Mark Downie - Umbraco 7 and Umbraco 8 (and umbraco 4) Developer - Code Snippets - Glasgow - Scotland

The following script takes a look through all the nodes in the umbraco structure, and lists all the nodes of a certain type: (in this case "FAQ"s - good for Front Page News)

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
    @foreach (var thisPage in @Model.Descendants("Faq").Take(5))
    {
      <li style="text-align:left;"><a href="@thisPage.Url" style="color:#ffffff">@thisPage.Name</a></li>
    }



To Sort by the updated date:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext



    @foreach (var thisPage in @Model.Descendants("Faq").OrderBy("UpdateDate descending").Take(5))
    {
      <li style="text-align:left;"><a href="@thisPage.Url" style="color:#ffffff">@thisPage.Name</a></li>
    }


 Output:
