For the site im using right now im using media picker since it felt better if the client coud just upload the images they want and pick em when needed. But i guess it kinda depends on when and where.
Only crappy thing about media picker is that when u choose the image you do not see thumbnails in the image list.
U dont have to be able to pick the thumbnail image. U can always use this in XSL:
The same thing can be achieved from codebehind.
The only time there is a problem with mediapicker, as I see it, is in the tinymce editor where the user only can choose the default image when inserting an image. If the image is supersize in the original it doesnt matter if u scale the width or height, since it still is as heavy when loading on the page.
Is there any solution to this?
I posted also another question which is the following problem:
[quote]
I want to list all the product items on the Product category 1 which are in it as an thumbnail. Every Product Item got an image.
I use the standard XSLT macro which is List Subpages as Thumbnail but it doesnt work and I don't see what i'm doing wrong.
When I use this i get an image with an red cross thrue it and when i'm looking tot the source code i see that the image url is to the current product category folder instead of the media folder.
Displaying images, use the media picker or upload property?
Hi guys,
Which property you suggest form displaying images? Should I use the upload or the media picker property.
Is it also true that when I use the upload property the images are not available in the media picker?
Thanks
Danny

Hi Froad,

My site structure is:
+ Products
+- Product category 1
--- Product item 1
--- Product item 2
--- Product item 3
+- Product category 2
--- Product item 1
--- Product item 2
--- Product item 3
And the XSLT code is:
Code:
]>
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">
When I use this i get an image with an red cross thrue it and when i'm looking tot the source code i see that the image url is to the current product category folder instead of the media folder.
Please can someone help me with this?
Thanks
