Top Level Outputs Top Level in Umbraco Razor Navigation

I'm struggling with very simple Umbraco 7 navigation. Basically, I have multiple "sites" in the same solution - or on the same site, but for different countries and languages. Their home page is top level nodes, and all subpages are nested at level 2 and below.

This is great for standalone sites (outputting level 1 node children). However, I want to create a second menu that only displays the top level nodes where I can switch between different sites. For some reason I am unable to do this.

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
  var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf(1).First();
  var subItems = homePage.Children;

  var rootItems = homePage.Siblings;
}

<ul>
  @foreach (var item in subItems) {
  <li>@item.Name</li>
  }
</ul>

<ul>
  @foreach (var item in rootItems) {
  <li>@item.Name</li>
  }
</ul>

It outputs the first list fine, but the second list has no output. If I try to output @homePage.Name

it gives me output so I know the root items are available.

Ideally, I want it to output all root nodes in the second navigation (mostly SiblinbsOrSelf()

).

What am I doing wrong?

To get all the nodes at the root level:

var rootNodes = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot();

This will include the current page, which can be omitted if necessary.



To bring it in ul

as needed:

<ul>
    @foreach (var n in rootNodes)
    {
        <li>
            @n.Name
        </li>
    }
</ul>
