Media Picker and Vorto - How do I get the image?
I'm trying to grab the image from my content page. I have a master page, which has a bunch of Vorto fields for translation, including a Vorto Media Picker, where I uploaded my files.

How on earth do I get the URL of the image? I've tried this, which Matt did in a uHangout call:
```
@ {
    var imageId = Model.Content.GetVortoValue("culture");
}

<img src="@Umbraco.TypedMedia(imageId).Url" />
```
That seems to be the way Matt did it. Even if I just try to print out imageId, it is empty.

Just had a look at my code and it's done casting to an IPublishedContent but it supposed it should work as you are doing it!

Maybe try GetVortoValue<int> or GetVortoValue<IPublishedContent> ?

If I do:
```
var imageId = Model.Content.GetVortoValue<int>("culture");
```
I get this error:

Cannot assign method group to an implicitly-typed variable

Same happens with IPublishedContent.

Any idea?

Hi Morten,

Bit late to reply but I happen to figure out to pull out media from Cms. There are many posts that revels these but are scattered.

The methods below, I had Languages (countryCode as text and countryFlag as mediaPicker) in Archetype and then I try to pull the data from these properties. This archetype is created on SiteSettings page.

Method to get Languages from Archetype that is created on siteSettings page

` public IEnumerable

        foreach (var fieldset in flagList)
        {
            LanguageFlagViewModel flag = new LanguageFlagViewModel();

            foreach (var item in fieldset.Properties)
            {
                if (item.Alias == "countryCode")
                {
                    flag.CountryCode = Convert.ToString(item.Value).Trim().ToLower();
                    foreach (var lang in siteLanguages)
                    {
                        if (lang.CultureInfo.TwoLetterISOLanguageName == flag.CountryCode)
                        {
                            var currentUrl = currentPage.Url.TrimStart("/" + @currentCulture);
                            flag.LanguageUrl = "/" + lang.CultureInfo.TwoLetterISOLanguageName + currentUrl;
                        }
                    }
                }

                if (item.Alias == "countryFlag")
                {
                    flag.FlagImageUrl = _cmsMediaService.GetImageUrl(GuidUdi.Parse(Convert.ToString(item.Value)));
                }


            }
            flags.Add(flag);
        }
        return flags;
    }`

In the recent versions of Umbraco, I think after 7.6.1, we get Udi / GuidUdi from Media picker instead of just id, using which we can get further the media from cms. see the below function.

public string GetImageUrl(GuidUdi mediaUdi) { string imageUrl = string.Empty;

        Attempt<int> data = _entityService.GetIdForKey(mediaUdi.Guid,
            (UmbracoObjectTypes)Enum.Parse(typeof(UmbracoObjectTypes), mediaUdi.EntityType, true));
        if (data.Success)
        {
            imageUrl = _umbracoHelper.TypedMedia(data.Result).Url;

        }
        return imageUrl;
    }`
