Not sure what the problem is, but the problem with dynamics (rather than typed) is you're never sure on the type of your properties. Using typed will mean the code gets less confused, e.g.:

Line 37:        var Slide = Umbraco.TypedContent(slideId);
Line 38:        var ImagePath = Umbraco.Media(Slide.GetPropertyValue<int>("image")).Url;
Line 39:        var Text = Umbraco.Content(Slide.GetPropertyValue<int>("text"));
Line 40:        var Link = Umbraco.Content(Slide..GetPropertyValue<int>("linkTo"));

Hi David

That wasn't the problem I guess – it didn't help :-/ But THX for your time!

It says: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper.Media(params int[])' and 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper.Media(params string[])'

And it happened out of the blue – suddenly it won't get the image path. It has no problem looping all added "slides"... but an error occurs on line 38 – imagePath...

Heres the full code...

        <div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">

          <ol class="carousel-indicators hidden-xs">
@{
    var slidesArr = CurrentPage.slides.ToString().Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.None);
    int countIt = 0;

    foreach(var slideId in slidesArr){

    if (countIt == 0) {
            <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
                } else {
            <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="@countIt"></li>
                }
        countIt++;
    }
}
          </ol>


<!-- Wrapper for slides -->
          <div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">

@{
    int countItem = 1;

    foreach(var slideId in slidesArr){

        var Slide = Umbraco.Content(slideId);
        var ImagePath = Umbraco.Media(Slide.image).Url;
        var Text = Umbraco.Content(Slide.text);
        var Link = Umbraco.Content(Slide.linkTo);

        var LinkUrl = Link.Url;

        if (countItem == 1) {

            <div class="item active"><a href="@LinkUrl">
              <img src="@ImagePath" alt="...">
              <div class="carousel-caption">
                @Slide1.text
              </div></a>
            </div>

                } else {

        <div class="item"><a href="@LinkUrl">
              <img src="@ImagePath" alt="...">
              <div class="carousel-caption">
                @Slide1.text
              </div></a>
            </div>

            }
        countItem++;
    }

}
</div>

Is that a typo on the

var Slide1 = Umbraco.Content(slideId);

Shouldn't that be Slide?

I've just tried to change it to:

var Slide = Umbraco.Content(slideId);
var ImagePath = Umbraco.Media(Slide.image.ToString()).Url;
var Text = Umbraco.Content(Slide.text.ToString());
var Link = Umbraco.Content(Slide.linkTo.ToString());

This doesn't give an error, and it runs through alle slides. But there are no content in @ImagePath, @LinkUrl, @Slide.text

Hi Jon. The problem is that the UmbracoHelper method Umbraco.Media() method excepts both an integer parameter representation of the id, as well as a string representation. You are passing in a dynamic object, therefor the call gets ambingous.

Either parse it as an integer with Umbraco.Media(Int32.Parse(Slide.image)) or ToString() it like Umbraco.Media(Slide.image.ToString()). Off corse you need to check before the it has a value with

if(Slide.HasValue("image"))

Best of luck to you!! Take care!

I've worked my way back to see where it fails. It seems that Slide never gets defined. I am not able to print @Slide – but Im able to print @SlideId.

So my guess is that its in this line somethings wrong?

var Slide = Umbraco.Content(slideId);

You need to confirm what type slideId actually is. If you output @slideId.GetType() then you're looking for this to be a string or an int for your code to work.

Depending on your installed packages and code, it might return something different.

Hi Jon. Is it possible that you might have forgotten to publish the Slide after selecting the SliteItems? Easy mistake. Always double check if the nodes are published when you are having problems.

If you are sure however that you had published, keep an extra eye out if this happens again, then it might be a bug.

Glad it worked out for you anyway!

Take care!!
