    list all DescendantsOrSelf("NewsItem") excluding some nodes

    Hi I want to list all DescendantsOrSelf("umbNewsItem") but I want to exclude some nodes from the list that has NewsItems Can I exclude then using the Node Name, I´m trying using where clause but I have no results.

    For example I want to list all newsitems excluding the ones in Child 3 All folders has newsitems

    Home
    -Folder 1
       - Int Folder 1
          - Child 1
          - Child 2
          - Child 3
          - Child 4
      - Int Folder 2
          - Child 1
          - Child 2
          - Child 5
          - Child 6
  - Folder 2
       - Int Folder 1
         - Child 5
         - Child 6

var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();
var articles = homePage.DescendantsOrSelf("umbNewsItem").Where(XXX).OrderBy("publishDate desc, createDate desc").Take(4);

    What must I write in XXX ? Thanks.

    Hi Pablo,

    What you could do is to add a property on your newsitem, of the type true/false data type. The alias of the property should be umbracoNaviHide.

    Then you could do this

    var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();
var articles = homePage.DescendantsOrSelf("umbNewsItem").Where("Visible").OrderBy("publishDate desc, createDate desc").Take(4);

    Then It will only show the items that doesn't have a tick in the umbracoNaviHide.

    You can of course name the property what you want, the important thing is the alias of the property that needs to be umbracoNaviHide

    Hope this helps, and can be a solution.

    /Dennis

    Hi Pablo

    I'd do what Dennis suggests... but out of curiosity:

    var articles = homePage.DescendantsOrSelf("umbNewsItem").Where("parent.Name != @0","Child 3").OrderBy("publishDate desc, createDate desc").Take(4);

    would be the sort of syntax you would need to answer your specific question...

    ie you use @0, @1, @2 parameters to substitute into your Where condition

    regards

    Marc
