    linking a file from media picker

    I'm trying to insert a link to a (video-) file. The user uploads the file into the media section, and selects it with a media picker. I use this in the template:

    <a href='<umbraco:Item field="videoNode" runat="server"  />'>
            <umbraco:Item field="#Download" runat="server" />
    </a>

    This gets me the media node ID - But now...how is it possible to get the relative url based on this media node ID? I tried this:

    <a href='<umbraco:Item field="videoNode" runat="server" xslt="umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />'>
            <umbraco:Item field="#Download" runat="server" />
    </a>

    but it doesn't work...

    Sandro,

    use this tutorial on how to configure your media item in your template.

    <umbraco:Item runat="server" 
  field="mediaItem" 
  xslt="concat('&lt;img src=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile'], '&quot; /&gt;')" 
  xsltDisableEscaping="true" />

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Hi Dirk,

    I knew the tutorial and I tried it about an hour ago. I tried it again, and now it works :O

    It looks (baah! ugly!) like this now:

    <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="videoNode" xslt="concat('&lt;a href=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile'], '&quot;&gt;')" xsltDisableEscaping="true" />
    <umbraco:Item field="#Download" runat="server" /></a>

    At least it finally works. Thank You!
