Hi Mark,

Something like this:

@{
    var myMediaFolder = Umbraco.Media(1234);
    foreach (var mediaItem in myMediaFolder.Children)      
    {
        <li><a href="@mediaItem.Url">@mediaItem.Name</a></li>
    }  
}

If you have media picker to select the folder then change 2nd line to:

var myMediaFolder = Umbraco.Media(CurrentPage.myMediaPickerAlias);

I hope that makes sense?

yes thats great, thanks...

just a quick question, can i use the getCropUrl (imagecropper) extension with this format as i can when accessing a property value ?

Sure, if your Cropper has been put in place of the default Upload on the Image media type, then:

@{
    var myMediaFolder = Umbraco.Media(1234);
    foreach (var mediaItem in myMediaFolder.Children)
    {
        <img href="@mediaItem.GetCropUrl("cropAlias")" />
    }
}

Hi Guys,

Here is a good method I use to firstly to get the containing media folder by name. You can then look through the children.

public static IPublishedContent GetFolderByName(string name, int? parentId = null)
        {
            var umbracoHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

            if(parentId != null)
            {
                umbracoHelper.TypedMedia(parentId).Children("Folder").Where(x => x.Name == name).FirstOrDefault();
            }

            return umbracoHelper.TypedMediaAtRoot().DescendantsOrSelf("Folder").Where(x => x.Name == name).FirstOrDefault();
        }

Then call the method here

var mediaFolder = MediaManager.GetFolderByName("Some Folder Name");
            foreach (var mediaItem in mediaFolder.Children)
            {
                //do whatever you want with the media here
            }

is working on a reply...
