Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7

I would like to be able to render a GetGridHtml in a partial. IS there a way to achieve this?

This is my current partial:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
var sections = CurrentPage.pageSections;
int i = 0;
string bookmarkID;
}
@foreach (var sec in sections)
{
i++;
bookmarkID = string.Format("section-bookmark-{0}", i.ToString());
<a name="@bookmarkID"></a>  
<div class="container-fluid no-side-padding">
    <img src="@Umbraco.Media(sec.fullBannerImage.ToString()).Url" class="img-responsive hidden-xs" style="width:100%;" />
    <img src="@Umbraco.Media(sec.smallBannerImage.ToString()).Url" class="img-responsive visible-xs" style="width:100%;" />
</div>
<div class="container-fluid" style="background-color:#@sec.titleBandColor.ToString()">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="container no-side-padding">
            <div class="col-xs-12 page-title">
                @sec.mainPageTitle
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="container-fluid no-side-padding" style="background-color:#e8e8e8; padding-top: 20px;">
    <div class="row">
        <!-- Does Not Work -->
        @Umbraco.GetGridHtml(sec.bodyContent)
        <!-- Does Not Work -->
        @CurrentPage.GetGridHtml(sec.bodyContent)
    </div>
</div>
}

Tree Structure

main-page
   |
   ----- > page-section 1
   |
   ----- > page-section 2

Hi Phillip,

Could you try this

@sec.GetGridHtml("bodyContent")

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

I tried... it renders empty.

If I omit the GetGridHtml method, then the correct JSON is returned, but applying the method fails. Note that is does not give a runtime error.

Hi,
try
```
@(sec.GetGridHtml("bodyContent"))
```
Sometimes the razor "renderer" need a bit of a hint where the tag ends.

Unfortunately that didn't work either. The output is blank. So the JSON is going somewhere and no runtime error is occurring.

Re-reading your code - what is making up these sections? Are you using LeBlender or something similar to create reoccuring sections?

No.

Each section is a document type called "page-section" and has no template.

When the parent template is called, I call @Html.Partial("page-section"), which is the code I posted.

Here is the code to the template:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
Layout = "ewMaster.cshtml";
}
<div class="container-fluid no-side-padding">
<img src="@Umbraco.Media(Umbraco.Field("fullBannerImage").ToString()).Url" class="img-responsive hidden-xs" style="width:100%;" />
<img src="@Umbraco.Media(Umbraco.Field("smallBannerImage").ToString()).Url" class="img-responsive visible-xs" style="width:100%;" />
</div>
@Html.Partial("ew-navigation")
<div class="container-fluid" style="background-color:#@Umbraco.Field("titleBandColor").ToString()">
<div class="row">
    <div class="container no-side-padding">
        <div class="col-xs-12 page-title">
            @Umbraco.Field("mainPageTitle")
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container-fluid no-side-padding" style="background-color:#e8e8e8; padding-top: 20px;">
<div class="row">
    @CurrentPage.GetGridHtml("bodyContent")
</div>
</div>
@Html.Partial("page-section")

I am wondering if the GetGridHtml() is a help method for only templates and not partials and if I am missing a reference.

Sorry - re-reading again - your "sections" are actually child nodes, right? If so try:
```
var sections = Model.Content.Children();
```
...
```
@foreach  ( var sec in section ) {
 ...
@(sec.GetGridHtml("bodyContent"))
..
}
```

sec.GetGridHtml() throws a runtime error... Does not exist. I tried CurrentPage.GetGridHtml() and same results are my previous attempts... no errors, but no output at all.
```
Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent' does not contain a definition for 'GetGridHtml'
```

Hi,

CurrentPage is dynamic and I think causing you your issues.

Try a cut back version of your partial page-sections - NOTE how I'm using the strongly typed Model.Content.Children():
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    var sections = Model.Content.Children();

    foreach (var sec in sections)
    {
        <div>
            @sec.GetGridHtml("bodyContent");
        </div>

    }
}
```
I've just tested this locally and it works as expected.

ok, that worked. This is what I was doing wrong:
```
@sec.GetGridHtml(sec["bodyContent"])
```
and not
```
@sec.GetGridHtml("bodyContent")
```
Thanks for the replies
