    Media Picker with Preview (Update)

    As It's not possible to edit posts in our new forum, I've created a new topic.

    There is one thing that is annoying me all the time during my work with Umbraco. Media picker doesn't dispay selected image! Meet the new data type that extends standard Media Picker with preview function - "Media Picker with Preview".

    IMPORTANT: only for Umbraco v4.0.1 and higher.

    Screenshots with download links to package and sources are here.

    Community project page is here

    Fell free in your feedback.

    PS. Tested for Umbraco v4.0.1 and v4.0.2.1 (Doesn't work in v 4.0.0 and lower versions)

    Looks really nice! I'll try it out as soon as I find the time for it. Probably this evening.

    Hi, I have been having issues with Media Picker (as standard with umbraco) in that when I view the source of the published page, instead of getting an image all I see is a set of numbers (assume this is the id of the folder/image within the db). I wasn't sure what to do to fix it and came across your media picker with preview. I installed the package and the preview part works just fine but I'm still having the same problem as previously in that the image doesn't display in the browser or the source code. Is this a known issue and does anyone know of a fix to resolve it? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    this is standard behaviour of umbraco. A mediapicker returns a media-ID if you just display that in the template. To get the actual image, you must use something like this:

    <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="mediaItem" xslt="concat('&lt;img src=&quot;',umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile'], '&quot; /&gt;')" xsltDisableEscaping="true"/>

    More info about that here: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/templates/umbracoitem-element/inline-xslt

    HTH,

    PeterD

    Hi Peter, thanks so much for the advice, it worked a treat. I'm new to Umbraco so guessing therefore I've got a lot of reading to do :)

    I'm having the same issue in 4.5.2, js error with the modal window appearing but just hangs when I attempt to pick a file and there is no preview.

    Has it been tested in 4.5.2 and has anybody got it working?

    Regards,

    Naseem
