Hi,

i would guess it because you are not finding the global settings node before you ask for the values.

in your template you will first need to find the global settings node ?

something like :

var settings = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("\\globalSettings");
var twitterUrl = settings.GetPropertyValue<string>("twitterUrl")

might work . assuming your global site settings node doctype is called globalSettings

i usually put something this in a helper class, then you can call it without doing the lookup.*

e.g.

public static class GlobalSettingsExtensions
{
    public static IPublishedContent GlobalSettings(this UmbracoHelper umbraco)
    {
        return umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("\\globalSettings");
    }
}

would (when namespace is included in the razor) let you do something like:

@Umbraco.GlobalSettings.GetPropertyValue("twitterUrl")
