    Reading From a Settings Node

    Hi,

    I'm using Umbraco 7.5.2. I have created a doc type for my "Global Settings" and have created a Content node on top of that document type.

    I have a static C# class, called SiteGlobalSettings that I use in my backend codes to handle global concerns.

    I want to have SiteGlobalSettings be able to read data from my "Global Settings" content node. In SiteGlobalSettings static constructor, I have this code:

    UmbracoHelper Umbraco = new UmbracoHelper();

    dynamic globalSettingsContent = Umbraco.Content(...global setting node id...);

    After running this code, globalSettingsContent will be null. I can see that UmbracoHelper has some constructor overloads. One of them recieves a UmbracoContext object, but it seems I cannot new it.

    Can someone help me achieve this please? Thank you.

    Hi Siavash,

    Try to do it like that:

    UmbracoHelper Umbraco = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

    It's ok, can you share code of your view?

    Also it's not perfect to use dynamics, do you know?

    Thanks,

    Alex
