Here's an example of how I do a top level nav using the IsAncestorOrSelf method of a DynamicNode. It should help you:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@using umbraco.MacroEngines;

@{
    var pages = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("Visible && template > 0");
    const string selectedClass = " class=\"current\"";
    bool hasSubNav = true;

    <ul id="nav">

        <[email protected](Model.NodeTypeAlias == "Home", selectedClass)>
           <a href="/">Home</a>
        </li>

        @if (pages.Count() > 0)
        {
            foreach (dynamic page in pages)
            {                 
                <[email protected](page.IsAncestorOrSelf(Model), selectedClass)>
                    <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
                    @if (hasSubNav)
                    {
                        @RenderSubNav(page, selectedClass)
                    }
                </li>
            }
        }
    </ul>
}

@helper RenderSubNav(dynamic parent, string selectedClass)
{
    var pages = parent.Children.Where("Visible && template > 0");

    if (pages.Count() > 0)
    {
      <ul>
        @foreach (dynamic page in pages)
        {
            <[email protected](Model.Id == page.Id, selectedClass)>
                <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
            </li>
        }
      </ul>
    }
}

Hi Dan,

I try to understand and at same modify my razor file but on saving am getting this error message.

No overload for method 'If' takes 2 arguments

Hi Fuji,

My code, as pasted, definitely works in Umbraco 4.7.1

Are you using 4.7.1 or higher, because I think Library.If method was only introduced in that version?

If you are, could you post your script as it must be something in that?

Dan am running on V4.7.0.

I guess that what giving errors??

Dan i just overwrite my umbraco.MacroEngines.dll.

I think it should get me working .

is working on a reply...
