Displaying an image from Media Picker in a web page
I'm new to Umbraco and am trying to do something very simple.
1. I uploaded some images into Umbraco
2. On the document type created a Media Picker
3. created a new page and pointed the Media Picker at the uploaded image
4. In the template I added the reference to the Media Picker
All i get is the number of the image displayed in the web page. I have looked at several articles and created a few macros but none seem to work.
All i want to do is display the image from the media picker on the web page. It must be simple but i just cannot figure it out. Any easy step by step assistance would be appreciate.
I have tried <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="imagecontent" xslt="concat('<img src="', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},false())/*/umbracoFile, '" />')" xsltDisableEscaping="true" />, changing the {0} for a number, but it displays nothing. I am using Ambraco 4.7
You need to create an XSLT macro to fetch the image since using umbraco:Item will only return the id of the image node in the media folder.
Try having a look in this wiki reference about GetMedia. This shows how you can create the XSLT in a XSLT file, which can be inserted into your template afterwards.
so i take the following, create a new XSLT and add this in where it says <!-- start writing XSLT -->. If so when i do this i get an error! System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.

Hi Julian

Please note that you should use the example based on the version 4.5 syntax.
Hope this helps.

Look at the last code block on this page:
http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/templates/umbracoitem-element/inline-xslt
It should do what you want.
Sorry
so i take the following, create a new XSLT and add this in where it says <!-- start writing XSLT -->. If so when i do this i get an error! System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.
<xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/imageAlias, 0)" />
<xsl:if test="$media">
<img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />
</xsl:if>
Try to change
<xsl:if test="$media">to
<xsl:if test="string($media)!=''">is working on a reply...
