Umbraco 8 DocumentTypeAlias
Hi

In umbraco 7 i used the code below to include partials based on whatever nested content was chosen in a particular document type. However i am struggeling to figure out how to do the same on Umbraco 8.

Is it possible to get the Document Type Alias of nested content in Umbraco 8?
```
var modules = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("modules");
foreach (var module in modules)
{
    @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/Modules/" + module.DocumentTypeAlias + ".cshtml", module)
}
```

Hi Esben

Sure, in Umbraco 8 there is no longer a DocumentTypeAlias property on IPublishedContent, but just a ContentType property, which has an Alias property.

So something like this should work:
```
var modules = Model.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("modules");
foreach (var module in modules)
{
    @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/Modules/" + module.ContentType.Alias + ".cshtml", module)
}
```
If you are using Nested Content you're working with element types, which is based on IPublishedElement: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/v8/contrib/src/Umbraco.Core/Models/PublishedContent/IPublishedElement.cs#L16

where IPublishedContent inherit from IPublishedElement and therefore share the same based properties: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/v8/contrib/src/Umbraco.Core/Models/PublishedContent/IPublishedContent.cs#L13

So with Nested Content this should work.
```
var modules = Model.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("modules");
foreach (var module in modules)
{
    @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/Modules/" + module.ContentType.Alias + ".cshtml", module)
}
```

Thanks alot, that did the trick :D Some how i missed that property when going through the documentation.

However i hit another snag i hope someone might be able to help with.

After i got the partial included, i cant seem to get the "module" variabel to parse through to the partial. When i try i get an error telling me "The name 'module' does not exist in the current context"

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@{
    Layout = "master.cshtml";
}

@* the fun starts here *@

    <div role="main" class="main">
        @{
            var modules = Model.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("contentclass");
            foreach (var module in modules)
            {
                @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/Modules/" + module.ContentType.Alias + ".cshtml", module)
            }
        }
    </div>

Partial Code:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage

@{
    var logoref = module.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("LogoRefModuleClass");

}

<div class="container">
    <div class="row text-center pb-2 pt-3 mt-4 mb-3">
        <div class="owl-carousel owl-theme carousel-center-active-item" data-plugin-options="{'responsive': {'0': {'items': 1}, '476': {'items': 1}, '768': {'items': 5}, '992': {'items': 7}, '1200': {'items': 7}}, 'autoplay': true, 'autoplayTimeout': 1000, 'dots': false, 'margin': 20}">

            @foreach (var item in logoref)
            {
                var image = item.Value<IPublishedContent>("logo");

                <div>
                    <img class="img-fluid" src="@image.Url" alt="">
                </div>
            }

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Hi Esben

The default model for UmbracoViewPage is IPublishedContent, so you have to specify that your model is IPublishedElement.

Instead of writing @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage you can write @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedElement>

I have already tried that and unfortunatly the issue is the same with or without:
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedElement>
```
If i copy the code from the included partial into the main code instead of using a partial, everything works as expected.

Ah sorry, didn't see you were using module in your partial view. It should be Model. In other words, instead of
```
var logoref = module.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("LogoRefModuleClass");
```
you should write
```
var logoref = Model.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedElement>>("LogoRefModuleClass");
```
