    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('&lt;img src=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},false())/*/umbracoFile, '&quot; /&gt;')" xsltDisableEscaping="true" />, changing the {0} for a number,  but it displays nothing. I am using Ambraco 4.7

    Hi Julian

    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.

    http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/getmedia

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

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    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)!=''">
