Hi David

Try this code:

var cropUrl = Udi.Parse("mediaUDI").ToPublishedContent().GetCropUrl("cropAlias");

Can you show your razor code? Maybe we will fix it together with the community.

This is the old way id get images using Umbraco.TypedMedia

Check the Model has a property and that property has a value

    var bgAlias = "backgroundImage";
    var hasImage = Model.Content.HasProperty(bgAlias) && Model.Content.HasValue(bgAlias);
    var image = String.Empty;

Then check the image exists using the returned ID and if so then return the crop url into image, which is initially set to an empty string...

if (hasImage)
{
   var imageNode = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue(bgAlias));

   if(imagenode != null){
        image = imageNode.getCropUrl("cropAlias")
   }
}

Ive also tried the provided examples from - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/design/Rendering-Media/

and using like for like, but passing my own values like so:

var mediaItem = Umbraco.Media(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue(bgAlias));
var croppedUrl = Url.GetCropUrl(mediaItem, "largeHeader");

David, this code works for me:

var bgAlias = "backgroundImage";
var hasImage = Model.Content.HasProperty(bgAlias) && Model.Content.HasValue(bgAlias);
var image = String.Empty;
if (hasImage)
{
    var imageNode = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>(bgAlias);

    if(imageNode != null)
    {
        image = imageNode.GetCropUrl("largeHeader");
    }
}

Thanks Alex, life saver.

Can I ask why this version has been changed this way and why support for TypedMedia seems to be removed.

Im sure there is a decent reason why, but please appreciate that for us using this platform day-to-day its very frustrating when all of a sudden methods that we have been using a certain way for so long just cease to function as they used to with little to no documentation.

Im sure there is something im misunderstanding or missing, but all I can tell you is a job that should have taken me at most 10 mins to do, has become this long forum thread asking for help taking me to well over an hour for something that is basic work within the cms, just getting an image.

Very frustrating as I hope you can appreciate and im sure many other developers can relate to.
