i have a Razor macro that iterates through all child pages to display news items on a page. Each item has a media picker image which i want to display.

i cannot obtain the url for the media as the umbracofile property returns an empty string. i have downloaded the patch mentioned here http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30778 but unfortunately as i am new to Umbraco i have no idea how to apply this or if in fact this will fix it.

Any help would be greatly apprerciated.

the code for my macro is below.

    @{
        @* -- Setup a counter variable for position -- *@
        var position = 1;
    }
    @* -- List children pages from the current page (aka Model) -- *@
    @foreach (var page in @Model.Children.Where("umbracoNaviHide != true"))
    {
       
        <div id="mainColumnNews">
            <h2>@page.MediaById(@page.newsImage).umbracoFile</h2>
            <img  src="@page.MediaById(@page.newsImage).umbracoFile" alt="@page.newsTitle" style="width:270px;border-width:0px;" />
            <span>
                @* -- If the page is an EventItem then display the date from the property alias 'eventDate' if it is not empty -- *@
                @if (page.NodeTypeAlias == "EventItem" && page.eventDate.ToString() != "")
                {
                <h2>
                    <span>@page.date.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")</span> -
                    <span>@page.newsTitle </span>                 
                </h2>
                }
                else
                {
                <h2>
                    <span>@page.CreateDate.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")</span> -
                    <span>@page.newsTitle </span>                 
                </h2>
                }
            </span>
           
           
            @{
                var bodyText         = @page.newsText.ToString();
                var bodyTextNoHtml   = umbraco.library.StripHtml(bodyText);
                var bodyTextTrunc    = umbraco.library.TruncateString(bodyTextNoHtml, 100, "...");
            }

            <p>
                <span>
                @bodyText
            </span>               
            </p>
        </div>
       
        @* -- After every 3rd item insert a <br/> -- *@
        if (position % 3 == 0)
        {
            <br class="clearBoth"/>
        }
       
        @* -- Increase the position counter by 1 -- *@
        position++;
    }
