Hi,

In Umbraco 8 I don't think you can do it with a string value anymore :(

however :

 var subPages =  pages.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible());

should work.

No, It did not work; even not compiling. Below is the whole code:

public List

Below is the code

public List<NavigationList> GetSubNavigationList() { IPublishedContent page = Umbraco.Content(pageId); var subPages = page.Children.Where("IsVisible");//Error Line }

Actually, "IsVisible" is property id of a Document type named "ShowHide" that has "true/false" value. And it has been placed as a composition on other document type. So, i am trying to hide those menus having "IsVisible" set to false. So the code page.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()) is giving compile time error where as the code page.Children.Where("IsVisible") is being compiled .

Coorect, IsVisible property id is same as UmbracoNaviHide. The codevar subPages = page.Children.Where(x => x.Value<bool>("IsVisible") == false)); is giving compilation error for expression .Where(x => x.Value<bool>("IsVisible") == false)

Below is the entire code that i have written in MVC5 controller. Please read the comment line in code below `using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; using Umbraco.Web.Mvc; using Website.Models; using Umbraco.Core.Models; using Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent; using Umbraco.Web;

namespace Website.Controllers { public class LayoutController : SurfaceController { private const string PATH = "~/Views/Partials/Layout/";

    [ChildActionOnly]
    public ActionResult RenderHeader()
    {
        //return PartialView(string.Format("{0}_Header.cshtml", PATH));
        List<NavigationList> nav = GetNavigationModel();
        return PartialView((string.Format("{0}_Header.cshtml", PATH)), nav);
    }

    [ChildActionOnly]
    public ActionResult RenderFooter()
    {
        return PartialView(string.Format("{0}_Footer.cshtml", PATH));
    }

    public List<NavigationList> GetNavigationModel()
    {
        int pageId = int.Parse(CurrentPage.Path.Split(',')[1]);
        IPublishedContent pageInfo = Umbraco.Content(pageId);
        var nav = new List<NavigationList>()
        {
            new NavigationList(new NavigationLinkInfo(pageInfo.Url,pageInfo.Name))
        };
        nav.AddRange(GetSubNavigationList(pageInfo));
        return nav;
    }

    public List<NavigationList> GetSubNavigationList(dynamic page)
    {
        List<NavigationList> navList = null;
        var subPages = page.Children;//.Where("IsVisible"); Here if i remove comment it shows error: Object does not have where definition

        if (subPages != null)
        {
            navList = new List<NavigationList>();
            foreach (var subPage in subPages)
            {
                var listItem = new NavigationList(new NavigationLinkInfo(subPage.Url, subPage.Name))
                {
                    NavItems = GetSubNavigationList(subPage)
                };
                navList.Add(listItem);
            }
        }
        return navList;
    }
}

}`

Hi,

couple of issues but. to fix it i think?

public List<NavigationList> GetSubNavigationList(dynamic page)

should read

public List<NavigationList> GetSubNavigationList(IPublishedContent page)

then you will have a PublishedContent item, so you can do .

var subPages = page.Children.Where(x => x.Value<bool>("IsVisible") == false));

this should work when pages isn't a dynamic object but a IPublishedContent item.

Also. if you want the root of the site, CurrentPage.Root() is probably a better way to get it than the path.split stuff.

I applied the code var subPages = page.Children.Where(x => x.Value("IsVisible") == false)); but it did not work and show below message at compile time:

"Can not use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type."

Hi,

the below does compile, maybe you where missing a using statement or didn't change the parameter in the function from dynamic to IPublishedContent ?

Following using statements :

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent;
using Umbraco.Web;
using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;

Super stripped down function:

public class TestControllerThing: SurfaceController
{
    public List<NavigationList> GetSubNavigationList(IPublishedContent page)
    {
        List<NavigationList> navList = null;

        // Added default value, so if it's not set, do you want it visible or not?
        // here its set to true.
        var subPages = page.Children
            .Where(x => x.Value("IsVisible", defaultValue: true) == true);

        // other code removed for brevity......

        return navList;
    }
}

The code var subPages = page.Children .Where(x => x.Value("Visible", defaultValue: true) == true); is being compiled and running. But, I am using "Visible" for UmbracoNaviHide(True/false) that is in a document type and using it as a composition. But it is hiding all menus except Parent; irrespective of their value(true/false).

Thank you very much Kevin. It is working fine now.

Hi,

I am writing code @{ var selection = CurrentPage.Ancestors(); } in a view(.cshtml file). But it show compile time error "The name CurrentPage does not exits in the current context". Please suggest. I am using Umbraco8.

It worked but below is the entire code to implement breadcrumb:

` @{ var selection = Model.Ancestors(); if (selection.Any()) { foreach(var page in selection.OrderBy("Level")) { @page.Name }

        }
    }`

Now its showing compile time error at OrderBy, @page.Url & page.Name

is working on a reply...
