Hi Shelly,

Umbraco 8 has strong typed models of document types. Which give you Intellisense in Visual Studio. This is done by the ModelsBuilder. Please refer to the https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Templating/Modelsbuilder/Builder-Modes for details. Using Dll mode gives you the mentioned Intellisense.

There is another useful object which give access to the data. On a template it is Umbraco (aka UmbracoHelper). This has the method MediaAtRoot() returning an IEnumerable

 var media = Umbraco.MediaAtRoot();

foreach (var item in media){
<img src="@item.Url"/>
}

Yours Dirk

I wound what you want to do? Thus I like to show you another approach:

Add a Media Picker property called "MediaFolder" to your document type. Then you can show all the images (and only images) by the following code:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<ContentModels.[YourDocType]>

...

   @{
   var mediaFolder = Model.MediaFolder;
   var media = mediaFolder.Children;
   foreach (var item in media.Where(i => i.ContentType.Alias.Equals("Image")))
   {
      <img src="@item.Url" />
   }}

:)

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the help. I have tried both of your solutions but they still do not work.

I have uploaded images in my media section and categorized them using folders. The images will be used in a slider and I wanted to code it in a way where I would just be adding images to the media folder and they would dynamically appear in the slider instead of going in the content node and adding the image itself each time using the media picker.

I am only picking the folder using the media picker in the content node.

Do you see what I'm trying to do?

I used to do that in Umbraco 7 but does not work the same way with 8.

Thanks Rhys,

Your solution worked!

I see where my mistake was now, referring to the IEnumerable
