    Image Cropper (GetCropUrl) issues

    I'm following through the Umbraco 8 Foundations class workbook and I'm encountering some issues.

    Summary - Exercise 6, page 36: I created 3 crop sizes as per book and attempted to render images using the following code:

    @if (article.Image != null) { var cropUrl = Url.GetCropUrl(article.Image, "Grid", false);

    }

    Nothing is displayed. I have been following the book to the letter. The images are there and display properly without the image cropper using style="background-image: url('@article.Image.Url')"

    Thanks for the assistance. Bill Even CTG

    Hi Alex,

    Yes, I have the crop "Grid" set up. Now I am getting this compiler error:

    CS1929: 'UrlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'GetCropUrl'

    Hi Alex,

    Here's the template code:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<ContentModels.NewsArea>

    @using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels; @{ Layout = "childPage.cshtml"; var tag = Request.QueryString["tag"];

    var articles = (tag != null)
                ? Umbraco.TagQuery.GetContentByTag(tag).OfType<NewsArticle>()
                :Model
                    .Children<NewsArticle>()
                    .OrderByDescending(x => x.CreateDate);

var tags = Umbraco.TagQuery.GetAllTags();

    }

    <div class="container">

    <div class="col-md-9">

        <div class="container">
            <!-- Start of news article listing -->
            <div class="articles col-md-9">

               @foreach (var article in articles)
               {
               <a href="@article.Url" class="article article-with-image">
                    <div class="article-info">

                    <div class="article-image" style="background-image: url('@cropUrl')"></div>

                    }

                </a>
               }
            </div>
            <!-- End of news article listing -->
             <div class="col-md-3">

    Hi William

    Use this code:

    var cropUrl = article.GetCropUrl("Grid");

    Hi Alex. No, that didn't work either. I'm trying a different tutorial and working through it to see if I missed something fundamental.

    Thanks, Bill
