    Block List - how to access other pages within a view

    Is there an easy way to access the other pages of the website from within a Block List view?

    eg. in my regular partial views, I can access the home page node with the following:

    var homeNode = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1);

    Is it possible to do something similar within a block list item view?

    As an answer to my own question, I just found I can do this to load a node by ID. Not perfect, but it will do for my situation:

    var homeNode = Umbraco.Content(1063);

    Hi jonok,

    If I need access to "the outside world", I usually do something like this in a Block partial, so I don't have to rely on any hardcoded ids:

    var currentPage = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem;
var siteRoot = currentPage.Root();

    Hope that helps, /Chriztian

    Yes Chriztian - that's what I'm looking for, just couldn't find it when I was sifting through the docs. Thanks!
