Hi Martin,

Could you please post a little more of your code, especially you loop?

Hi Jeavon,

I'm using the Archetype package with the following view. I have a dropdown datatype for the value "headingLevel".

Thanks

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@using Archetype.Models;
@{
    var fieldset = (ArchetypeFieldsetModel)ViewData["fieldset"];
}
<div>

    @foreach (var nestedFs in fieldset.GetValue<ArchetypeModel>("imageBannerItem"))
    {


    var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(nestedFs.GetValue("bgImage"));

    <div class="img-banner @fieldset.GetValue("bannerHeight") @fieldset.GetValue("messagePosition")" style="background-image:url('@image.Url')">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="ten columns centered text-center">

                @foreach (var subnestedFs in nestedFs.GetValue<ArchetypeModel>("heading"))
                {
                    <@subnestedfs.getvalue("headinglevel") class="[email protected]("headingSize")">@subnestedFs.GetValue("headingMessage")</@subnestedfs.getvalue("headinglevel")>
                }

            </div>
        </div> 
    </div>

    }

</div>

Interesting idea, I think Dan's suggestion looks spot on!

Thanks Guys, that worked great.

Hi guys, sorry to come back to this. How would I implement an if statement for each of the values?

Thanks

Hi Martin,

Assuming you want to use the 'headinglevel' property for your if statement, you could write something like the following:

@{
    if (subnestedFs.GetValue("headinglevel").ToString().Equals("h1"))
    {
        // ....
    } 
    else 
    {
        // ....
    }
}

Thanks, Dan.

Hi Dan, thanks for replying. I'm looking to set a default value for each of the fields.

More specifically, i'm trying to pass a background image into a the style attribute. If an image is selected, all is fine and its showing. Without an image I get an error.

Any help would be grateful.

Martin

var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(fieldset.GetValue("backgroundImage"));

@Html.Raw(string.Format("<div class=\"img-banner {0} {1}\" style=\"background-image:url('{2}')\">",
                 fieldset.GetValue("bannerHeight"),
                 fieldset.GetValue("headingSize"),
                 image.Url
            ))

Hi Martin,

You'll probably want to check if the background image is null and has an image first:

var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(fieldset.GetValue("backgroundImage"));

if (image != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(image.Url))
{
    @Html.Raw(string.Format("<div class=\"img-banner {0} {1}\" style=\"background-image:url('{2}')\">",
             fieldset.GetValue("bannerHeight"),
             fieldset.GetValue("headingSize"),
             image.Url
        ))
}
else
{
    @Html.Raw(string.Format("<div class=\"img-banner {0} {1}\">",
             fieldset.GetValue("bannerHeight"),
             fieldset.GetValue("headingSize")
        ))
}

Thanks, Dan.

Thanks Dan, I seem to get the following yellow screen.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The value of parameter 'id' must be either a string or an integer

Hi Martin,

I'm guessing the return type of GetValue() is an object so try changing line 12 to:

var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(fieldset.GetValue("backgroundImage").ToString());

Thanks, Dan.

Sorry to pester you Dan, but changing line 12 gave me this error.

Thanks again for you help with this.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

ok, ive got it working. Thanks for your help Dan.

if(fieldset.HasValue("backgroundImage")) 
{
    var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(fieldset.GetValue("backgroundImage").ToString());

    @Html.Raw(string.Format("<div class=\"img-banner {0} {1}\" style=\"background-image:url('{2}')\">",
     fieldset.GetValue("height"),
     fieldset.GetValue("position"),
     image.Url
    ))
}
else
{
    @Html.Raw(string.Format("<div class=\"img-banner {0} {1}\">",
     fieldset.GetValue("height"),
     fieldset.GetValue("position")
    ))
}

is working on a reply...
