    umbraco 7.6 API model issue with typedmedia

    Templates, (partial) views and macros
    Umbraco 7

    I have the below 2 lines of code. Through debugging, I can examine media and I see it having an id, however when the 2nd line is run, mediaItem returns null.

    var media = Model.GetPropertyValue("Testimage"); var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(media);

    Hi Reinjunon

    So one time this code works, another doesn't?

    What is the problem?

    Did you change something with this media item in database?

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi,

    Try this:

    var media = Model.GetPropertyValue<int>("Testimage"); 
var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(media);

    This is due to media pickers now returning IPublishedContent in v7.6.

    This would actually allow you to simplify to a single line:

    var mediaItem = Model.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("Testimage");

    And if this code just returns null then what is wrong? :)

    var mediaItem = Model.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("Testimage");

    Upgraded 7.5.11 to 7.6 and merged configs correctly. Is using a media picker. Have republished all content. Works with the old code, but not the new.

    Figured it out. Was because when you upgrade a site Umbraco creates (Obsolete) media picker because it now need to use UID. So when changing the datatype to the MediaPicker2 then your code works :)

    Converters work with with both MediaPicker and MediaPicker2

    What returns with:

    GetProperty("Testimage").DataValue

    The id of the image. 1116 in this case

    :) It's one of the features of v7.6 and I worked on it

    Documentation needs to be migrated from https://github.com/Jeavon/Umbraco-Core-Property-Value-Converters (you can use that for now, this is the default in Umbraco v7.6 now) which is one of the tasks I'm hoping to work on soon.

    There is a configuration option in umbracoSettings.config that allows you to revert it to behave how it used to but I wouldn't recommend it as this is how things will be forever more (it's really for upgrades that won't work easily)
