and that would explain it! thanks Jorge! i will install 4.8 and give it a whirl!

Hello Jorge,

Thanks for the "fast" razor view (and the miniprofiler !! it's great)

Just for info, here is the way I would write the Navigation.cshtm. I use DynamicNode (not dynamic ;) and GetChildrenAsList.Items.Where(xxx)

In this case I don't have to get all children as an Array and do a filter afterwards.

Of course I use GetChildrenAsList if I only need the first level children, otherwise I use GetDescendant

PS : I didn't notice any performance improvement with my code throught...

@using umbraco.MacroEngines
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{
    DynamicNode root = Model.AncestorOrSelf("Homepage");
   
   
    <ul class="nav">
    @{ var homeSelected = @Model.Level == 1 ? " class=\"active\"" : string.Empty; }
        <[email protected](homeSelected)><a href="@root.Url">@root.Name</a></li>

    @foreach (DynamicNode item in root.GetChildrenAsList.Items.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("UmbracoNaviHide") != "1"))
    {
        var selected = Array.IndexOf(Model.Path.Split(','), item.Id.ToString()) >= 0 ? " class=\"active\"" : string.Empty;
       
        List<DynamicNode> listChildren = item.GetChildrenAsList.Items.Where(x => x.NodeTypeAlias == "Textpage").ToList();

        if (listChildren.Count() > 0)
        {
            <li class="dropdown">
            <a href="@item.Url" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">@item.Name</a>
            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            @foreach (DynamicNode subItem in listChildren)
            {
                <li><a href="@subItem.Url">@subItem.Name</a></li>
            }
            </ul>
            </li>
        }
        else
        {
            <[email protected](selected)><a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a></li>
        }
    }
    </ul>
}

is working on a reply...
