Archetype - unable to get the fieldset property values

Umbraco Version: 7.10.1 Archetype Version: 1.18.0

    public ActionResult RenderGallerySection()
    {
        List<GalleryItem> model = new List<GalleryItem>();
        IPublishedContent homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf().Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "home").FirstOrDefault();
        ArchetypeModel GalleryItems = homePage.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("galleryItems"); 

        foreach (ArchetypeFieldsetModel fieldset in GalleryItems)
        {
            string imageCategory1 = fieldset.GetValue("name").ToString();

            //Get the URL of the Image
            var imageIdsmall = fieldset.GetValue<IPublishedContent>("shortImage");
            var mediaItemSmall = Umbraco.Media(imageIdsmall);
            string smallImgUrl = mediaItemSmall.Url;

This line of code returns null: var imageIdsmall = fieldset.GetValue

However when I add a watch to "fieldset" i can see the image URL

Please help

Hi Praveen

Use "Umbraco.AssignedContentItem" instead of CurrentPage. CurrentPage is dynamic type, which is not good and hard to debug

IPublishedContent homePage = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf().FirstOrDefault(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "home");
    ArchetypeModel GalleryItems = homePage.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("galleryItems");

    foreach (ArchetypeFieldsetModel fieldset in GalleryItems)
    {
        string imageCategory1 = fieldset.GetValue("name").ToString();

        //Get the URL of the Image
        var imageIdsmall = fieldset.GetValue<IPublishedContent>("shortImage");
}

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex

Many thanks for the quick reply

now the variable imageIdsmall has value

var imageIdsmall = fieldset.GetValue

However the next two lines have null value: var mediaItemSmall = Umbraco.Media(imageIdsmall); string smallImgUrl = mediaItemSmall.Url;

Hi Alex, Really appreciate your help

below two lines resolved the issue, now I am able to get the Url //Get the URL of the Image string imageUrlSmall = fieldset.GetValue

Can you please advise how to loop through the items to render the html:

@inherits UmbracoViewPage<>
```
        foreach(@Model in GalleryItem)
        {
            @RenderGalleryItem(@Model[0])
        }
```

Praveen, why do you pass List as a model? Just get list in the view
