why would you want to render it in the main template exactly?

The main template should be simply that, a scaffolding template.

you can do this to get a reference to your home page (or something similar)

var home = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().Where(c=>c.ContentType.Alias == "home")

Hi,

I want a pop up message to appear on every single page.

This is what I have.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@using Umbraco.Web.Models


@{


    var home = Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().Where(c=>c.ContentType.Alias == "home");
}



                           @if (!Model.Value<bool>("hidePopUp"))

{
   <div class="bts-popup" role="alert">
    <div class="bts-popup-container">
      <p>@Model.Value("popUpText")</p>

        <a href="#0" class="bts-popup-close img-replace">Close</a>
    </div>
</div>
}

But it only seems to work on home page, none of the other pages.

Cheers

@if (!home.Value<bool>("hidePopUp"))

@home.Value("popUpText")

Depending on if your hidePopUp is on the home node.. or if it's on your pages then revert back to Model

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

I can confirm that hidePopUp is on the home node.

I'm getting this error now.

Thanks again.

Sorry just glanced

Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().Where(c=>c.ContentType.Alias == "home").FirstOrDefault() and then check for null before using.

Or you can do Model.Root() to get the node at Level 1 in the current pages ancestors. Which is you home node too.
