从Blogpost ViewModel获取父项-Sitefinity

Question

I need to get the parent (blog) item in the razor view from the viewmodel object for any given blog post.

I'm doing this in the standard List.BlogPostList.cshtml file.

More specifically, I need either the set URL or title. Since the controller is wrapped up in the resources for this application, I don't have direct access to it.

---

Tried

item.ParentItem().DataItem.GetDefaultUrl()

Got this in the error log:

Could not find a parent item property for the given item. This extension method should only be used for accessing a parent item of DynamicContent items.

---

Tried

item.GetRelatedParentItems("Blog").ToString()

Got this in the error log:

Type "Blog" cannot be resolved.

Looks like that's close, but I cannot guess as to the parentItemsTypeName magic string it wants, and of course the Sitefinity documentation is attrocious.

Answer 1

Something like this should work:

@foreach (var item in Model.Items)
{
       var parent = (item.DataItem as BlogPost).Parent;
       var parentTitle = parent.Title;
       var parentUrl = parent.UrlName;
}

Make sure to add the following using clauses as well:

@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Blogs.Model;
