    Single Item mode, getting values

    Hi,

    Firstly, this looks like a great plugin! Just what I need :)

    But, I'm having problems getting the values when it's in a single item mode. I've followed the documentation. I'm using a partial macros

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage 
    @{
        var rightbanner = CurrentPage.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("rightBanner");
        var h4 = rightbanner.GetPropertyValue("h4");
      }

    rightbanner retrieves a value as a Our.Umbraco.NestedContent.Models.DetachedPublishedContent

    but the GetPropertyValue function doesn't get my h4 content.

    Here's a screenshot when debugging. I can see the value, I just don't know how to drill down to it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Many Thanks

    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    When you step on to the next line, does the h4 variable have any value?

    As looking at the debugging data, it should return a value.

    If it doesn't return any value, then you could try an alternative approach:

    var h4 = rightbanner.GetProperty("h4").Value;

    Cheers,
    - Lee

    Hi Lee

    It doesn't return a value. I get the following error.

    Additional information: 'Umbraco.Web.Models.PublishedContentBase' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyValue'

    But I've found the solution:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    IPublishedContent rightbanner = CurrentPage.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("rightBanner");
    var h4 = rightbanner.GetPropertyValue("h4");    
}

    I changed the var to IPublishedContent and it worked. Not sure if it's because I'm using a Partial Macro instead of a Partial View.

    Thanks

    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    Glad that you've got it working!

    The error for "'X' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyValue'" usually means that the View/Partial is missing a namespace reference. Try adding this to the top of your partial:

    @using Umbraco.Web;

    Cheers,

    Hi Lee,

    Just tried putting in the namespace, it didn't work.

    Seems like it really wants the variable to be defined as a IPublishedContent instead of a var.

    Anyhow it's working and it's perfect for what I needed it for :)
