Loop throug ItemRelations list on "external" item using the API ItemManager storage

I want to control the footer of a bootstrap based website, by having an itembasedpage where i create/edit the footercols in a list.

I have createt an page item - where the item is named "Footer" - and this Item has a field named "Cols" that is an itemrelationlist to another item, called "FooterCols". On the item FooterCols I have a richtext field, called "Content"

Now, I am trying to get the values of the populated list on my master.cshml template.

The "Footer" item has ID "1"

But I can´t get it to work. Guess there is something wrong with my loop, or maybe i have to convert the footerobject to an array?

If I just outpoot the @footerloop variable, I get a number (336)

@{
 var footerloop="";
    var footerobject = Dynamicweb.Content.Items.ItemManager.Storage.GetById("Footer", "1");
}
   @if(footerobject != null){
      footerloop = footerobject["Cols"].ToString();
     
foreach(LoopItem i in GetLoop(@footerloop)){
       @i.GetString("FooterCols.Content")
     }
   }
   

Would really appreciate some help.

@{ var footerobject = Dynamicweb.Content.Items.ItemManager.Storage.GetById("Footer", "1"); if (footerobject != null) { var meta = Dynamicweb.Content.Items.ItemManager.Metadata.GetItemType(footerobject); var columnsField = meta.GetAllFields().Find("Cols"); var editor = columnsField.CreateEditorInstance(false); var fieldValue = footerobject["Cols"]; var fieldViewModel = (List<Dynamicweb.Frontend.ItemViewModel>)editor.GetViewModelValue(fieldValue, columnsField); foreach (var column in fieldViewModel) { @column.GetValue("Content"); } } }
