Hi Carl

Here's a pointer to get you started:

http://wifi.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/5238-List-all-images-in-a-media-folder-using-XSLT

/Finn

Carl,

you can use inline xslt in your template to show the image:

<umbraco:Item runat="server" 
  field="bannerImage" 
  xslt="concat('&lt;img src=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile'], '&quot; /&gt;')"

Hope this helps.

Regards,

/Dirk

Hi Josh

That's great - it's 99% of what I want. I'm trying to find a way of using a property in the Macro though so that I can set one of the properties (mediaID) using a media picker on the template.

Essentially what I have is below - the first line is the media picker with a static media ID, but is there any way to get the bannerImage field into that Macro

<!-- Banner Image Macro -->
<umbraco:Macro mediaId="1079" style="" Alias="MediaImage" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

<umbraco:Item runat="server" field="bannerImage"/>

Thanks for your help - I'm pretty new at all this, but enjoying the exp so far

Carl

Hi All

I found an anwer - it is indeed possible.

http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/macro-parameters-syntax/advanced-parameter-syntax

Essentially you use "the Bracket syntax" - live the name. So the macro would become

<!-- Banner Image Macro -->
<umbraco:Macro mediaId="[$bannerImage]" style="" Alias="MediaImage" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

Where bannerImage was a page property for a media picker

thnks for quick reply. now im doing that..

Hi,

You're close, the issue is that you are using some of the old schema syntax (data [@alias....]) to retrieve the umbracoFile property, instead use:

      <img src="{$image/umbracoFile}" alt="{$image/@nodeName}"></img>

Also, FYI, you should replace 'true' with true(), the GetMedia function is meant to accept a bool and I think if you pass a string it always evaluates to true.

Thanks Tom for your reply,

I already test it like you said and like http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/getmedia

But like that i get: Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\BindLogo.xslt

I put

<textarea>
 <xsl:copy-of select="$image/umbracoFile"/>
</textarea>

Gives me in the textarea: <umbracoFile>~/media/366/logo.png</umbracoFile>

Try wrapping your GetMedia call in a test to verify $logoid has a value - otherwise you can get a parsing error when saving since it tries to test your XSLT but doesn't have a value, ex:

<xsl:if test="$logoid &gt; 0">
 <xsl:variable name="image" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($logoid,true())"/>
 <img src="{$image/umbracoFile}" alt="{$image/@nodeName}"></img>
</xsl:if>

See this blog post for more info also:  http://blog.leekelleher.com/2010/08/11/how-to-use-umbraco-library-getmedia-in-xslt-for-umbraco-v4-5/

I saw that blog post too :) and tryed the example but still getting: Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\BindLogo.xslt.

If i remove the

{$image/umbracoFile} 

from src="" and it display the tag img only with the logo alt text

if i put src="{$image/umbracoHeight}" it works and i get the height.

Its strange not working with umbracoFile.

I could be anything else besides the xslt?

I have umbraco v 4.7.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4281.20201)

Hey Pedro,

It might be more useful to post your whole xslt.

Rich

Hi Rich, this is my xslt

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

      <xsl:variable name="image" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($logoid, false())"/>
      <img alt="{$image/@nodeName}" src="{$image/umbracoFile}" />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hey Pedro,

I think this line is your problem

select="/macro/LogoID/Image/@id"/>

select="/macro/LogoID"/>

Rich

Rich, why this could be the problem?

I saw that the other example dont have it like mine xslt but that gives me the id of the media file, logoid will get 1149 , because i need it for the GetMedia().

My problem is using src="{$image/umbracoFile}

I think he's using the mediaCurrent parameter for LogoID which is why he's using /Image/@id

Really since you are using mediaCurrent you don't need to use GetMedia, the media's XML is already there in the macro parameter, you can just do

<img src="{/macro/LogoID/Image/umbracoFile}"/>

or

<xsl:variable name="image" select="/macro/LogoID/Image"/>
<img src="{$image/umbracoFile}"/>

But theoretically your code should work anyway.  I don't know why you'd be getting a parsing error, I pasted the code here and it's fine...hmm.

-Tom

Hey Pedro,

So the ID of your image file node is 1149?

I can't see where your error is, but what happens if you use this code

Posted at the same time as Tom, hopefully one of the posts should help you.

Rich

okay.. it has been ages since the last post. but i think i just had the same problem like Pedro.

I have a couple of images that were auto-uploaded by LiveWriter which has '~' in umbracoFile element whereas normal uploaded images doesn't. The system is throwing error on this.

I got this resolved by removing the '~' in the xslt.

Mine is running on umbraco.4.7.1, blog4umbraco.

<xsl:value-of select="Exslt.ExsltStrings:replace(umbraco.library:GetMedia(ThumbnailImage, false())/umbracoFile,'~','')" /

is working on a reply...
