Hi Dennis

Something went really wrong there!

Ok The plan is to abandon using the Content Editor for the links altogether as it seems to be a bit haywire. So I am going to create a new document type and template to display a list of files which are stored in Media. In Media, I have a folder called Downloads. Under Downloads there are four other folders: Policies, EmployeeInfo, Forms and MotorInfo. In each folder is a list of pdf files for download. I want to display four links on a page to each folder. So I was hoping to do something like:

<li><a href="@Umbraco.NiceUrl(1180)">HPC hes</a></li>   

This does nothing. 1180 is the Id for the Forms folder in Media.

Maybe I should be doing something like:

@foreach(var form in CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("DocumentType == \"pdf\""))

{

• @form.Name

}

I'm not sure how to find the child of Media....

Thanks. Tony

Hi Tony,

This post has been a little mess, so this is the only way that I could reply to you.

But what I understand is that you want to choose a folder from the media library and the list all the files of the type PDF in this.

And then list them in the rich text editor. If this is the case, then I think the code below, should do what you are after.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage


@*
    Macro to display a series of images from a media folder.

    How it works:
        - Confirm the macro parameter has been passed in with a value
        - Loop through all the folder Id's passed in (might be a single item, might be many)
        - Display any individual files, as well as any folders of files

    Macro Parameters To Create, for this macro to work:
    Alias:folderId     Name:Select folder with files    Type:Single Media Picker
*@

@{ var folderId = Model.MacroParameters["folderId"]; 
   var fileExstension = "pdf"; 
 }
@if (folderId != null)
{
    @* Get all the media item associated with the id passed in *@
    var file = Umbraco.Media(folderId);
    var selection = file.Children("File").Where("umbracoExtension == @0",fileExstension);

    if (selection.Any())
    {
        <ul>
            @foreach (var item in selection)
            {
                <li>
                    <a href="@item.umbracoFile">@item.Name</a>
                </li>
            }
        </ul>
    }
}

Hope this helps,
