Hi Martin

Not sure I understand your question. What context are you in - which type of template?

On a page (layout template) you cannot loop paragraphs from razor. You have a content placeholder which will render a stack of paragraphs for you.

If the page is an item, you can loop any sub items of that item

If you are in a paragraph template you can render the item in that.

Hi Nicolai, 

How do I loop through it as an item list - do you happen to have an example?

Hi Martin

You have to explain what you are trying to do.

If you have a page with a layout template, that template has content placeholders as you describe - that would be the same weather the layout template is razor or html.

So this is how your placeholder will look in your MyLayout.html file:

<div class="dwcontent" id="Nyhedssliderbox" title="Nyheds Slider">  

And this is how it looks in your MyLayout.cshtml file:

<div class="dwcontent" id="Nyhedssliderbox" title="Nyheds Slider"> 

Exactly the same.

The placeholder then gets filled with paragraphs attached to that placeholde on the page being rendered.

The paragraphs are rendered with their paragraph template - which again can be either html or cshtml. You can mix and match.

You might want to have a look at the Razor document found here:

Hope this clarifies.

Hi Nicolai, 

thank you for your patience :-).

I have jumped a bit a head. I'm trying to build a slider, where I have made an item list, which contains images, caption text etc. 

Now I wanna iterate through these items in my item list.

So far I have this, but it gives me errors:

@{
var items = GetLoop("Item.Items");
var id = string.Format("carousel-{0}", GetValue("Item.Id"));

}
<p> @items </p>

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
  <!-- Indicators -->
  <ol class="carousel-indicators">

    @for (var i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) {
    var tabid = items[i];
        if (i == 0) {
        <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
        } else {
        <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="@i"></li>
        }
    }

  </ol>

  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
  <div class="carousel-inner">
      @for (var i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) {
        var item = items[i];
        if (i == 0) {
            <div class="item active">
                  <img src="@item.GetValue(Item.Items.Billede)" alt="billede">
                  <div class="carousel-caption">
                      @item.GetValue(Item.Items.BilledTekst);
                  </div>
              </div>
        } else {
            <div class="item">
              <img src="@item.GetValue(Item.Items.Billede)" alt="billede">
              <div class="carousel-caption">
                @item.GetValue(Item.Items.BilledTekst);
              </div>
            </div>
        }
    }

  </div>

  <!-- Controls -->
  <a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="prev">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
  </a>
  <a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="next">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
  </a>
</div>

Hi Nicolai, 

my apologies, I was in a bit of a rush, and didn't give you an in depth description of my problem. I'm sorry, especially now that you take your time giving such a fine support :-).

I get the following errors:

Line 30: The name 'Item' does not exist in the current context

Line 32: The name 'Item' does not exist in the current context
Line 37: The name 'Item' does not exist in the current context
Line 39: The name 'Item' does not exist in the current context

Which corresponds to this part of the code:

/*_______

  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
  <div class="carousel-inner">
      @for (var i = 0; i < items.Count; i++) {
        var item = items[i];
        if (i == 0) {
            <div class="item active">
                  <img src="@item.GetValue(Item.Items.Billede)" alt="billede">
                  <div class="carousel-caption">
                      @item.GetValue(Item.Items.BilledTekst);
                  </div>
              </div>
        } else {
            <div class="item">
              <img src="@item.GetValue(Item.Items.Billede)" alt="billede">
              <div class="carousel-caption">
                @item.GetValue(Item.Items.BilledTekst);
              </div>
            </div>
        }
    }

  </div>

/*___________

It gives errors, whenever I'm trying to do something like this:   <img src="@item.GetValue(Item.Items.Billede)" alt="billede">.

Just for the record:

I'm trying to loop through an itemlist, isn't Item.Items they dynamicweb way to access the item list on the page, like so: var items = GetLoop("Item.Items");

Martin

Hi Martin

You write  @item.GetValue(Item.Items.BilledTekst); it should be  @item.GetValue("Item.Items.BilledTekst"); You are missing the plings!

BR Nicolai

Hi Nicolai, 

that got rid of the errors. But I'm not getting any iteration though.

Do you happen to have an example or doc that shows, how to iterate through an item list in DW razor. 

As I have understood it GetLoop("Item.Items") is in short:

Item = The Item on the page.

Items = the itemlist on the item.

One of the things, that I find hard to grasp right now is how to retrieve the information from DW. I have trouble figuring out, what to within the getLoop etc.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Nicolai.
