Hi Morten,

In v7.6 this package got integrated in to the core : https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umbraco-core-property-value-converters/

This means that now out of the box property values will be converted to some strongly typed model.

If you want you can disable this feature in the umbracoSettings.config file. Look for this setting and set it to false :

<EnablePropertyValueConverters>true</EnablePropertyValueConverters>

But if you want to use the value converters you can use this code.

var selection = Umbraco.Content(1234).Children;

foreach(var person in selection) {
    IPublishedContent vorto = (IPublishedContent)person;
    var img = vorto.GetVortoValue<IPublishedContent>("image");

    <img src="@img.Url" />
}

Hi Morten,

Setting it to false should make your code work.

If you have it my code snippet should work.

But haven't tried using vorto in 7.6 yet I must admit.

Dave

Which line is giving you this error ?

Just remove them, and add them one by one.

I'm currently having a similar looking problem. I'm trying to upgrade a 7.3.1 site to 7.6.0 but I've had lots of trouble with code that interacts with URL and media fields. I've been tinkering with settings, enabling/disabling the "enablePropertyValueConverters" setting and trying other things.

For me the following code is not working:

@foreach (IPublishedContent childPage in thisPageAlbums)
{
    string albumCoverImage = string.Empty; 
    if (childPage.HasValue("mainImage"))
    {
        albumCoverImage = childPage.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("mainImage").Url;
    }
}

Although the "hasValue" check returns true the GetPropertyValue method returns null.

Any ideas? Is there some official documentation on how these underlying changes should be handled?

Thanks

Odd.. odd.. odd things are happening. I removed all the images, saved the content, inserted the images again, and then saved it all. Now HasValue() returns True and it actually works again.

var img = Umbraco.Media(person.GetPropertyValue("image"));

So weird. I just confirmed this on another page that had the same issue. How weird is that?

There's more related info on this here: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-7318

If that is the same issue then the line that marked it as "Fixed" says you will "need to re-pick all of the media in your media pickers" - http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-7318

Please no.

I couldn't get the above code to work but converting my value to a string somehow did?

@Umbraco.Media(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("subHeroImage").ToString()).Url

Without ToString() it doesn't work, might help somebody :)

I got the same issue in version 7.6.4 using the Umbraco.MediaPicker2

 if (content.HasValue("mediaPicker")) // return false.

Have anyone found a solution?

Not sure if this is your solution, but for all of the images on our site, we use something like this

Model.Content.imageProperty.FirstOrDefault();

FirstOrDefault because it is a list of ipublished content

Just to let everyone know I've just hit this too in an upgrade path from 7.2.6 to 7.6.5 and the only thing that worked for me, including trying to relink media, was the .ToString() solution from @Heyden's comment!

Will put comments on the issue tracker letting HQ know it's not as fixed as expected?!?

Thanks nonetheless to all as this really helped me with the final bugs on the migration!

#h5yr!

Has anyone experienced issues using the new value converters on Members?

var fullUser = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetByUsername(curUser.UserName);

IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> files = fullUser.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("files");

files is always null (this works fine on content, and I love the new converters), so I have been grabbing the raw string which looks something like this and breaking into an array

string[] stringarray = fullUser.GetValue<string>("files").Split(',');

umb://media/2572389b7fc24ce9a057d7ba31f19f9c,umb://media/8fc3d88b63ba4c4baad3464b0bc176e4,umb://media/c65c3456e9c2435e97971c5f29ef97c2,umb://media/97daf7c8c5dd414bb906390b7d7ec5d0

Then looping on the array and grabbing via TypedMedia. Unfortunately there is no TypedMedia that accepts an array or IEnumerable of Udi's so I'm doing it in the loop

foreach (string f in stringarray)
{
    var udi = Udi.Parse(f);   // umb://media/udi
    IPublishedContent med = Umbraco.TypedMedia(udi);
}

This all works fine for now, was just curious if there was general issues with Value Converters on IMember ? or if anyone has a cleaner approach as this is even one additional step compared to pre 7.6

Cheers!

Hi guys,

Easy way to get images:

 @{ 
        //Get the ID of the Field
        var mediaId = Umbraco.Field("image");

        //Get the MediaType to Write the URL
        var media   = Umbraco.Media(mediaId.ToString());

        //Salve the Path into the Image
        var image   = media.Url;
    }

Make sure that there is image in the field or you will get error message.

is working on a reply...
