Duplicate Views Analysis Report¶

Date: 2026-02-27 (updated) Scope: v17 codebase at dbl.Progress/src/www/Views/ Focus: Conflicting naming conventions in BlockGrid and BlockList component partials

Current Status: ALL RESOLVED¶

All duplicate view issues identified in this report have been resolved. The data protection views, headerNews duplicate, case-sensitivity issues, and naming mismatches are all fixed.

Issue	Resolution
4 data protection duplicate pairs	DONE -- camelCase duplicates removed; snake_case files contain correct logic
headerNews duplicate (Shared vs Partials)	DONE -- Shared version removed
TrustpilotWidget case sensitivity	DONE -- renamed to `trustpilotWidget.cshtml`
videoPopOut case sensitivity	DONE -- renamed to `videoPopout.cshtml`
gridelementloanboxescompletegrideditor naming mismatch	DONE -- renamed to `grid_element_loanboxescompletegrideditor.cshtml`
gridelementsubmenu true duplicate	DONE -- removed (grid_builtin_submenu.cshtml kept)
3 unique gridElement files alias verification	DONE -- aliases verified, files match

Resolution History¶

Phase 1: Stream 5 Cleanup (commit `65aace9`)¶

4 grid_element_psdataprotection* stubs deleted
gridelementsubmenu.cshtml deleted (duplicate of grid_builtin_submenu.cshtml)
TrustpilotWidget.cshtml renamed to trustpilotWidget.cshtml
videoPopOut.cshtml renamed to videoPopout.cshtml
gridelementloanboxescompletegrideditor.cshtml renamed to grid_element_loanboxescompletegrideditor.cshtml

Phase 2: Data Protection Fix¶

The data protection views were initially mishandled: Stream 5 deleted the snake_case stubs (which matched DB aliases) and left the camelCase files (which had correct logic but wrong filenames). This was corrected by renaming the camelCase files to match the database aliases and merging the correct dictionary-based rendering logic into the snake_case filenames.

Phase 3: Migration Tool Fix (commit `8e384d6`)¶

The root cause -- the migration tool creating duplicate Path A/B element types -- was fixed. Future migration runs no longer produce duplicates.

Root Cause Analysis (Reference)¶

How Umbraco v17 Resolves BlockGrid Component Views¶

Both items.cshtml (line 22) and BootstrapGrid.cshtml (line 216) resolve partials using:

var partialViewName = "blockgrid/Components/" + item.Content.ContentType.Alias;

The ContentType.Alias comes directly from the cmsContentType.alias column in the database. The partial view filename must exactly match the database alias (case-insensitive on Windows, case-sensitive on Linux).

How the Migration Tool Generates Aliases¶

Two distinct code paths in GridConfigurationMigrationService.cs:

Path A -- Source element type found: Preserves the original v8 alias verbatim (e.g., ctaCurves, headerNews).

Path B -- No source element type found: Creates a synthetic element type with grid_element_ prefix (e.g., grid_element_psdataprotectiondpo).

Data protection grid editors hit Path B because they were custom Angular-based grid widgets without corresponding cmsContentType entries in v8.

Three Naming Conventions in the Codebase¶

Convention	Pattern	Example	Origin
snake_case	`grid_element_{alias}`	`grid_element_psdataprotectiondpo`	Migration tool Path B (synthetic element types)
camelCase	`gridElement{Alias}`	`gridElementPsdataprotectiondpo`	Manual hand-migration of v8 templates
all-lowercase	`gridelement{alias}`	`gridelementloanboxescompletegrideditor`	Migration tool Path A (preserved source alias)

Unique Files (No Duplicates)¶

These files have no duplicates but were verified to ensure their filenames match their database aliases:

File	Lines	Purpose	Status
`gridElementLargegooglemap.cshtml`	569	Large Google Map with multiple location markers	DONE -- alias verified
`gridElementSocialfooter.cshtml`	46	Social media links in footer	DONE -- alias verified
`gridElementStickysocial.cshtml`	41	Sticky sidebar with social links	DONE -- alias verified
`grid_element_loanboxescompletegrideditor.cshtml`	147	Tabbed loan product interface (renamed from `gridelement*`)	DONE -- renamed to match alias
`grid_builtin_submenu.cshtml`	92	Quick Links submenu (kept; `gridelementsubmenu.cshtml` removed)	DONE
