    Razor - getting media URL in a roundabout way?

    I am stuck. Just getting started with MVC and Umbraco at the same time, and I can't suss out how to make this happen or if I am going about it in the wrong way. Any help is appreciated.

    I am trying to make a simple list of posts including link, title, media, date and summary.

    What I have so far:

    @{
var articles = Umbraco.Content(1216);  //Node of Posts

    foreach (var article in articles.Children.Where("Visible")) //Getting visible posts
    {
        <a href="@article.Url">
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <h5>@article.Name</h5>
                <div><img src="/media/@article.Image/SOMETHING"/></div> <!--Gets the node of the correct media item, not sure how to get the actual file name with only the node -->
                <p>@article.postDate</p>
                <p>@article.summary</p>
            </div>
        </a>
    }

    }

    How do I get the actual image URL associated with the article, only knowing the node id? Or is there a better way to do what I am attempting? Side request, what is the best way to format the date (show only date without time). Thanks!

    Hi Seth and welcome to our.

    You can do something like this.

    @{      
    if (article.HasValue("propertyAlias")){                                         
        var dynamicMediaItem = Umbraco.Media(article.propertyAlias);
 <div>
        <img src="@dynamicMediaItem.umbracoFile" alt="@dynamicMediaItem.Name"/>
</div>
    }
}

    Please remember to change propertyAlias so it match your field alias where you are adding your image.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis
