@Umbraco.Field("gridParamName") will give you the json...

@Model.GetGridHtml("gridParamName") will give you the rendered output...

Hi Yasir,

I'm not... the templates on our site are still Masterpages. In the Doctype for this page, I replaced the RTE datatype for bodyText with a Grid Editor, still named bodyText. It's then referenced in the Masterpage/template like this:

<umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

I tried replacing that line with

@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("bodyText") 

But that simply renders the text "@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("bodyText") " .

I also tried putting the site into Mvc mode (versus Webforms mode), no change.

I appreciate you helping, I'm sure it's something small I'm missing.

Not sure about web form! any way Have you tried this Model.Content.GetGridHtml("yourgrid")?

I did, without success. I also made a new Template, Razor this time, and assigned the document to use it.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{

Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("bodyText");  //Tried both of these, one at a time
Model.Content.GetGridHtml("bodyText");

}
<p>Hello World!

Only "Hello World!" is rendered.

hmm!

i am only using MVC so thats why not sure about webforms

but i saw the same problem here

https://our.umbraco.org/forum/templating/templates-and-document-types/61222-Render-grid-layout-using-the-WebForms

Do you have below structure in your webforms?

In mvc we have grid renderer template which used to render content from grid.

Yasir

No... it doesnt seem that Webforms and/or Masterpages is goign to work for the Grid.

I did get it to work though...

1. Set site mode to Mvc
2. Create razor view template (rather than Masterpage).
3. In the Razor template:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{ }
@CurrentPage.GetGridHtml("bodyText");

Note that this is the same as your idea, but syntax for DynamicContent...

Now I just need to convert my enormous Masterpage templates to Views.

Thanks for your help Yasir, you led me right to the answer!

Its good that you got it working and now you are on a right track :)

If you still want to use masterpages could you not just create a partial view macro and put your razor GetGridHtml code into that then use the old school <umbraco:Macro Alias=".." runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

I used to mix webforms and MVC this way until I was ready to switch everything to MVC and it worked fine.

Great idea, Ian. Seems like I tried something similar originally, but I know I wasnt doing it right (the specific call to the Grid Editor). Your suggestion seems like a safer short-term solution with respect to my overlords freaking out on changes that can actually be seen ;)

Thanks!
