I'm playing with Umbraco 5 (complete newbie) and currently trying to experiment with the surface controller and macro's.
I've created a basic surface controller:
public class TestSurfaceController : SurfaceController
{
//
// GET: /TestSurface/
[ChildActionOnly]
public ActionResult GetTest()
{
List<Test> test = new List<Test>();
test.Add(new Test { TestTitle = "Test" });
return View(test);
}
}
And a partial macro:
@inherits PartialViewMacroPage
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Macros
@using Umbraco.Framework
@model IEnumerable<Umbraco.Models.Test>
<ul>
@foreach (var test in Model)
{
<li>@test.TestTitle</li>
}
</ul>
And on my home template, I call it:
@inherits RenderViewPage
@using System.Web.Mvc.Html;
@using Umbraco.Cms.Web;
@{
Layout = "_Layout.cshtml";
}
@section head
{
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("getTest")
}
How do I get it to just display test in the ul? I either get an error saying I can't use inherits if model is used, then if I take away inherits I get a message saying that the model supplied isn't as expected.
@inherits RenderViewPage Remove this line from your partial page, if you want i can post an example of a working surface controller action and partial view. hope that helps. Working Example is below,
public class MDSSurfaceController : SurfaceController
{
public MDSSurfaceController(IRoutableRequestContext routableRequestContext)
: base(routableRequestContext)
{
}
[ChildActionOnly]
public PartialViewResult ApartmentListMacro(string apartmentType, string Name, string PropertyRfDicItem, string RatesperNightDict, string SleepsDict, string BedroomsDict, string BathroomsDict, string ViewDict)
{
ApartmentListModel apM = new ApartmentListModel();
//initialize model
return PartialView(apM);
}
Then my Partial View is
@using Umbraco.Cms.Packages.SystemInfo.Models
@model Umbraco.Cms.Packages.SystemInfo.Models.ApartmentListModel
@{
//Html Code
}
