    reading content picker property in Umbraco 8.

    Hi,

    I followed the below url and could not read content picker. Does Umbraco 8 support content picker?

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/content-picker/

    @{
        IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("contentPicker"); //contentPicker is the alias name
        if (typedContentPicker != null)
        {
            <p>@typedContentPicker.Name</p>
        }
    }

    Hello, Nagarjun

    Get the value of content picker property, To use the ID on your page, you need to write some code similar to

    For content:

    @{ var page = Umbraco.TypedContent(1234); }
    
    <h3>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("propertyAlias") </h3>
    
    @foreach (var child in page.Children) { <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a> }
    

    For Images:

    @{
    var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(<ID>);
    var mediaUrl = mediaItem.Url;
    }
    

    See

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/querying/umbracohelper/#working-with-media

    for more details on this.

    Hi Nagarjun,

    You code seems correct. Do you get any errors ?

    And what do you see if you change the code to this :

    @{
        IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("contentPicker"); //contentPicker is the alias name
        if (typedContentPicker != null)
        {
            <p>@typedContentPicker.Name</p>
        }
    else {
    <p>No content found from picker</p>
    }
    }

    Hi Dave,

    Right now, it is not entering into if condition. it always returns null. I use version 8.6.4

    I used sample site that comes with umbraco site and tried to add 'contact' page as content picker in blog page.

    Hi,

    Yes, Umbraco 8 supports content picker.

    Check please that you really have that value, property alias and are you using content picker as datatype?

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi

    Apologies for bringing up this thread but I too used the above link.

    What I am attempting to do is use the content picker where I select a node under the administration area.

    I'm my razor file I am attempting to get the node I selected above.

    Does anyone have a working example?
