How to use media picker - umbraco

I'm working on getting a Media Picker to work.
I have created a document type with a Media Picker in it called "vareBillede". This I have inserted in my code.
The code is placed in a template which should call the image from the document type.
#{
var typedMediaPickerSingle = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("vareBillede");
if (typedMediaPickerSingle != null)
{
<img src="#typedMediaPickerSingle.Url" />
}
}
At the moment my image isn't showing up.
I really hope this makes sense and you got a fix for me :-)
Best regards
Lasse

UMBRACO: How to add image on template

So, I'm currently new to Umbraco and I'm following some tutorial videos on umbraco.tv. I have created my template and is currently using it to setup the Home Page for my website. I have all the front end working and its displaying properly.
My problem is on the images. I'm using a lot of images for my website and I'm trying to link it to content so the images can be easily changed(not sure if I'm making sense).
Navigation bar image
If you click the link above, that's how my current navigation bar look like. I want to be able to change the LOGO using Umbraco's media picker. However, everytime I do so, it either gives me the alt name or a runtime error.
This is the code for the image on the template.
<img src="#Umbraco.Field("navigationLogo")" height="100" width="50" alt="Logo">
I'd appreciate it if you can help me. I'm not sure if I've explained it properly so feel free to ask in detail. Thanks!
Edit -----
I am only coding on browser since it doesn't allow me to login to pull the codes locally (only on trial version since I'm just testing out if its a good CMS).
Not sure if I'm doing it correctly so I apologize. I wrote my code like this
#{
var navigationLogo = #Umbraco.AssignedContent.Site().GetPropertyValue("navigationLogo");
var navigationLogoMediaItem = #Umbraco.TypedMedia(navigationLogo);
<img src="#navigationLogoMediaItem.Url" height="100" width="50" alt="Logo" />
}
It's giving me the following error so far.
Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper' does not contain a definition for 'AssignedContent' and no extension method 'AssignedContent' accepting a first argument of type 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
#inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
#{
Layout = "WebBase.cshtml";
string navigationLogoMediaItem = "";
if (Model.Content.HasValue("navigationLogo"))
{
navigationLogoMediaItem = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("navigationLogo").Url;
}
}
<img src="#navigationLogoMediaItem" height="100" width="50" alt="Logo" />
you can try this
I'm going to make a few assumptions so please bear with me here.
Assumption 1) On your home node (assuming a document type of 'home") you have a property on it called "navigationLogo".
Assumption 2) This is a media picker data type
Assumption 3) You are using Umbraco 7.6 or newer.
Assumption 4) You aren't using Models Builder
So, assumptions in place there are a few steps you need to go through.
1) Get the navigation logo where ever you are in the site.
var navigationLogo = #Umbraco.AssignedContent.Site().GetPropertyValue("navigationLogo");
2) next, you'll need to get the media item as I belive you will only have a UDI at this stage.
var navigationLogoMediaItem = #Umbraco.TypedMedia(navigationLogo);
3) You'll want to put a null check in at this point but to get the url of the logo you simple need to do this:
<img src="#navigationLogoMediaItem.Url" height="100" width="50" alt="Logo" />
That should get you what you are after. :-)
You can simply try out this code.
memberImage is your document type field name
#{
var image = Umbraco.TypedMedia(#Umbraco.Field("memberImage").ToString());
<img src="#image.Url" style="max-width:250px">
}

Umbaco Archtype rendering images (MediaPicker2)

