    Displaying an image outside the page (BLOG)

    Hey guys!

    Im looking for a way to display an article thumbnail in a news item (blog), but no luck so far.

    The article itself display the imagen without a problem using @Umbraco.Field("blogItemImage"), however when I try to call that image from a partial view macro file I get a blank space without the URL.

    The other fields (@page.Name and @page.Url) work great. I've struggling a lot with this, any info would be greatly appreciated!

    BTW: We have to keep using Umbraco 7, unfortunately the client infraestructure is very old.

    Here it is the partial view:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    
    @{
    
    var startNode = Umbraco.Content(1839);
    
    try
    {
    foreach (var page in 
     startNode.Children.Where("Visible").OrderBy("CreateDate desc"))
    {
    
    <div class="col-12 col-md-4">
    <div class="cardBlog rounded" style="background-color:#f4f4f4">
    <div class="card-body nopadding">
    <img src="@Umbraco.Field("blogItemImage")" class="img-fluid mb-3">
    <h5 class="card-title px-3">@page.Name</h5>
    <a href="@page.Url" class="btn btn-primary mb-3">Explorar artículo</a>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    }
    }
    catch{}
    }

    Hi Daniel

    Soooo old now with the v7 'dynamic' syntax. Firstly Umbraco.Field will only write out values from the current page, which is why it works on your article page! - but in this macro, you are inside a foreach loop and you want to write out the image from the 'page' variable...

    So using 'dynamic' this I think would be

    @page.BlogItemImage

    But what I can't truly remember is what you'll get when you do that...

    Eg it either just works or you'll get the media object and you'll need instead:

    @page.BlogItemImage.Url

    or whether you'll just get the integer media Id... So if you get a number you need

    @Umbraco.Media(page.BlogItemImage).Url

    Sorry its been a while!

    Regards

    Marc

    Dude...I love you. You don't have to apologize, I've been struggling with this old code for soooo long. The answer was @page.BlogItemImage.Url all along.

    Thank you so much!
