Hi Jerker

Ofcourse. Here's an example where I pass a media picker item to the macro

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="mediaItem" select="/macro/mediaItem"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:if test="$mediaItem">
    <xsl:variable name="pdf" select="Flexit.PdfThumbnails:GetMedia($mediaItem/File/@id,0)"/>
    <h2><xsl:value-of select="$pdf/@nodeName"/></h2>
    <a href="{$pdf/umbracoFile}">Get full PDF here</a>
    <xsl:for-each select="$pdf//pdfThumbnails/file" >
        <img src="{.}"/>
    </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Thanks a lot!

But how do I use it with Razor syntax?

I tried:

var pdfThumb = Flexit.PdfThumbnails.Extension.GetMedia(item.Id, false);

But there are not an pdfThumb.GetPropertyValue() extension available.

Hi Jerker

I didn't include a Razor helper, because I didn't know how to.

Bu I've just updated the package, and now there is a Razor helper - see package description for a Razor example

Super!!! Thanks!!! I'm sorry I have one more question. If I have some custom properties added to my File MediaType. How would I access them. My custom MediaType property is "documentMetaData".

I tried:

@pdf.Media.GetPropertyValue("documentMetaData").ToString()

When I check to see if there was a property with that name with:

pdf.Media.HasProperty("documentMetaData").ToString()

I got false.

I guess that your helper doesn't include custom properties? Or how would I go about it?

Hi Jerker

That's weird. I think it's a bug in Umbraco. If I try to get "umbracoFile" it works as expected, but I dont get a custom property. I'll look into it.

Are you able to get you custom property using @Library.MediaById or any other function? I can't in 6.1.6

/Bo

I use Umbraco.TypedMedia(). It works well in 6.1.5.

Hmm... are you using MVC or WebForms? I can't find the Umbraco.TypedMedia namespace

MVC

In an Partiel View Macro I have this:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@using Flexit.PdfThumbnails;

@{
var rootMedia = Umbraco.TypedMedia(2206).Descendants().Where(x => x.DocumentTypeAlias == "File").OrderBy(x => x.Name);

foreach (var item in rootMedia)
{
var pdf = PDFHelper.GetMedia(item.Id);
foreach (var thumb in pdf.PdfThumbs)
{
<a href="@pdf.Media.Url" target="_blank">@pdf.Media.Name</a>
<img src="@thumb.fileName" style="max-width:30px;" />
}
}
}

Apparently GetProperty doesn't work. You should use @pdf.Media.customProperty

/Bo

That was a new one to me. Havn't seen that one before. Thanks!

O, totally missunderstod. Kind of funny. I thought there was a new extension method with that name - customProperty. But of course, it's the strongly typed property name.

is working on a reply...
