    Dictionary items not displaying

    Hi,

    When I have a view or partial which does not inherit from IPublishedContent, ie inherits from a custom view modeI, I cannot seem to display dictionary items in the usual:

    @Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("MyItem", "alt text")
    

    How can I get round this?

    Hi Damion

    If you have a custom model for a view or partial view then instead of defining the model at the top of the view like this:

    @model MyCustomViewModel
    

    use an inherits statement and UmbracoViewPage like this:

    @inherits UmbracoViewPage<MyCustomViewModel>
    

    This will still give you access to your custom model properties via @Model.Name etc but will also setup the static helpers for things like UmbracoHelper that enable Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue to work...

    regards

    Marc
