    ColorPicker returns JSON in Razor template

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    I'm running 7.15.4, and I have ColorPicker property that returns JSON

    { "label": "White", "value": "ffffff" }

    According to the documentation Model.PropertyName should return the hexValue, but in this case I just get the JSON.

    Is there a workaround ?

    Hi Sebastian

    There are a few inconsistencies with the colour picker and the last few releases of Umbraco 7...

    I had similar difficulties ended up with this

    //  var textColour = slide.HasValue("textColour") ? slide.GetPropertyValue<ColorPickerValueConverter.PickedColor>("textColour") : default(ColorPickerValueConverter.PickedColor);
                    var textColourRaw = slide.GetPropertyValue<string>("textColour");
                    var textColour = !String.IsNullOrEmpty(textColourRaw) ? JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(textColourRaw) : default(JObject);
                    var textColourClass = "text-white";
                    if (textColour != null && textColour["label"].ToString() != "White")
                    {
                        textColourClass = "text-carousel-" + textColour["label"].ToString().ToUrlSegment();
                    }

    But that was in 7.14

    The commented out line that uses the property value converter may just work in 7.15

    Regards

    Marc

    That's excellent Marc, it put me in the right direction and solved my problem.

    I still couldn't use the property value converter, but I might have tried the wrong way :)
