descendants("Bannercategory");
    var model = new BannerModel();
}


 <ul style="list-style-type: none; ">

    @{
        foreach (var cat in list)
        {
            var bannerList = cat.Descendants("Banner");
            if (cat.Name == "Seitenrand")
            {
                foreach (var banner in bannerList)
                {
                    var img = Umbraco.Media(@banner.GetPropertyValue("bannerImg"));
                    var crop = img.GetCropUrl("umbracoFile", "NormalBanner");

                    <li>
                        @using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<Umbraco714.Controller.BannerSurfaceController>("Counter"))
                        {
                            //<form action="@banner.GetPropertyValue("bannerRef")" target="_blank">
                            <button type="submit">
                                <img src="@crop" />

                                <h4>@banner.GetPropertyValue("bannerTitle")</h4>
                                <p>@banner.GetPropertyValue("bannerText")</p>
                            </button>
                            //</form>
                        }
                        <input id="BannerId" name="BannerId" type="hidden" value="@banner.Id" />
                        <input id="BannerUrl" name="BannerUrl" type="hidden" value="@banner.GetPropertyValue("bannerRef")" />
                    </li>


                }
            }
        }
    }

</ul>

My SurfaceController, with whom I increment the count of clicks and update the document type property: Clicks

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;
using Umbraco714.Models;
using Umbraco714.Repositories;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;
using System.Diagnostics;


namespace Umbraco714.Controller
{
    public class BannerSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return PartialView("SiteBanner", new BannerModel());
        }

        public ActionResult Counter(BannerModel model)
        {
            var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
            var banner = contentService.GetById(Convert.ToInt32(model.BannerId));

            var count = Convert.ToInt32(banner.Properties["clicks"].Value.ToString()) + 1;

            banner.SetValue("clicks", count);
            contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(banner);

            return Redirect(model.BannerUrl);
        }
    }
}

My Model, with whom I will get the BannerId and the BannerUrl

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace Umbraco714.Models
{
    public class BannerModel
    {
        public int Clicks { get; set; }
        public int BannerId { get; set; }
        public string BannerUrl { get; set; }
    }
}
