    Display properties from content selected via "Content Picker" data type

    Hello, I'm trying use the content picker data type on a page and then display custom properties from the selected content on that page. In this particular case I have an image in the selected content that I'm trying to display but it looks as though I only have access to ".Url" and ".Name" when reading the documentation.

    Is it possible to display custom properties on these items?

    Here's my set up:

    var author = Umbraco.TypedContent(CurrentPage.author);
    var authorImageId = Umbraco.Media(author.avatar);
    var authorImageUrl = authorImageId.umbracoFile;

    Hi Brian,

    You are using the dynamic model (CurrentPage) so you need to use the dynamic Content method instead of the typed TypedContent method.

    e.g.

    var author = Umbraco.Content(CurrentPage.author);

    Hey Jeavon, thanks for your quick reply on this. I've tried this and get this error:

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

    Line 77: var author = Umbraco.Content(CurrentPage.author);
    Line 78: var authorImageId = Umbraco.Media(author.avatar); 
    Line 79: var authorImageUrl = authorImageId.umbracoFile;

    Do you see anything else wrong?

    Thanks!

    Actually, nevermind. I had the content named the same as one of my members and had actually chosen the member instead of the content. Thanks for your help.

    Could you try this:

    var author = Umbraco.Content(CurrentPage.author);
    
    <p>@author.avatar</p>
    
    if (author.HasValue("avatar"))
    {
        var authorImageId = Umbraco.Media(author.avatar);
        var authorImageUrl = authorImageId.umbracoFile;
    }
