Hi,

Can anyone out there please help; I've been trying to get the media picker image to show on the front end for 2 days now, but I keep getting an error message, I've tried everything and don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong.

See my code below.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
    Layout = null;
    var Current = CurrentPage;
}

<div class="img-accordion">
    <ul>
        @{
            var accordion = Current.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("nestedContent");

            foreach (var item in accordion) {
                <li>
                    <div>
                        <a href="#">
                            <img src='@Umbraco.Media(@item.GetPropertyValue("accordionIcon")).Url'>
                            <span class="overlay">
                                <h3>@Umbraco.Field(item, "accordionTextField")</h3>
                                <p>@Umbraco.Field(item, "accordionTextareaField")</p>
                            </span>
                        </a>
                    </div>
                </li>
            }
        }
    </ul>
</div>

and below is the error I keep getting.

Note: I am working with Dynamic content, when I switch to strongly typed (@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage), everything seems to be working.

The question would be how to render the Media Picker using Dynamic (@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage) ?

Thanks

Hi Elin

Do not use dynamics! Please, read "Common Pitfalls" - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/Common-Pitfalls/

What is the "Current" variable in your example?

var accordion = Current.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("nestedContent");

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for sharing this link with me, I'll try to avoid using dynamics next time.

To answer your question, Current refers to the current page var Current = CurrentPage;

I updated my original post, somehow I missed adding it.

Thanks.

This code should work:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
    Layout = null;
}

<div class="img-accordion">
    <ul>
        @{
            var accordion = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("nestedContent");

            foreach (var item in accordion)
            {
                <li>
                    <div>
                        <a href="#">
                            @if (item.HasValue("accordionIcon"))
                            {
                                var image = item.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("accordionIcon");
                                <img src='@image.Url'>
                            }
                            <span class="overlay">
                                <h3>@Umbraco.Field(item, "accordionTextField")</h3>
                                <p>@Umbraco.Field(item, "accordionTextareaField")</p>
                            </span>
                        </a>
                    </div>
                </li>
            }
        }
    </ul>
</div>

Thanks, Alex

Hi Elin,

Try this one:

var imageId = item.GetPropertyValue<int>("accordionIcon");
var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(imageId);
if(image != null)
{
    <img src='@image.Url'>
}

Hi Alex,

I got another error with the new code you provided.

enter image description here

And this is the same error that I've been having trouble with, it keeps telling me that

ImageAccordion does not contain a definition for "GetPropertyValue"

I really don't know what to do anymore, I guess this just won' work for some reason.

Thanks,

Elin

can you:

var image = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("accordionIcon");
if (image != null)
{   
    <img src="@image.Url" alt="@image.Name" />
}

??
