Question

When i try to do this:

    public ActionResult Index(string page)
    {
        IndexViewModel model = new IndexViewModel();
        return ("~/Themes/_Layout.cshtml", model);
    }

It gives me the error The name 'model' does not exist in the current context on the first line @model InnodiaCMS.Models.Controllers.IndexViewModel

But it all works fine when _Layout.cshtml is in the shared folder.

But i need it to be in Themes folder! How can i do this?

Answer 1

You need to copy the <system.web.webPages.razor> section from ~/Views/Web.config to ~/Themes/Web.config.
