best way to build a simple portfolio using multinode tree picker
Hey there,
trying to seek some advice about how to best build a simple portfolio using the multinode tree picker. Multinode Tree pickers are such a great asset to Umbraco and when used in conjunction with Desktop Media Uploader, you can really piece together a portfolio site pretty quickly.
I currently have:
a MultiNode Tree Picker datatype which lets a user make an image collection from the media section, in theory so a user can create as many portfolio or portfolio sections as possible
Two xslt's that render that out a navigation and one big 'selected' image
Trouble is: I'd like to be able to hit these portfolio images by url, can sort of achieve this by using umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('mediaItemId') to grab a media id from the URL which looks something like this for example: yoursite.com/portfolio?mediaId=1040. Which could then be taken further by using an IIS7 rewrite to make something slightly friendlier: yoursite.com/portfolio/1040
Trouble is, I'd love to have something even friendlier like /portfolio/Giraffe-mum-and-baby (for example)
I guess what I'm really asking is the best way to have friendlier urls for media nodes, in the case where you want to render
a content node (multinodeTreePicker which contains a collection of images) at the same time as a media node by nameName or other field name rather than just by ID
I'll definitley be using the DigiBiz picker whenever I use image crops, because of the fix you put in to avoid the double-save issue. as this was a simple example without any of that I wanted to use the uComponents treepicker... also in this situation it's a bit quicker to choose a whole bunch of media items with a few clicks.
here's the code I ended up with for my selected image xslt:
first of all create Document type(e.g.. Name:-Album) and also create album master page....
second one create XSLT file and added some code...
and after added macro and import macro in album master page...
and after added some images in media folder.... and after create content... choose the folder...
and now display all images proper...
but i want to not display all images...i want to filterable like a portfolio...
and i was load your DAMP package...this error gave me..
Could not load file or assembly 'DigibizAdvancedMediaPicker, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Media
--php(image of php)
--asp.net(iamge of asp.net)
--css(image of css)
--javascript(image of javascript)
this four type of catagries in my umbraco project..
then i want to not display all images in portfolio section..but include in filter section..
like
below all are the link then i click on all link so display all images and i click on php so only display me php images but remind disply in same page....

Sorry if that post is a bit mish-mashed.

Hope that makes sense

Hi Tim,
Sounds like we need a GetMediaByName function in our XSLT extensions...
We'll see what we can come up with. Should be doable, as uQuery can do an XML instance of all media items.
Cheers, Lee.
Hi Tim,
Had a look at uQuery, there is already a method in there for "GetMediaByName" - it just wasn't in the XSLT extension for Media - which I've now added!
If you want the latest bleeding-edge version, drop me an email tomorrow - I'll fire over an ad-hoc package.
Cheers, Lee.
Hello,
Did you also have a look at the Digibiz Advanced Media Picker? You can do the same thing as with MNTP, but it has more options. Here is a quick video on how to use it: http://www.screenr.com/TEY

I hope your reponse....
Hello,
Have a look at the following examples:
DAMP Gallery
Hybrid Framework
Jeroen
hello jeroen give me examples of filterable portfolio/gallery using macro(XLST Code)
If you use DAMP you can try the DAMP 2.5 samples package. That has an xslt example: http://www.screenr.com/gz0s

Hello,
What version of Umbraco are you using?
Sorry I don't have an example with type filtering.
Jeroen
my is Umbraco v6.1.6 (Assembly version: 1.0.5021.24867)
ok dont mine but one thing is a:-
my tree is media part
Media --php(image of php) --asp.net(iamge of asp.net) --css(image of css) --javascript(image of javascript)
