Blog function of standard template

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7
Hey guys,

I would like to use the blog function of the standard template in my template. And although I use the exact same code, it does not work in my template.

I always get this error message: "Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels.Blog' does not contain a definition for 'howManyPostsShouldBeShown' and no extension method 'howManyPostsShouldBeShown' accepting a first argument of type 'Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels.Blog' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

The code is:
```
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("latestBlogposts",
Line 13:                      new
Line 14:                      {
Line 15:                          numberOfPosts = Model.Content.howManyPostsShouldBeShown,
Line 16:                          startNodeId = Model.Content.Id
Line 17:                      })
```
Unfortunately I'm lost at this point.

Does anyone havean idea? Thanks a lot! Simeon

Hi Simeon

Do you have a property "howManyPostsShouldBeShown" in the node?

First is done. How do I rebuild Models builder models?

At Developer => Models Builder I can only see the settings and have a "Reload" button.

Then change settings in web.config -> appSettings -> Umbraco.ModelsBuilder.ModelsMode set to Dll

And go to At Developer => Models Builder

One more thing: If I take this
```
numberOfPosts = Model.Content.howManyPostsShouldBeShown
```
out and replace it with a defined number, like so
```
numberOfPosts = 3,
```
it works.

Does this help?

The issue is with "Model.Content.HowManyPostsShouldBeShown" field, I think it's not presented in Model.Content

Are you sure that current page has this field?

Hi Alex,

Yes, I'm sure. At least, I hope. I have two document types: "blog" and "blogpost". "blogpost" is a child of "blog". In "blog" I have the field. No typos or anything..
