    How can I do this in the controller?

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    I want to get the home page from within the controller using the best method.

    This is how I am doing it from within the View:

    IPublishedContent homePage = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf().Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "home").FirstOrDefault();

    This is how I am doing it from within the Controller:

    int homePageId = int.Parse(CurrentPage.Path.Split(',')[1]);
IPublishedContent homePage = Umbraco.Content(homePageId);

    How can I use the first approach from within the controller?

    Hi Paul,

    If what is missing is the full list of Extension methods like AncestorOrSelf() and DescendantsOrSelf() on IPublishContent, that you wish to use in your controller code, you need to add

    using Umbraco.Web;

    to the top of your controller code.

    Cheers

    Hi Paul

    What controller are you using?

    You can do it with this code:

    Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.AncestorOrSelf(1)

    Thanks,

    Alex
