Hi,

First question is, do you need to show it using the API or a usercontrol for a particular reason?

There are many easier ways to display an image from the media picker.

So let us know and we can point you in the right direction.

No, I just thought it might be easier to use a usercontrol because I'm more familiar with VB vs XSLT. But either way, it doesn't matter, whatever is easier because i've been struggling with this for a long time.

Thanks a lot!!! I actually see the image....but there is still one problem that I'm having. The image is really small. When I checked the pages source code i saw this for the image:

<img width="1" height="1" src="img/myimagepath" complete="complete"/>

Why would it set width and height to 1?

Hey Kevin,

Sorry, there is an error in the code, change

 <img src="{$mediaNode/umbracoFile}" height="{umbracoHeight}" width="{umbracoWidth}" />

to

 <img src="{$mediaNode/umbracoFile}" height="{$mediaNode/umbracoHeight}" width="{$mediaNode/umbracoWidth}" />

Rich

I think this line

<img src="{$mediaNode/umbracoFile}" height="{umbracoHeight}" width="{umbracoWidth}" />

should be changed to

<img src="{$mediaNode/umbracoFile}" height="{$mediaNode/umbracoHeight}" width="{$mediaNode/umbracoWidth}" />

to get the correct height/width values

Too slow :)

Also if you are still interested in doing this in .NET for whatever reason:

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media;
....
Media m = new Media(_mediaId);
Image1.ImageUrl = m.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value.ToString();

where _mediaId is the value of your content picker.  You can pass it in using a public property & a macro parameter using something like below.  You need to add as a parameter in the Macro settings also.

<umbraco:Macro MediaId="[#yourPropertyAlias]" Alias="InsertImage" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

Or you can get the value from the node directly in .NET using nodefactory  (using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;)

int mid = int.Parse(Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("yourPropertyAlias").Value);
Media m = new Media(mid);
Image1.ImageUrl = m.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value.ToString();

Snap.

I blame Lee, I copied it from his post ;)

Thanks a lot guys for your fast responses. I really, really, really appreciate it!!!!

Hi all,

I have read this post through, and still cant make it work.. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here my macro :

<umbraco:Macro Alias="mediaId" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

And here's my XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  version="1.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
  xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" 
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml
 umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes 
Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings 
Exslt.ExsltSets ">

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:variable name="mediaId" select="number($currentPage/forsideBillede1)" />

    <xsl:if test="$mediaId > 0">

        <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaId, 0)" />

        <xsl:if test="$mediaNode/umbracoFile">

 <img src="{$mediaNode/umbracoFile}" height="{$mediaNode/umbracoHeight}" width="{$mediaNode/umbracoWidth}" />

        </xsl:if>

    </xsl:if>


</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I'd like to have 3 mediaPickers for 3 images on the frontpage of the site..

Hope you can clears this out :)
