    Displaying Single Random Image from Media Section

    Hello fellow people,

    i'm new to Umbraco and used to manage the most of things. But now I'm trying to display a Single Random Picture from the Pictures of my Media Section as "a little gimmick" (if you know what I mean)

    I browsed the whole Internet, including this Forum, but none of the solutions worked, so if you could help me, i would be very thankful :)

    Sincerly,

    A desperate User

    Hi Peter and welcome to our :),

    One way that you could do it is to use this code below.

    @{
        var randomImages = Umbraco.TypedMedia(1064).Children.RandomOrder().Take(1);
        foreach (var image in randomImages)
        {
            <img src="@image.Url" alt="@image.Name" />
        }
    }
    

    Where the ID is the ID of folder from the media section where you want the image taking from.

    If you want the user to pick a folder on a content node using the media picker then you need to use this code.

    @{
        if(Model.Content.HasValue("mediapickeralias")){
            var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("mediapickeralias")); 
    
             foreach (var image in mediaItem.Children.RandomOrder().Take(1))
            {
                <img src="@image.Url" alt="@image.Name" />
            }
        }   
    }
    

    Remember to change the mediapickeralias so it match your alias for the media picker on the document type.

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis
