    Link back to main site data type

    i want to give my users the ability to add in a new link back to the main site in the top navigation. To facilitate this i have added a content picker data type into the landing doc type.

    I now want to reference this in the uBlogsyNavigation.cshtml but not sure how i go about it..

    can i just create a new variable?

    var mainsitelink = @Model.NodeById(Model.uBlogsyMainSiteLink);

    and then reference it?

    Any advice welcome.

    There's a method called GetLanding()

    var mainsitelink = @Model.NodeById(DataService.Instance.GetLanding().GetPropertyValue("uBlogsyMainSiteLink"));

    Thanks Anthony,

    I've added this into the uBlogsyNavigation.cshtml

     // get all pages

     var nodes = GetPageNodes(landing, Model.Id);

     // Get my return link

    var mainsitelink = @Model.NodeById(DataService.Instance.GetLanding().GetPropertyValue("uBlogsyMainSiteLink"));

    but i'm getting a razor error and in VS2010 i can see that "No overload method for GetLanding takes 0 Arguments".

     

    TIA 

    Stephen
