    multi url picker in 8.6

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    So im trying to use the MUP in a navigation to let the editor add external links to a nav. I have the nav in a partial.

    Im basically doing this:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@using Umbraco.Web
 ---   
@foreach (var item in menuPages) {
  var myLink = item.Value<Link>("theLink");
  @if (myLink != null)
      {
       <a href="myLink.Url">@item.Name</a>
      } else {
       <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
      }
}

    but it doesn't work. Doing "item.Value("theLink")" without returns the error "cannot convert from 'method group' to 'HelperResult'"

    Hi,

    How many items do you have selected in the MUP? If you have selected few items use this code -

    var links = Model.Value<IEnumerable<Link>>("footerLinks");

    If Max number of items is configured to 1

    var link = Model.Value<Link>("link");

    There is a difference in one or few Links

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Maybe the issue is in this piece of code? = 

    @if (myLink != null)
      {
       <a href="myLink.Url">@item.Name</a>
      } else {
       <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
      }

    probably it should be:

    @if (myLink != null)
      {
       <a href="@myLink.Url">@item.Name</a>
      }

    hehe yeah, that would fix the href for sure :)

    The problem is it never gets that far, as the if statement "@if (myLink != null)" is never true. Even if links are defined...

    There are only 2 things that can be wrong - property alias "theLink" or the type "Link"

    Can you check both?

    And if all of these are correct - then I would recommend you to debug the code and check what value exactly is stored in item.Value("theLink")?

    "item.Value("theLink")" returns "Umbraco.Web.Models.Link"

    Please note that im using "@using Umbraco.Web" where the documentation uses "@using Umbraco.Web.Models"

    Try this code:

    item.Value<Umbraco.Web.Models.Link>
