LB lb = (LB)ViewData["lb"];
IPublishedContent currentPage = CurrentPage;
IPublishedContent dealer = currentPage.Parent;
IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> values = currentPage.Descendants().Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "genericValues");

I am using IPublishedContent in my view this way. This is a parent node and it has child nodes to it.

So at the CurrentPage. I am getting all the child nodes including UnPublished ones.

Could you please help me how to use IPublishedContent, so that only the published ones will show-up in view

And there is no check at the IPublishedcontent level, to check whether it is published or not like, IsPublished. it has IsDraft check, but it is not useful in my case.

Hi there,

CurrentPage is of the type DynamicPublishedContent and not IPublishedContent. Using dynamics is not recommended, you should use IPublishedContent instead.

What's the @inherits statement at the top of your template?

If it's UmbracoTemplatePage, you can access the current page model (IPublishedContent) from Model.Content:

var dealer = Model.Content.Parent;
var values = dealer.Children<GenericValues>();

The above is assuming you're using modelsbuilder (where GenericValues is created automatically based on the document type alias), if this is not the case you can do something like:

var dealer = Model.Content.Parent;
var values = dealer.Children().Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "genericValues");

I've used children on purpose here, so if you have got genericValue nodes deeper in the tree that won't work. Just be extremely careful .Descendants as it retrieves everything, which can be really expensive, depending on how many nodes it is returning.

Hope that helps :)

Hi Rune,

var dealer = Model.Content.Parent;

Is hitting the Parent page. I have child nodes in About Us and the view is for about us, instead of hitting about us node, it is hitting global.

The flow is:

Global-> About US-> Child nodes

At dealer I have to get About Us node instead of Global.

I have used

var content = dealer.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "genericAboutUs").FirstOrDefault();

Now I am able to get the about us child nodes.

But the issue still persists. The unpublished nodes are still showing up in the view.
