    Razor macro - how do I display a property alias in a list?

    Hi.  New to Umbraco, and Razor, and have read lots of docs and watched videos. I am trying to display a list of items in another page.  I am writing my first Razor scripted macro, which I want to insert in a template for the new page.

    This is what I have and this displays the name, and links to the item page.  This works OK:

     

    @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

    @foreach (var item in Model.Children.Where("umbracoNaviHide != true").OrderBy("UpdateDate"))
    {
        <h3>
            <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
        </h3>
      
    }

    On my top level item doc. type I have a property alias called "widgetmodelDescription" - I would like to display this description under the 'item.name' above.  I have tried several things but failed.  Can anyone help?

     

    In addition,  under each of these top level items, I also want to show the names and descriptions of their child items, that are associated with each top level item. Example:

    Item 1 'name' + 'description'

    • Item 1 child 1 'name' + 'description'
    • Item 1 child 2 'name' + 'description'
    • Item 1 child 3 'name' + 'description'

    Item 2 'name' + 'description'

    • Item 2 child 1 'name' + 'description'
    • Item 2 child 2 'name' + 'description'

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kevin,

    To display a property value in Razor, the Model or item is a dynamic object that lets you just read it like a regular property.

    For example, you could try the following:

    @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
    @foreach (var item in Model.Children.Where("umbracoNaviHide != true").OrderBy("UpdateDate"))
    {
        <h3>
            <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
        </h3>
        <div>
            @item.widgetmodelDescription
        </div>
        <ul>
            @foreach (var child in item.childWidgetDocumentTypeAlias)
            {
                <li>@child.Name - @child.widgetmodelDescription</li>
            }
        </ul>
    }

    Notice that you have to fill in your own "childWidgetDocumentTypeAlias" since I don't know what that is. Also be sure to be very careful about the casing: for example, widgetmodelDescription and widgetModelDescription are NOT the same thing!

    Best of luck to you!
