Hey, nice package. This is something I will definetly use in the future. A client requested it on a previous project but we ran out of time to implement.

Well done :)

Thanks Paul.

BTW it's easy to apply it to existing v4 projects without any loss of data.

This is a great, something that i've always thought "that would be good"!

I get an error when installing it however

Dan,

Strange... Do you install it on v4 version?

I've tested it on several v4 sites and installation worked well on all of them. Installation actually doesn't have any code, it's just an Umbraco Package with Data type, one .aspx file and one .dll file.

Could you please uninstall it and try again?

It's v4.0.0.  When I uninstall/reinstall, i don't get the error, but still no rendercontrol unfortunately.  Here's the last 2 error log entries

Any idea what has gone wrong?

Please check the following things:

1. If volandzz.MediaPickerWithPreview.dll is in /bin folder of the site?

2. If MediaPickerPreview.aspx is in /umbraco folder?

3. Do you have a new data type "Media Picker with Preview" in Developer -> Data Types ?

Yes to all 3, but still no correct "with preview" rendercontrol for the data type.  Strange..

Dan,

I've just checked. It really doesn't work correctly in v4.0.0. As I've developed it using v.4.0.1 sources it can depends on some things of that version.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

So it works in v4.0.1 and v4.0.2.1 (tested!)

How to edit my first post in this forum? I don't see any "edit" link or button =(

No edits in the new forum :-(

Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check it on the next fresh installation - good work!

I thought about it. It seems really logical to make some changes in a standard media picker. But as I am not in the core team I implemented it as a separate data type.

How to remove "Solved" mark from post???? I have marked it accidently. This post is not an Issue at all!!

I have installed the package with the latest version of Umbraco 4.0.2.1 and checked that the installed files are in the right location, set my document type property to media picker with preview, cleared cache yet still don't see the image preview. It appears to behave the same as the standard media picker. Has anyone else not had this work or has a suggestion to fix?

Thanks

Hi, please change database type of Media Picker with Preview  to integer. This will help! I'll find out what is the origin of the problem.

Yes that worked.

There is new version is available. http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/2757-Media-Picker-with-Preview-(Update)
