Hi Claus,

Do you have a link for that Macro code?

Thanks,

Jeavon

Hi Jeavon

I dont have a link to the macro script directly, but its this package:

http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/full-text-search

I've tried this approach as well:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(@node.imageID.ToString()))
{
    dynamic mediaItem = Library.MediaById(@node.imageID);
    <img src="@mediaItem.umbracoFile" alt="@mediaItem.Name" />
}   

Which returns:

<img src="{src: '/media/1029/m_fv.jpg', crops: [
  {
    &quot;alias&quot;: &quot;testcrop&quot;,
    &quot;width&quot;: 300,
    &quot;height&quot;: 300
  }
]}" alt="m_fv.JPG">

Ah ok, think it's this one then?

I would probably rewrite it as a Partial View Macro alternatively there is a solution here for use in a Macro Script.

Jeavon

Yeah, if i knew how ;).

Using your eample from the link above

@using Newtonsoft.Json
@using Umbraco.Web
@using Umbraco.Web.Models
@using System.Xml.XPath
@using Governor.Umbraco.FullTextSearch.Extensions
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

var sidebarImage = node.GetPropertyValue("imageID");
var imageCrops = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ImageCropDataSet>(sidebarImage);

throws an error

@sidebarImage return 2601, so it must be something with JsonConvert

Try like this:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(@node.imageID.ToString()))
{
    var mediaItem = Library.MediaById(node.imageID);
    var imageCrops = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ImageCropDataSet>(mediaItem.umbracoFile.ToString());
}  

We're getting closer :). But now its getting weird :)

<img src="@imageCrops"/>  <p>@imageCrops</p>

Returns

<img src="Umbraco.Web.Models.ImageCropDataSet"> <p>/media/1029/m_fv.jpg</p>

Codegarden Beer Unlocked ;)

And ill try my luck at converting the macro :)

Lol :) Glad you've got it working

I had a quick look and it seems you mainly need to change the many Parameter.property to Model.MacroParameters["property"].ToString() and add the inherits @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

See... I knew it was too good to be true :)

So:

var mediaItem = Library.MediaById(node.imageID);
var imageCrops = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ImageCropDataSet>(mediaItem.umbracoFile.ToString());
<img src="@imageCrops.Src"/>

Gets me the image just fine

Buuuuuuuut how do i get a cropped image? Neither of the following dows the trick:

<img src="@imageCrops.GetResponsiveImageUrl(100, 100)" />
<img src="@imageCrops.Src.GetResponsiveImageUrl(100, 100)" />
<img src="@mediaItem.GetResponsiveImageUrl(100, 100)" />

Ah, now you really are in the realm of needing to convert it to a Partial View Macro. I can think of a potential workaround but really.....????

I tried to convert, but it didnt work.

Have pinged the creator for a partial view macro.

Ok, how about this unnatural thing:

var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
var typedMedia = umbHelper.TypedMedia((int)node.imageID);

<img src="@typedMedia.GetResponsiveImageUrl(100, 100)" />

var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

var typedMedia = umbHelper.TypedMedia((int)node.imageID);

var typedMedia = umbHelper.TypedMedia(node.imageID);

That's good!

Then can't you do:

var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
var typedMedia = umbHelper.TypedMedia(node.imageID);

<img src="@typedMedia.GetResponsiveImageUrl(100, 100)" />

Nope, that throws an error...

It works up to the <img> tag

Ah, you will need a using

@using Slimsy;

Otherwise, could you post the exception?

See, thats the fun part about these macro scripts, they dont post the exception, just:

Error loading MacroEngine script (file: FullTextSearch.cshtml) 

which is pretty useless. And being a frontend, no VS im once again a  bit lost :).

I have these using's:

@using Newtonsoft.Json
@using Umbraco.Web
@using Umbraco.Web.Models
@using System.Xml.XPath
@using Slimsy
@using Governor.Umbraco.FullTextSearch.Extensions
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

but still getting an error...

is working on a reply...
