Hey everyone!

I'm still new to Umbraco but I've found my way around Surface Controllers.

I have created a SurfaceController which you can see future below. But what I can't figure out is how to grab the URL from an Image Cropper and File Upload, I would normally do something like this: @node.GetCropUrl("uploadImage, "thumbnail");

But that doesn't work inside the controller. How do I achieve this? My end goal is to display the URL in a IMG tag when clicking on a category on this page: http://sp34k.dk/portfolio/vue/ in the description area.

CODE:

SOLUTION: I has help from StackOverflow, It's rather simple. All you have to do is:

1) Add using Umbraco.Web; 2) You can now grap GetCropUrl

Example:

using Umbraco.Web;

namespace Sp34k.Controllers
{
    public class GalleryItem
    {
        public string projectFile { get; set; }
        public string imgPreviewUrl { get; set; }
    }
    public class PortfolioSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        public ActionResult GetCategoryDetails(int id)
    {
        GalleryItem gItem = new GalleryItem();
        var node = Umbraco.TypedContent(id);

   gItem.imgPreviewUrl = node.GetCropUrl("uploadImage", "Thumbnail");

        string file = node["uploadProjectFiles"] != null ? node["uploadProjectFiles"].ToString() : string.Empty;

        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(file))
        {
            gItem.projectFile = file;

        }
        return Json(gItem, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }
}
}
