    Using with leblender

    Im trying to use nested conted with "Le blender" to do some serious Grid magic... But i cant get it to render any output. Using this in a grid view partial:

    @using Umbraco.Web.Templates
@inherits UmbracoViewPage<Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Models.LeBlenderModel>

@foreach (var item in Model.Items)
    {
        var items = item.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("institutioner");
        foreach(var item in items) {
        <p>foo</p>
    }
}

    i get "error CS1928: 'Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Models.LeBlenderValue' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyValue' and the best extension method overload 'Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentExtensions.GetPropertyValue

    How do i render nested content in Leblender context?

    Hi Claus,

    I've never tried Nested Content with LeBlender before... to be honest, I'm surprised to hear that they are compatible. (As I thought LeBlender was based on macro-parameter-editors).

    From the exception message, the problem appears to be how to get the value from the LeBlenderValue object.

    Looking on GitHub, the source-code shows that they have a GetValue<T> method.

    Try using GetValue instead of GetPropertyValue.

    Cheers,
    - Lee

    Yeah, i've been down that route a bit...

    if i just do:

    <p>@item.GetValue("institutioner")</p>

    i get the json:

    [ { "name": "Item 1", "ncContentTypeAlias": "Skole", "navn": "blah", "logo": "1078", "link": "http://www.dr.dk" }, { "name": "Item 2", "ncContentTypeAlias": "Skole", "navn": "werwer", "logo": "1073", "link": "http://www.google.dk" } ]

    if i do:

    <p>@item.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("institutioner")</p>

    i get this error:

    error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageExecutingBase.Write(System.Web.WebPages.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments

    Is there anything more in the error CS1502?

    <p>@item.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("institutioner")</p>

    This does not work since razorscript breaks of at the first < thinking its an html tag.

    You can resolve this by putting the whole statement in ()

    <p>@(item.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("institutioner"))</p>

    The reason why your first code didnt work is because you used .GetPropertyValue instead of GetValue

    Nope, its leblender returning the error message, not a full blown error page

    is

    <IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>

    correct? It looks weirdly nested to me...

    Yeah, that's the correct syntax for the type. But I suspect that LeBlender is doing something differently than how Umbraco gets the property value.

    The error CS1502 doesn't really give us much to go on :-(

    I'd say that this isn't an issue with Nested Content, more how LeBlender is handling the property-value resolution.

    Maybe it is best to ask Antoine to join this thread, or raise a new thread on the LeBlender forum?

    Thanks,
    - Lee

    Hi Claus,

    I think we had this working in a project, but we used a Leblender controller and it worked in the controller.

    Ok, so i found a way to do it, just if some else need to do the same. Using json.net i parse the raw json from nested content.

    @using Umbraco.Web.Templates
@using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq
@inherits UmbracoViewPage<Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Models.LeBlenderModel>
@foreach (var item in Model.Items)
{       
    string schools = item.GetValue("institutioner");
    var jArray = JArray.Parse(schools);
    if (jArray.Count > 0)
    {
        foreach (dynamic x in jArray)
        {
            <p>@x.navn, @x.link, @x.logo</p>
        }
    }
}

    Ok im at an absolute loss as to what happened... Suddenly the above json method didnt work anuymore... Now i use this:

    @using Umbraco.Web.Templates
@using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq
@inherits UmbracoViewPage<Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Models.LeBlenderModel>

@foreach (var item in Model.Items)
    {       
        var items = item.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("institutioner");
        foreach(var nesteditem in items) {
        <p>@nesteditem.GetPropertyValue("navn")</p>
        }
    }

    why this suddenly works i have no idea. Hopefully it stays this way now...

    var item =  Model.Items.FirstOrDefault();
var items = item.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("institutioner");

items returned is null

    and it doesn't matter if I iterate Model.Item through foreach or as above, any suggestions ?

    Another example

    Other thing might be that, I am using Multilanguage Vorto plugin which returns different json then above. 

    var body = item.GetRawValue("body");

    returned json:

        {[
  {
    "name": "Item 1",
    "ncContentTypeAlias": "humanBody",
    "arms": {
      "dtdGuid": "d06ab40a-a3c6-44ae-8671-b84434445a8f",
      "values": {
        "en-US": "Arms",
        "da-DK": "Arme"
      }
    },
    "legs": {
      "dtdGuid": "d06ab40a-a3c6-44ae-8671-b84434445a8f",
      "values": {
        "en-US": "Legs",
        "da-DK": "Ben"
      }
    }
  }
