Hi, on the homepage of my Umbraco v8 website I want to show a list of childnodes from a given parentnode, these items are jobopenings. Each of those childnodes have a property of the type Media. I am having a hard time displaying the image of the childnode.

This is what I've tried so far:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@{
        var jobOpenings = Umbraco.Content(Guid.Parse("09fdad92-488c-474f-a8d9-77dfe5f4bd65"))
        .Children("jobopening")
        .Where(x => x.IsPublished())
        .Where(x => x.IsVisible())
        .Where(x => x.HasProperty("showOnHomepage"))
        .Where(x => (bool)x.GetProperty("showOnHomepage").Value())
        .OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);
}
foreach (var jobOpening in jobOpenings)
{
    //Title shows up
    @jobOpening .Value("title")

    //The following two lines both result in the text "Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels.Image"
    @jobOpening .GetProperty("image").GetValue();
    @jobOpening .Value("image");
}

What is the correct way to show the image?

Hey Bunnynut,

Okay so I would do something like this

//This is using Models builder models by the way
foreach(JobOpening jobOpening in jobOpenings) 
{
     <h2> @jopOpening.Title</h2>
     if(jobOpening.Image != null)
     {
         <img src="@jobOpening.Image.Url"/> 
         //Alternatively use .GetCropUrl() instead of .Url and specify the crop to display
     }
}
