Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7

Hey :)

I've been trying to make a navigation menu for the first time.

I've most of it working, but can't figure out how to make the frontpage get the "current" class when that page is active.

Here is what i've for now:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage



@{ var selection = CurrentPage.Site().Children.Where("Visible"); }

<ul>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    @foreach (var item in selection)
    {
        <li class="@(item.IsAncestorOrSelf(CurrentPage) ? "current" : null)">
            <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
            @if (item.Children.Where("Visible").Count() > 0) {
                <ul class="dropdown">
                    @foreach (var subpage in item.Children.Where("Visible")) {
                        <li><a href="@subpage.Url">@subpage.Name</a></li>
                    }
                </ul>
            }
        </li>
    }
</ul>

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Mikkel,

This example should work. You only need to replace "HomePageDocTypeAlias" with the actual alias of your homepage doctype :

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@{
    var selection = Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children().Where(x => x.IsVisible()).ToList();
}

<ul>
    <li class="@(Model.Content.DocumentTypeAlias == "HomePageDocTypeAlias" ? "current" : null)"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    @foreach (var item in selection)
    {
        <li class="@(item.IsAncestorOrSelf(Model.Content) ? "current" : null)">
            <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>

            @{
                var children = item.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()).ToList();
            }
            @if (children.Any())
            {
                <ul class="dropdown">
                    @foreach (var subpage in children)
                    {
                        <li><a href="@subpage.Url">@subpage.Name</a></li>
                    }
                </ul>
            }
        </li>
                }
</ul>

I also took the liberty to refactor it to use strongly typed content (Model.Content) access instead of the use of dynamics (CurrentPage)

To have a good understanding between the difference read this article I wrote : http://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2015/strongly-typed-vs-dynamic-content-access/
