    GetMedia Not pulling Image Every Time

    I have an XSLT carousel that pulls an image from a property (featuredImage) of a newsArticle document type. Sometimes I am noticing, that I get the "Hello World" image instead. What could be causing this? Here is my xslt that gets the image from the Media Library:

    <img src="/ImageGen.ashx?image={umbraco.library:GetMedia(featuredImage, 1)/umbracoFile}&amp;height=325" />

    I've tried using 

    umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/featuredImage, 1)/umbracoFile

    since I am using a Media Picker to select "featuredImage", but the script won't save. I am using Umbraco 6.1 and webforms.

    Hi Steve,

    Maybe you need to ensure that the user has picked a image in the media picker.

    Could you please try this piece of code, and see how it goes.

    <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/featuredImage, 0)" />

 <xsl:if test="$media">
    <xsl:variable name="url" select="$media/umbracoFile" />
        <img>
            <xsl:attribute name="src">
                <xsl:text>/ImageGen.ashx?image=</xsl:text>
                <xsl:value-of select="$media"/>
                <xsl:text>&amp;height=325</xsl:text>
            </xsl:attribute>
        </img>
 </xsl:if>

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Thanks Dennis! Your code works if you change this:

        <xsl:if test="$media">
        <xsl:variable name="url" select="$media/umbracoFile" />
        <img>
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:text>/ImageGen.ashx?image=</xsl:text>
            <xsl:value-of select="$url" />
            <xsl:text>&amp;height=325</xsl:text>
            </xsl:attribute>
        </img>
    </xsl:if>

    Thanks again!

    Ahh, I think you meant to set the value-of select within the attribute to "$url".

    Hi Steve,

    Yes of course a small mistake by me.

    The most important, thing here is that you resolve the issue, and get it working.
