    Get complete listing of all Media files with .doc and .pdf extensions

    I would like to pull a list of all the Media files with .doc and .pdf extensions using a Razor Macro in Umbraco 6.1.6, but I am not quite sure of how to accomplish this.

    Could someone make some suggestions? Thanks! Here is what I have so far, but it fails with errors.

    @{

     var MediaFolder = Library.NodeById(Parameter.mediaFolder);

     var media = Model.MediaById(MediaFolder);
    var files = media.Children;
}   
@{
     foreach(var file in files)
     {
         var fileUrl = file.umbracoFile; 
        if(file.umbracoExtension == "pdf")
        {
      <a href="@fileUrl">
         @file.Name @file.umbracoExtension
      </a>
         }

    if(file.umbracoExtension == "doc")
        {
         <a href="@fileUrl">
         @file.Name @file.umbracoExtension
      </a>
            }
         else
         {
             <p>not a document</p>
         }
        }
}

    Hi Steve,

    I think something like this will do what you are after.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@{ var mediaId = Model.MacroParameters["mediaFolder"]; }
@if (mediaId != null)
{
    @* Get all the media item associated with the id passed in *@
    var media = Umbraco.Media(mediaId);
    var selection = media.Children();

    if (selection.Any())
    {
        <ul>
            @foreach (var item in selection)
            {

                    if(item.umbracoExtension == "pdf"){
                        <li>
                            <a href="@item.Url">
                                @item.Name @item.umbracoExtension
                            </a>
                        </li>
                    }

                    if(item.umbracoExtension == "doc"|| item.umbracoExtension == "docx"){
                        <a href="@item.Url">
                                @item.Name @item.umbracoExtension
                        </a>
                    }
            }
        </ul>
    }
}

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Thanks for your suggestion Dennis, but I am using Webforms, not using MVC

    Hi Steve,

    I have tested this on a Umbraco 6.1.6 If you go to developer section and create a partial view marco file, then you can use the code snippet from my previous post.

    When I try to create a partial view like you suggest, I get a system error within the backend.

    Using my original code I can get the top level media items, but nothing else. If I change my files variable to be media.Descendants() the script won't even load. What's up with that?
