    problem with getMedia

     

    Hi,

    I am trying to show a banner image in my webpages.

    The user can choose with Media Picker a banner image from the Media Library:

    in my getbannerimage.xslt file I use the getMedia method to render my image tag:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner, 0)/Image/umbracoFile" />

    But for some reason, the image is not showing, the src attribute of the image tag is empty.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony Candaele

    Hi Anthony

    a good idea is to see if you get anything from the banner property.

    you can do this like this

    <textarea>

    <xsl:copy-of select="$currentPage/banner" />

    </textarea>

    If this returns an id you should make a copy of your umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner,0) to see what XML gets returned. It's probably because your match is wrong in some way, or perhaps you just need to republish the entire site?

    Have you had a look at the wiki entry about the usage of GetMedia? http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/getmedia

    Hope these pointers are helpful.

    /Jan

    Hi Anthony

    Try this

    <xsl:if test="$currentPage/banner &gt; 0">
      <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner,'true')/umbracoFile}" />
    </xsl:if>

    Hi Simon

    the example you provide is wrong.

    if you want to use either true or false instead of 0 or 1 in the expression you should use false() or true() - the way you have done it it will always return true. You could write anything in there like 'test' and it would be interpreted as "true".

    Using 'false" and 'true' is a comon misconception I think - I know I have been guilty of doing it myself in the past untill mr. Steinmeier wrote about how to deal with it.

    Cheers

    Hi again

    Forgort to mention that 0,1,false() and true() should be written without '' sourounding it...For an example like this:

      <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner,true())/umbracoFile}" />

    Hi Jan,

    Thanks, the problem is solved, apparently

    <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner,true())/Image/umbracoFile}" />

    doesn't give back the image file information, while

    <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner,true())/umbracoFile}" />

    Does!

    Thanks, now I can have lunch with some peace of mind :)

    Anthony

    Hi Anthony

    Happy to hear you got it sorted out. It can sometime be frustrating when it's the little things that's confusing one :-)

    Enjoy your lunch.
