The number you see is the ID of an image in the media library. To get the image node itself you can use umbraco.library:GetMedia(image, 0)

The number is a unique identifier for the media item, you'll need to use the 'GetMedia' function in your XSLT:

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

You could also try DAMP. It can store the media xml so you don't need to use library:GetMedia.

Jeroen

Thank you.

How do I actually umbraco.library:GetMedia(image, 0) to the code? I've had a look through the getmedia wiki before and tried all the options but again I'm doing something wrong because I get this error on the web page Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\NewsList2.xslt

Hi Sophie

Could you try adding ?umbdebugshowtrace=1 to the url in the browser window - this will give you a stack trace, which may contain an error message marked with red.

If it contains an error message then please post it in here :) Also please post the whole code so it's easier for others to try and figure out where the problem is.

Thank you! 

Could you post part of you umbraco.config file so we can see how the xml looks? This error usually happens when you use librery.GetMedia, but the parameter isn't an id.

Jeroen

Hmm are you using the latest Umbraco? In that case you need to use the new xml. Try this:

 <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/image], 0)/umbracoFile"/>

Jeroen

Also it seems like you have a mix of new and old XML schema in the code. But let's see the umbraco.config as Jeroen says and then we can help you out from there :)

/Jan

Your Xslt is compatible with old XML schema, not a new one. If your intallation is running a new schema

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='image'], 0)/data [@alias = 'image']"/>

should be spelled as:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/image, 0)/umbracoFile"/> 

or like that if you want some other media properties instead of "umbracoFile".

Aaah, too slow :D

Well spotted Jeroen.

/Jan

me too :-)

Thanks again all of you. It could well be a mix of lots of things, I was kind of given this as asked to make it work. So I've been watching the videos etc and working it out as I go along.

I tried this <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/image, 0)/umbracoFile"/> and I still get the same error.

How much of the config file do you need to see? 

If you can find the node which you are currently using to display the image that would be enough :).

Jeroen

It seems that you could use some good examples. Why not try Cultiv Razor Examples? It's a complete Umbraco website (not a package) and has some nice examples how media can be used in Razor (if you want to use that). Or watch this video on how to install DAMP. It has examples for Razor and XSLT.

Hmm I see this:

Both should have an id. That's what is causing the error. Please select a media item for both pages and try again.

And I still get the same error with the macro - is there something I should do with that?

Thanks again 

I looked at your XSLT file again. You're looping through some nodes which have a property with the alias 'image', but the examples we used the current page. So try this in your XSLT

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(./image, 0)/umbracoFile"/>

Now it's using the node you're looping trough.

Jeroen

You can just add an "<xsl:if>" clause to validate that the "image" field is not empty: 

<xsl:if test="string(image) != ''"> 
    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(image, 0)/umbracoFile"/>
</xsl:if>

That will preven the error in such a case.

Thank you both - that is definitely an improvement!

I now have no error and it's clearly trying to show the image so now I get title followed by /media/463/rock_cakes.jpg and then the summary.

Let me know if you need the code.

Thank you 

If your code is still similar to what you posted above above:

 <li>
    <h2><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
      </a></h2>

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='image'], 0)/data [@alias = 'image']"/>

    <p>
    <xsl:value-of select="summary"/>
    </p>

  </li>

Then you will need an 'img' tag:

 <li>
    <h2><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
      </a></h2>

    <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia(image, 0)/umbracoFile}" />

    <p>
    <xsl:value-of select="summary"/>
    </p>

  </li>

Perfect thank you that's working!

Thanks for all the help 

is working on a reply...
