    Using the new Image Cropper in legacy Razor MacroScripts

    Hi everyone,

    I'm still getting to grips with Umbraco 7.1 and I still work a lot with the legacy Razor MacroScripts. My biggest problem is rendering image crops with the new image cropper inside a legacy Razor script, does anyone know if this is this actually possible? I have set up the new image cropper correctly (and managed to render crops within a Partial View macro), but using similar code in a legacy Razor script does not produce anything!

    My other attempted solution was to create a Partial View macro specifically for image crops, passing through an image id from a legacy Razor script, but I can't seem to render out a Partial View inside a legacy script at all! Is this also not possible?

    Kind Regards

    Hi Pronto,

    While I would strongly urge you to refactor your MacroScripts to Partial View Macros, it should be possible to get crops using something like this:

    @using Newtonsoft.Json
@using Umbraco.Web
@using Umbraco.Web.Models
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{
    var sidebarImage = CurrentModel.GetPropertyValue("sidebarImage");
    var imageCrops = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ImageCropDataSet>(sidebarImage);
    var myImageUrl = imageCrops.Src;     
}
<img src="@myImageUrl.GetCropUrl(imageCropperValue:sidebarImage, cropAlias:"myCropAlias", useCropDimensions:true)"/>

    Hi Jeavon,

    Thanks for the reply, I think I'm just going to take your advice and drop the legacy macros completely!

    Kind Regards

    Is worth doing and there aren't that many changes really, you will see a performance improvement especially for collections like Descendants