I'm building a image slider using Archtype in Umbraco.
I was using umbraco 7.5.9 and Umbraco.MediaPicker when I started this but in the mean time I started a new project with the newest version Umbraco (7.6.2) which uses Umbraco.MediaPicker2
It was no problem rendering images with the old MediaPicker but with the MediaPicker2 it seems impossible.
Here is my setup.
The Archtype:
Here is the partial view that rendered the old MediaPicker
<div class="fullWidthSlider">
#foreach (var image in #CurrentPage.SliderImages)
{
<div>Id: #image.GetValue("image")</div>#*Line added for debug*#
var media = #Umbraco.Media(image.GetValue("image"));
<img src="#media.Url" />
}
</div>
This used to work for the old Media picker and the #image.GetValue returned int id. But with the new MediaPicker2 it returns Umbraco.Core.Udi[]
If I foreach through the properties of the archtype with the code below I get this result (see below code)
#foreach (var fieldset in Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("sliderImages"))
{
foreach(var prop in fieldset.Properties){
<p>#prop.Alias - #prop.Value</p>
}
}
href -
altText - alt test
image - umb://media/c33bfe07a82b4df18a79db154139cb91
href -
altText - Fjall
image - umb://media/40d5778d34bb4035b5146c901de75212
Can anyone tell me how I can render image from this data.
Thanks
I just went on a roller-coaster figuring this out!
You can get an IPublishedContent from your image string using this code:
// Your string which is retrieved from Archetype.
var imageString = "umb://media/c33bfe07a82b4df18a79db154139cb91";
// Get the guid from this string.
var imageGuidUdi = GuidUdi.Parse(imageString);
// Get the ID of the node!
var imageNodeId = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.EntityService.GetIdForKey(guidUdi.Guid, (UmbracoObjectTypes)Enum.Parse(typeof(UmbracoObjectTypes), guidUdi.EntityType, true));
// Finally, get the node.
var imageNode = Umbraco.TypedMedia(imageNodeId.Result);
Check out this thread on Our Umbraco which covers this issue.
I used this comment to figure out how to get the ID from the image's guid.
It looks like Umbraco HQ is pushing for people to use the new ModelsBuilder with typed models. I'm not sure if Archetype is supported by the ModelsBuilder which is why there's so much trouble.
I personally use Nested Content on all of my projects as it performs the same functionality but (IMO) is better supported by Umbraco because it uses Document Types to store repeatable content schema. Because of this, it can then easily be mapped to IPublishedContent and therefore is supported by the ModelsBuilder!

Randomly selecting an image from a folder in Umbraco

I have created a folder in Umbraco and I would like to display a random image from that folder on my page.
I found a solution from a few years ago which was giving me compile errors
dynamic folder = Library.MediaById(1054);
var randomImage = folder.Children.Where("nodeTypeAlias = \"Image\"").Random();
I found that I have to add the proper inherits in my file
#using umbraco.MacroEngines
#inherits DynamicNodeContext
but this it gives me an error because I already have a #model I'm using in the first line
The 'inherits' keyword is not allowed when a 'model' keyword is used.
Thanks for any help
You can take a look and learn from sample macro partial views pre-installed in each Umbraco website. There is a snippet called List Images From Media Folder.
The code of the default snippet looks like this:
#inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
#*
Macro to display a series of images from a media folder.
How it works:
- Confirm the macro parameter has been passed in with a value
- Loop through all the media Id's passed in (might be a single item, might be many)
- Display any individual images, as well as any folders of images
Macro Parameters To Create, for this macro to work:
Alias:mediaId Name:Select folder with images Type:Single Media Picker
*#
#{ var mediaId = Model.MacroParameters["mediaId"]; }
#if (mediaId != null)
{
#* Get all the media item associated with the id passed in *#
var media = Umbraco.Media(mediaId);
var selection = media.Children("Image");
if (selection.Any())
{
<ul>
#foreach (var item in selection)
{
<li>
<img src="#item.umbracoFile" alt="#item.Name" />
</li>
}
</ul>
}
}
We need to remember to add the parameter to macro if we're using them there.
Then we can use both: Media or TypedMedia helper methods to retrieve folder (which is typical media item with different type), despite of the required returned type. I usually use TypedMedia to be able to operate on strongly typed object and preview properties in Visual Studio.
If we create macro properly and insert it on the template using code like this (with proper folder ID):
#Umbraco.RenderMacro("Test", new { mediaId="1082" })
we should see a list of images from this folder (all of them at that moment).
The final part is almost the same as you previously did it, but we need to adjust it a little bit. My final code and suggestion is below:
#inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
#{
var folderId = Model.MacroParameters["mediaId"];
if (folderId != null)
{
var media = Umbraco.TypedMedia(folderId);
var rand = new Random();
var imagesInFolder = media.Children("Image");
if(imagesInFolder.Any()) {
var pick = imagesInFolder.ElementAt(rand.Next(0, imagesInFolder.Count()));
if (pick != null)
{
<img src="#pick.GetCropUrl()" alt="#pick.Name" />
}
}
}
}
Let me know if it solved your problem :)

