    UrlPickerState in Razor

    Hey so I am running 4.9 and have ucomponents v5.0 beta. I have a number of nodes all with a urlpicker property these nodes are in turn selected on a page using a multiple node picker.

    I am really difficulty in getting the value of the URL Picker here, the documentation seems to stop just short of my understanding and so I am a bit lost.

    When i output the value of my UrlPickerProperty I get type uComponents.DataTypes.UrlPicker.Dto.UrlPickerState but really not sure where to go from here. Any help would be really great, I have tried @n.BannerLink.Url but that errors. I have tried deserialising the value but it is epxecting a string (of course).

    I must doing something stupid but I dont know what.

    Hi,

    I think @n.BannerLink.Url should work.  But here is how you can deserialize it to get autocomplete, etc.  This uses GetPropertyValue as that always returns a string.

     UrlPickerState state = UrlPickerState.Deserialize(Model.GetPropertyValue("pieceLink"));
        if (state != null)
        {
            var targetAttr = state.NewWindow ? " target=\"blank\"" : "";
            <a href="@state.Url" title="@state.Title"@targetAttr>@state.Title</a>
        }

    HTH,
    Tom

    Hi,

    depending on the type of link you picked you may have to check the urlpicker mode to proceed:

    var link = @n.BannerLink;
    var href = "";

    if(@link.Mode==uComponents.DataTypes.UrlPicker.UrlPickerMode.URL){
       href = @link.Url;  
    }
    else if(@link.Mode==uComponents.DataTypes.UrlPicker.UrlPickerMode.Media){
       href = Library.MediaById(@link.NodeId).umbracoFile;  
    }  
    else if(@link.Mode==uComponents.DataTypes.UrlPicker.UrlPickerMode.Content){
       href = Library.NodeById(@link.NodeId).Url;  
    }

    <a href="@href">@link.Title</a>

    HTH
    Matthias

    Hi guys

     

    Thanks so much for your answers thanks for the tips about getting serialise to work Tom!

    I have marked Matthias's repsonse as the answer as this is what I have implemented in my code and it works fine.

     

    Cheers
