multimediapicker in a macro umbraco 8

Hi, I'm struggling with the multiplemediapicker within a macro for umbraco version 8+. Has anyone got a code example of how to render out the filetype, url, and name. I'm trying to setup a macro with a multiple document selector for downloadable files. Many thanks, Nick

Hi Nick,

Which version of Umbraco you are using? In Umbraco 8.4.0 I have seen multi media picker available as macro parameter. Similar topic discussion can be found here https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/5335.

Thanks

It's Umbraco 8.0 through to 8.3 (various different projects at different stages of development)

I managed to work out a solution to this (while developing something else)...

This presents a block presentation with an icon image depending on file type (plus a catch-all) there is also a custom parameter of description added to the media library.

@{ string MediaItems = (Model.MacroParameters["MediaItems"]).ToString(); string[] split = MediaItems.Split(',');

  var fileType = "";
  var fileTypeShort = "";
  var fileImage = "";

      foreach (string item in split)
      {
          var MediaItem = Umbraco.Media(item);

          fileType = MediaItem.Value("umbracoExtension").ToString();

          fileTypeShort = fileType;
          if (fileType.Length > 3){
              fileTypeShort = fileType.Substring(0,3);
          }

          switch(fileTypeShort)
          {
              case "pdf":
                  fileImage = "/media/hc3hugna/pdf-512.png";
                  break;
              case "doc":
                  fileImage = "/media/2e3j4t2d/doc-512.png";
                  break;
              case "xls":
                  fileImage = "/media/qo1ofzed/xls-512.png";
                  break;
              case "ppt":
                  fileImage = "/media/agkeop1t/ppt-512.png";
                  break;
              case "png":
                  fileImage = MediaItem.Url;
                  break;
              case "jpg":
                  fileImage = MediaItem.Url;
                  break;
              case "eps":
                  fileImage = "/media/zavk1qr1/eps-512.png";
                  break;
              case "ai":
                  fileImage = "/media/qx2lifel/ai-512.png";
                  break;
              default:
                  fileImage = "/media/3i4dy4jh/other-512.png";
                  break;
          }
          <a href="@MediaItem.Url" class="btn-link" target="_blank">
              <div class="downloadItem downloadType@(MediaItem.Value("umbracoExtension")) row">
                  <div class="col-4" style="text-align: center; ">
                      <img style="background: #efefef; max-width: 100%; max-height:100px; object-fit: contain;" src="@fileImage" />
                  </div>
                  <div class="col-8">
                      <p><strong>@MediaItem.Name</strong> (@(MediaItem.Value("umbracoExtension"))) </p>
                      <p>@MediaItem.Value("description") </p>

                  </div>
              </div>
          </a>
      }

}