How to show umbraco multiple media picker images on page with a macro

Hello stackoverflow people
hope you can help me with maybe a simple question, but couldn't find a solution elsewhere and I have just been working with umbraco for a week now and have never used the mvc part before so all is new for me.
So the big problem is how I make a macro to show these images I choose from the multiple media picker the macro should just end with showing.
<img src="img1.gif" height="50" width="50">
<img src="img2.gif" height="50" width="50">
And so on depending on how many images there is. (the size is just an exempel)
I tryed somthing like this
#var selectedMedia3 = #Library.MediaById(Model.mainImage);
<img src="#selectedMedia3.umbracoFile" width="#selectedMedia3.umbracoWidth" height="#selectedMedia3.umbracoHeight" alt="#selectedMedia3.Name"/>
}
But I dont know how to parse the id of the image to the macro.
and when I choose more than one file I need a loop, but dont know how to loop the multiple media picker data, so im a little lost by now.
Are you able to let us know what version of Umbraco you are using. Umbraco has gone through a number of fundemental changes in various version over recent years. The below code should guide you in the right direction for Umbraco 7 Multiple Image picker with the propertyAlias partnersLogos.
#if (Model.Content.HasValue("partnersLogos"))
{
var partnersImagesList = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("partnersLogos").Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(int.Parse);
var partnersImagesCollection = Umbraco.TypedMedia(partnersImagesList).Where(x => x != null);
foreach (var partnerImage in partnersImagesCollection)
{
<img src="#partnerImage.Url" alt="partners logo" />
}
}
If anyone makes the same mistake as me and doesn't realise that there is a difference between the now obsolete media picker and the new media picker "Umbraco.MediaPicker2" (true from at least 7.6.1) then please read the documentation on Umbraco's web site.
https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Getting-Started/Backoffice/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors/Media-Picker2
#{
var typedMultiMediaPicker = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("sliders");
foreach (var item in typedMultiMediaPicker)
{
<img src="#item.Url" style="width:200px"/>
}
}
I'm not really sure if you question is how to setup MVC within umbraco or getting values from an image picker.

Display Media Library Picker Field image in a lists alternate item view in Orchard CMS

So the title pretty much says it all.
I am using Orchard CMS v1.7. I have created my own content type (Product Categories) - this is essentially the same as a page though also has an extra field (Media Library Picker Field) to allow me to select and display a single image - this will be displayed on both the list item view and also the main page content.
I use a projection page to display all content types "ProductCategories". This works well and as expected.
I now want to display this additional image within each of the items in the list of ProductCategories when viewing the projection page.
Using Shape Tracing I created an alternate for my list items.
By default, this looks like this:
#using Orchard.Utility.Extensions;
#{
if (Model.Title != null) {
Layout.Title = Model.Title;
}
Model.Classes.Add("content-item");
var contentTypeClassName = ((string)Model.ContentItem.ContentType).HtmlClassify();
Model.Classes.Add(contentTypeClassName);
var tag = Tag(Model, "article");
}
#tag.StartElement
<header>
#Display(Model.Header)
#if (Model.Meta != null) {
<div class="metadata">
#Display(Model.Meta)
</div>
}
</header>
#Display(Model.Content)
#if(Model.Footer != null) {
<footer>
#Display(Model.Footer)
</footer>
}
#tag.EndElement
I am now stuck - I have no idea how I display the image that is associated to this item.
I step through my code to inspect the content of the Model passed into my custom list item view and something strange happens...
when the model is loaded in there is no ListLogo inside. - see first snapshot..
However, the moment i step through #if (Model.Meta != null) my ListLogo can now be found on the object, however it's still empty - as in this snapshot.
How do I display the image associated to this content item - there is only 1 too.
Do I need to override creation of the actual list itself? If so, can you give me pointers?
Thanks in advance.
bah - so once again this all comes down to the Placement.info file in my theme.
I added a reference to the Fields_MediaLibraryPicker inside my DisplayType="Summary" and it worked like a charm.
E.G My placement.info in my theme has this for an item in my list
<Match DisplayType="Summary">
<Place Parts_Common_Metadata_Summary="-"/>
<Place Parts_Title="-"/>
<Place Fields_MediaLibraryPicker="Content:1" /> <!-- this adds the field.. -->
</Match>
