    Dynamic URL for link using Partial View Macro with Content Picker Parameter

    I am currently using the Content Picker parameter in Umbraco 7.4.1. Like a previous issue I had, I was able to do this on U7.10, but using that same method didnt get me those results on this current instance. I tried 3 different ways and searched multiple forums for an answer and I can't seem to get it to work.

    Attempt 1 (Works on U7.10, but doesn't load on 7.4):

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    @using Umbraco.Core.Models
    @using Umbraco.Web
    @using Umbraco.Web.Extensions
    
    
     @{
      IPublishedContent linkedNode = Udi.Parse(Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"].ToString()).ToPublishedContent();
    }
    
    <a href="@linkedNode.Url" class="">button text</a> 
    

    Attempt 2 (Error on 7.4):

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    @using Umbraco.Core.Models
    @using Umbraco.Web
    @using Umbraco.Web.Extensions
    
    
    
    @{
        IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"]);
    }
    
    
    <a href="@test.Url" class="">button text</a> 
    

    Attempt 3:

    <p>@Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"]</p>
    

    This one renders the macro, but only pulls in the node ID number associated with that page on my site.

    Any idea why this wouldn't be working? Thanks in advance!

    What is @Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"] returning?

    Is it an integer (1234) or a UDI (which looks something like umb://document/a3fc5438670444f38ddcc34adbaa44a7) ?

    Hi Mike

    If the node with 4 digits integer exists this code should work on 7.4:

    @{
        IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["myParameter"]);
    }
    

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you. How do I reference this in the html though?

    @{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                <p>@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]</p>
            }
    

    That renders an error. As does this:

    @{
                    IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                    <p>@test.Url</p>
                }
    

    Do I need to reference anything at the top of the Partial Macro as well?

    Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"] - is this media Id?

    If it's media Id you have to use Umbraco.TypedMedia method:

    @{
                    IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedMedia((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                    <p>@test.Url</p>
                }

    This is for a content picker, not media. "greyMedia" was just the alias I gave my parameter.

    The proposed solution did not do the trick either. I am wondering what the issue could be. as a reference, here is the rest of the partial view macro if it helps.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    
    
        <div class="row ltds-media ltds-media--gray ltds-p-md">   
            <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-4">
    
               @{
                    var mediaGrayImgMain = Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaImg"];
                    var mediaItemOne = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaGrayImgMain);
                    <img src=' @mediaItemOne.Url ' class="media-object img-responsive ltds-media_img" alt=' @Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"] '>
                }
    
            </div>
    
           <div class="col-sm-9 col-xs-8 ltds-media_body">
                <h3 class="ltds-media_heading">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"]</h3>
                <p class="ltds-media_text">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaText"]</p>
    
    
                @{
                    IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedMedia((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                    <p>@test.Url</p>
                }
    
    
            </div>
        </div>
    

    Here is a screenshot of the parameters: enter image description here

    All of the other parameters are working except for this one

    What is the error here:

    @{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent((int)Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                <p>@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]</p>

    Can you have a look at Umbraco log? What is the error there?

    Hi Mike

    Try this code:

        @{
            IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
            if (test != null)
            {
                <p>@test.Url</p>
            }
        }

    Well this is quite the annoying issue! It still doesnt work. Here's what I have (for your reference):

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    
    
        <div class="row ltds-media ltds-media--gray ltds-p-md">   
            <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-4">
    
               @{
                    var mediaGrayImgMain = Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaImg"];
                    var mediaItemOne = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaGrayImgMain);
                    <img src=' @mediaItemOne.Url ' class="media-object img-responsive ltds-media_img" alt=' @Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"] '>
                }
    
            </div>
    
           <div class="col-sm-9 col-xs-8 ltds-media_body">
                <h3 class="ltds-media_heading">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaHeader"]</h3>
                <p class="ltds-media_text">@Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaText"]</p>
    
            @{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                if (test != null) {
                    <p>@test.Url</p>
                }
            }
    
            </div>
        </div>
    

    The Macro in Umbraco looks like this: enter image description here

    And on my page, it looks like this: enter image description here

    And on the frontend it renders everything EXCEPT the URL:

    enter image description here

    Anything look out of the ordinary? I am very appreciative of your help on this!

    Try this:

    @{
                IPublishedContent test = Umbraco.TypedContent(Model.MacroParameters["greyMediaUrl"]);
                if (test != null) {
                    <p>@test.Url</p>
                }
            }
    

    TypedContent instead of TypedMedia

    I think this worked. Thank you! I am not sure how resolving the issue works on the forum. Since this last one fixed it, you can edit your original post and I will mark that as correct! thanks again!
