I am trying to build out an alert section that can be toggled on and off for display on the home page.

It's very possible I have it wrong because I'm still learning. But this is what I've done.

I created a property called "hide" with a true/false toggle. When I try to add the hide to the code, it breaks the page.

See code below.

@inherits Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views.UmbracoViewPage
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models

@{

    if(.hide ?? false) { return; }

}

<div class="container-fluid" >
    <div class="row justify-content-center pelican-UI-light-bk" style="border-bottom: 10px solid #fe9903;  ">

<div class="col-lg-12" style="background-color: #b00003; text-align: center; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
    <h3 style="color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold;">@Model.Value("alertMessage")</h3>
</div>

            </div>


</div>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Cedeste

There are different approaches to implementing views, using Published Content or Modelsbuilder, it looks like here you are using 'PublishedContent'...

... so I think something like this
```
@inherits Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views.UmbracoViewPage
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.Views
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models


@if(Model.Value<bool>("hide") == false){
<div class="container-fluid" >
    <div class="row justify-content-center pelican-UI-light-bk" style="border-bottom: 10px solid #fe9903;  ">

<div class="col-lg-12" style="background-color: #b00003; text-align: center; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
    <h3 style="color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold;">@Model.Value("alertMessage")</h3>
</div>

            </div>


</div>
}
```
Essentially if your new 'true/value' property has property alias 'hide' then you can read it using the PublishedContent approach by
```
@Model.Value<bool>("hide")
```
this reads the value from Umbraco and turns it into a 'bool' which is a boolean value of either true or false, and so you can check if it's false, eg not hidden, and therefore ok to write out the HTML...

regards

Marc
