    Pick up media folder dynamically

    Hello

    I am trying to loop through a media folder and display the images on the page.

    Does anyone know how I can replace the hardcoded folder id with that set by the user in the "Content" section using the "Standard Media Picker"?

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
    @{
        Layout = "_Layout.cshtml";
    }
    @{
      var gallery = new umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicMedia(1063);
    }


    @foreach (dynamic item in gallery.Children.Items)
     {

                    @item.name

     }

     

     

    Thanks Paul

    Hi Paul,

    You could check if the Media Picker holds a value, if so then use it numerical value in MediaById.

    if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.MediaPickerAlias)){
     var gallery = @Model.MediaById(Model.MediaPickerAlias);
      foreach(dynamic item in gallery.Children){
        @item.Name
       }
    }

    Hope this helps

    Fuji

    Hey Fuji

    Thanks for the reply! I've added the code but get this error below, am i missing a @inherits maybe?

    Error:

    CS1061: 'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel' does not contain a definition for 'MediaById' and no extension method 'MediaById' accepting a first argument of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
    Line 5:  
Line 6:  if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.MediaPickerAlias)){
Line 7: var gallery = @Model.MediaById(Model.MediaPickerAlias); Line 8:    foreach(dynamic item in gallery.Children){
Line 9:      @item.Name

    Hi Paul,

    Try using this code in your template where you are planning to add this functionality or may be just create a new cshtml file from the developers section.


    @{
    if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.MediaPickerAlias)){
     var gallery =@Model.MediaById(Model.MediaPickerAlias);
      foreach(dynamic item in gallery.Children){
        @item.Name
       }
      }
    }
