So started to play around with Umbraco 8. Improvement done in Umbraco 8 is really a great. But I feel like I am starting it again from beginning that I start to learn Umbraco 4.x version.
I am trying from very simple code with default starter kit that comes with Umbraco. I have below code trying to show list of blogs in home page.
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@{
Layout = null;
var home=Model.AncestorOrSelf(1);
var blogs=home.Descendants("blog").FirstOrDefault();
var product=home.Descendant("product");
}
<h1>@blogs.Name</h1>
@foreach(var blog in home.Descendants("blogpost"))
{
<a href="@blog.Url">Title: @blog.Name</a><br/>
}
Above code is giving me completely different result then I expect. @blogs.Name I want to show node name of the blog node. But that's showing name of the product node. And my loop code shows all the nodes instead of listing only blogs. Can anyone suggest me whats wrong in my code? Or there is different code available for Umbraco 8? As I have seen in razor examples still descendants with document type alias parameter is supporting.
The reason all of your nodes are being listed is because your foreach is looping through the home list, instead of blogs.
Having said that, the following code below should produce what you'd expect to see:
@{
// Get the first "Blog" document type that exists within Umbraco
var blog = Model.Root().Children.Where(x => x.IsDocumentType("blog")).FirstOrDefault();
<h1>@blog.Name</h1>
// Iterates through the list of blog children
foreach (var item in blog.Children)
{
<a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a><br/>
}
}
Get Descendants Node By DocumentType Alias Not Working

Hi Rhys,
Thanks for your quick response. It's a great help. It solved my problem. I thought home.Descendants("blog") will still give me the blog node as in U7.
Once again thank you for your help.
Thanks Pasang
