    Inherit Site Logo

    Templates and document types
    Umbraco 7

    Hi

    I'm looking for a way to inherit a site logo from the homepage of my site.

    So I set the logo through the hompage and all the sub pages inherit the logo unless it's changed on one of the subpages. Anyone know a way of doing this.

    Thanks

    Hi David,

    If you are using the media picker to pick the logo for the website something like this should do it,

    If you are using dynamic Razor use the below code.

    @{      
    if (CurrentPage.HasValue("mainImage", true)){                                         
        var dynamicMediaItem = Umbraco.Media(CurrentPage.mainImage);
        <img src="@dynamicMediaItem.umbracoFile" alt="@dynamicMediaItem.Name"/>
    }
}

    If you are using strongly typed Razor the code should look like this.

    @{
    if(Model.Content.HasValue("mainImage", true)){
        var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("mainImage")); 
        <img src="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile")" alt="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("Name")"/>    
    }   
}

    Remember to change the "mainImage" so it match your property alias for your media picker,

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hello Dennis

    This nearly works.

    The image works fine if I add it to the pages but with no image added it isn't inheriting.

    It gives this error.

    Server Error in '/' Application. The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper.Media(params int[])' and 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper.Media(params string[])' Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Source Error:

    Line 435: var dynamicMediaItem = Umbraco.Media(CurrentPage.mainImage); Line 436: @dynamicMediaItem.Name Line 437: }

    Any ideas

    thanks.

    Hi David,

    I made a little mistake. The code below should do what you are after.

    @{
    if(Model.Content.HasValue("mainImage", true)){
        var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("mainImage",true)); 
        <img src="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile")" alt="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("Name")"/>    
    }   
}

    So if the current page have attached an image / logo then it will use this one for the page, If not, then it will go up in the content tree until it finds a page with the field "mainImage" and this field has a value.

    Hope this helps, and make sense.

    /Dennis

    Been awhile since I have done vb.net but this looks like it should be correct.

    @If Model.Content.HasValue("mainImage", true) Then
    Dim mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("mainImage",true))
    <img src="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("umbracoFile")" alt="@mediaItem.GetPropertyValue("Name")"/> 
End If
