umbraco razor - getting fields from content

I have a 6 items of the same content type "news", in each item I have a field newsIntro. I want to put the fields in specific pages on another page so I need to target a specific field so it may be newsIntro on node 1702. I have tried a few things like

@1720.newsIntro

how do I target a specific field

Thanks

Solution

  • There are some great resources you should take a look at while you are learning Razor:

    1. Umbraco Razor Feature Walkthrough - An eight part blog post series of many of the new Razor features in Umbraco 4.7 with examples.

    2. Razor DynamicNode Cheat Sheet - A PDF of all the properties and methods available to the Razor DynamicNode object (that includes @Model).

    3. Cultiv Razor Examples - An Umbraco website that you can download and open with WebMatrix or IIS and see various ways to access properties with Razor.

    4. Razor snippets - A compilation of different snippets, examples, etc. from Our Umbraco.

    But in answer to your question, to get a property of a specific node you have to get the actual DynamicNode object first, then use the property alias to access the property value. Example:

    @{
    //Get the node
    dynamic node = Library.NodeById(1720);

    // Display the property
    @node.newsIntro
}

    To access a property from the current page, you simply use Model:

    @Model.newsIntro

    or

    @Model.bodyText

    or

    @Model.Name
