Hi Huw

The block is under views-partial-components.

I render it on a page a few levels deep using

@Html.GetBlock.....

The block displays the content but the value I need to return for example could be up 2 levels but if I reuse the block on a deeper node it could be 4 levels deep.

For now and for the purpose of simplicity, we could say the value I need is at the root of the site.

I have 2+ sites in the Umbraco so I can't use the first site the code finds should be the site I'm currently browsing.

I hope this gives more clarity and information?

Hi Jimmy,

Yes that explains a bit more. Are these nodes all descendants of the same root node, or do you have more than one root node.

If the value is at the site root you can just do something like

var siteroot = (IPublishedContent)Umbraco.ContentAtRoot().FirstOrDefault();

then use siteroot.Value("aliasOfValue");

Hi Huw

The code worked but on the different site it didn't. It looks like siteRoot gets the first in the list of site roots and not the one I'm browsing?

Thank you

Ok, just change the firstordefault so it has an expression that checks the for the alias of the root node you require.

I'm not sure I follow.

If I change it to an alias name, like ws=> ws.Site.Alias would that not pick the same site each time the code is run?

Do you have multiple roots? could you perhaps post the layout of your nodes?

You could try Model.Root() but not sure exactly what you are attempting.

My site structure is

Site A
 --page A
Site B
 --page B

The same structure is followed throughout.

Site ** is where the properly is with a value I need for all sites. When site A,B,C,D load I want the value from that sites parent node.

I think I may have it. However be great if you could confirm if this is the correct approach just in case this causes other weird problems during the line. I used

var root = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.Parent

Which seems to be doing what I need but if that's the correct approach I'm not so sure?
