Hi Kate,

I do it this way and the logo is set on the homepage node i my case.

@{
    var imageId =Model.AncestorOrSelf().PageLogo;
    var media =Library.MediaById(imageId);
     <img src="@media.umbracoFile" alt=""/>
}

Have you tried something like this?

<div class="col img-item">
          var selectedMedia1 = Model.AncestorOrSelf().photo1;
          <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="@selectedMedia1.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
            
<div>

Hi again Kate,

I also just testet with this version. And it also seems to work with images.

<divclass="col img-item">
         var selectedMedia1 = Model._photo1;
         <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="@selectedMedia1.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
</div>

As Jeavon describes in his post in this topic.

Hi Dennis

I can't get it to work :-(

I have tried this:

@{
    var imageId = Model.AncestorOrSelf().photo1;
    var media = Library.MediaById(imageId);
     <img src="@media.umbracoFile" alt=""/>
      <p>Her imageId: @imageId </p>
        <p>Her media: @media </p>
}

I dont get any output from @imageId and @media

I have also tried your other exampel, but no luck. Here I dont get past this line:

@if(Model.HasValue("photo1"))

I can understand this, beacause one the current page there is no content in photo1.

I just saw your comment about: var selectedMedia1 = Model._photo1; and i think you are on the right track :-)
But I get an error:
e:\data\eventureexplore.dk\web\macroScripts\635167820583810946_testerMacro.cshtml(46): error CS0103: The name 'selectedMedia1' does not exist in the current context

<div class="col img-item">
                 var selectedMedia1 = @Model._photo1;
                  <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="@selectedMedia1.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
              </div>

Okay Kate,

I don´t think uppercase should do the difference.

I think I spotted the thing that give you the error. Try to remove the @ sign before Model in the variable. And see if it goes better.

<div class="col img-item">
     var selectedMedia1 = Model._photo1;
     <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="@selectedMedia1.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
</div>

/Dennis

Thanks for your patience

Your last exampel gave me a new error on the page:
Error loading MacroEngine script (file: testerMacro.cshtml)

I just don't understand why I cant write an variable.

Her is my code. maybe you can see what I'm doing wrong.

@* The fun starts here *@
    
  @if(Model.HasValue("_headerProject")){
                
      <div class="destinationProject">
            <div class="cntDestinationProject">
            <h2>
                @Model._headerProject
            </h2>
            <div class="col col1 text-item">
             <h3>@Model._leftColHeader </h3>
                @Model._leftColText
            </div>
                
            <div class="col col2 text-item">
                <h3>@Model._rightColHeader</h3>
                @Model._rightColText
            </div>
             <div class="col img-item">
                  var selectedMedia1 = @Model._photo1;
                  <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="@selectedMedia1.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
              </div>
          
          
              
            </div>
        </div>
  }

Hi Kate,

Try this one:

@*The fun starts here *@
    
  @if(Model.HasValue("_headerProject")){
                
      <div class="destinationProject">
            <div class="cntDestinationProject">
            <h2>
                @Model._headerProject
            </h2>
            <div class="col col1 text-item">
             <h3>@Model._leftColHeader </h3>
                @Model._leftColText
            </div>
                
            <div class="col col2 text-item">
                <h3>@Model._rightColHeader</h3>
                @Model._rightColText
            </div>
             <div class="col img-item">
                  var selectedMedia1 = Model._photo1;
                  <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="@selectedMedia1.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
              </div>
          
          
              
            </div>
        </div>
  }

Just heightligted the difference with bold. I remove the @ sign in the variable.

/Dennis

When I write it like this, it works. But I have to have this ekstra if-sentens

@* The fun starts here *@
    
  @if(Model.HasValue("_headerProject")){
                
      <div class="destinationProject">
            <div class="cntDestinationProject">
            <h2>
                @Model._headerProject
            </h2>
            <div class="col col1 text-item">
             <h3>@Model._leftColHeader </h3>
                @Model._leftColText
            </div>
                
            <div class="col col2 text-item">
                <h3>@Model._rightColHeader</h3>
                @Model._rightColText
            </div>
             <div class="col img-item">
                  @if(Model.HasValue("_headerProject")){
 var selectedMedia1 = @Library.MediaById(Model._photo1);
 <img src="@selectedMedia1.umbracoFile" alt="xx" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
 }
             </div>
          
          
              
            </div>
        </div>
  }

any good explanation??

Nope I don´t have an good explanation for that.

But have you tried to see if you could write it shorter by this:

<div class="col img-item">
     var selectedMedia1 = Model._photo1;
 var media = Library.MediaById(selectedMedia1);
     <img src="@media.umbracoFile" alt="@media.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
</div

Without the if statement. I don´t know if it actually will work.

/Dennis

I have tried that.

I think I have writen something wrong in the beginning af the code. i just cant see what it is.

But thanks for your help. Once again you have gotten me on the right track :-)

You are very welcome Kate,

This I think would work for you. So you could drop the if-statement.

<div class="col img-item">
     var selectedMedia1 = Model._photo1;
  var media = Library.MediaById(selectedMedia1);
     <img src="@media.umbracoFile" alt="@media.Name" class="projectImg1 rotate5deg"/>
</div>

You have to use the library method Library.MediaById when you have with images to do. Then you got the ID of the image, from there you have to use the @umbracoFile, to make it to a path to the image.

/Dennis

Sorry, it still gives me an error:   "The name 'media' does not exist in the current context"

Okay, but good you have found a solution by adding the extra if statement.

But i´m glad that I could help you on the right track even if it took some posts to get on the right track :-)

/Dennis

Thanks again.

if I ever finds out what the right solution is I will post it :-)

is working on a reply...
