in this tutorial, under Razor Macro I see 3 options to get the url of a picture. None of them work. In Visual Studio when I mouse over "Media" I get the error "Cannot resolve symbol for Media".
How come you aren't usng the MVC View Example? It uses the UmbracoHelper which I believe is the recommended way to work with content as well as media in current versions of Umbraco.
Dear Steven, if the example would work, I would not be here asking what I'm missing. Also to consider above, I tried the macro example because in my umbraco installation I'm using masterpages and some views have to be inserted as macros, hope you understand...
I just tried the "view example", in a view i'm using as template for a document type. I have a foreach loop so I can't just use the example as provided in the documentation with "Model.Content" as inside a loop of article, the node would be "article" (and not Model.Content), so I tried like this:
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
Layout = null;
var newsContainer = Model.Content.Children().FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "NewsContainer");//this has to be like that...
}
@foreach (var article in newsContainer.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "NewsArticle"))
{
@{
if(article.HasValue("image")){
var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(article.GetPropertyValue("image"));
<img src="@mediaItem.Url"/>
}
}
}
What I get is a weird error: "The valueDictionary is not formatted correctly and is missing any of the 'updateDate' elements".
Of course my article has a proiperty called "image" and it's a media picker and I chose a picture... so the examples I found simply don't work, if you can post some code that is working for you, inside a foreach loop, I'd be glad to test.
So again, it's impossible for me to get the media url of a picture selected via media picker. I appreciate to get some CODE, complete, also with the first lines with @using and @inherits statements... THX
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
Layout = null;
var newsContainer = Model.Content.Children.FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "NewsContainer");
}
@foreach (var article in newsContainer.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "NewsArticle"))
{
if (article.HasValue("image"))
{
var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(article.GetPropertyValue("image"));
<img src="@mediaItem.Url" />
}
}
This is pretty much the same as your code except that inside the foreach block I don't try to start a new multi-line statement using "@{" which causes a parser error. I'm not sure how your code runs at all with that in there.
@Model.MediaById @Model.Media, Library.MediyById not working
Hi,
in this tutorial, under Razor Macro I see 3 options to get the url of a picture. None of them work. In Visual Studio when I mouse over "Media" I get the error "Cannot resolve symbol for Media".
I tried all the methods, I always get this error:
Error loading Partial View script (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/NewsList.cshtml).
In my view at the top I have
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
I tried also:
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
It never works. Do I forget something, a using statement or so?
PLEASE HELP
The only way I can get an url of media is to use the old deprecated way. I'd like to use the new way.
Old way (works - but as you can see, lot of code just for a little thing tat should work out of the box but I don't know how to make it work):
var mediaItem = new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media.Media(Convert.ToInt32(content.GetProperty(propertyName).Value));
string mediaURL = mediaItem.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value.ToString();

If you let me know which Umbraco version you're using I can provide you with a complete code example.
Hi Steven,
that would be nice. I'm using umbraco 6.2.1. Thank you.
The following works for me:
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage @{ Layout = null; var newsContainer = Model.Content.Children.FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "NewsContainer"); } @foreach (var article in newsContainer.Children.Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "NewsArticle")) { if (article.HasValue("image")) { var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(article.GetPropertyValue("image")); <img src="@mediaItem.Url" /> } }This is pretty much the same as your code except that inside the foreach block I don't try to start a new multi-line statement using "@{" which causes a parser error. I'm not sure how your code runs at all with that in there.
What line exactly does it fail on?
is working on a reply...
