Hi Michael,

There is a fair amount of code but here is the main part of it that i think you will be interested in...

IContent Page = null;
Page = this.Services.ContentService.CreateContent(node.NodeTitle, this.Services.ContentService.GetById(node.ParentId), node.Alias);


//Upload images for product
var FolderId = GetFolderIdFromCreation(node.Reference);
var MainImageId = UploadImage(FolderId, node.MainImageUrl, "MainImage-" + node.Reference);
if (MainImageId != 0)
{
    var MainImageString = MainImageId.ToString();
    var FormattedPrice = Int32.Parse(node.PriceGBP.Replace(".00", "").Replace(",", "").Replace(".", ""));
    var OtherImage1 = UploadImage(FolderId, node.OtherImage1Url, "OtherImage1-" + node.Reference);
    var OtherImage2 = UploadImage(FolderId, node.OtherImage2Url, "OtherImage2-" + node.Reference);
    var OtherImage3 = UploadImage(FolderId, node.OtherImage3Url, "OtherImage3-" + node.Reference);

    //Required
    Page.SetValue("mainImage", MainImageString);
    Page.SetValue("gender", 123);

    //Optional         
    Page.SetValue("secondImage", OtherImage1.ToString());
    Page.SetValue("thirdImage", OtherImage2.ToString());
    Page.SetValue("fourthImage", OtherImage2.ToString());                                    

    try
    {                                       
        Services.ContentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(Page);
        ProductService.Instance.SetStock(1, Page.Id.ToString(), 1);
        SuccessList.Add(node);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
         ErrorList.Add(node);
         continue;
    }
}
else
{
     ErrorList.Add(node);
}

This code is in a foreach loop hence the continue.

The values that are set for the images are (int) ids of the images that are uploaded.

The alias is set at the top (node.Alias) which is just a string of "watchProduct"

Thanks, Lewis

Hi Lewis,

so you are using MediaPicker for these images correct?

In your code you have:

var MainImageId = UploadImage(FolderId, node.MainImageUrl, "MainImage-" + node.Reference);

Which contains the id of the main image, using this Id get the typed media object using:

var mainMediaImg = Services.MediaService.GetById(MainImageId);

Then to get the Udi identifier use:

var mainMediaUdi = mainMediaImg.GetUdi();

Then set this value:

Page.SetValue("mainImage", mainMediaUdi.ToString());

Hope this helps!

PS: code not tested, manually written here!

Hi Michael,

So i have the following:

var MainImageId = 123; //normally the id of the image that has just been uploaded.
var MainMediaUdi = Umbraco.TypedMedia(MainImageId.ToString());
Page.SetValue("mainImage", MainMediaUdi.GetUdi());

This issue is im getting is 'IPublishedContent' does not contain a definition for 'GetUdi' and no extension method 'GetUdi' accepting a first argument of type 'IPublishedContent' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

So it seems i getting IPublishedContent, is this a TypedMediaObject?

Thanks, Lewis

Lewis,

yes just changed my answer, was typing to fast. You need the MediaService to get the media file.

Hope this helps!

Hi Michael,

So when the code hits the part when it runs the GetUdi() it throws an error of "The best overloaded method match for 'Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.SetPropertyValue(string, string)' has some invalid arguments"

The image is being added as i expect it to be, its also returning the Media MediaService item as expected...

thanks, Lewis

-_- Work a treat! I will buy you a drink at codegarden this year!

Hi Lewis,

no problem!

I won't make it this year, but you can save the drink for another time when we meet!

Have a nice day
