Hi Bob,

I wrote a blog post about using GetMedia a while ago. [link]

The common misconception of using the GetMedia function is that it will return the image path - instead it returns an XML document that contains all the properties of that media item.

My advice for "best practise" is to follow how I use GetMedia in my blog post - as in, testing each part as a value (in order to prevent any errors)

However if you would like a single line to copy-n-paste, use this:

<img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/mediaItem, 0)/umbracoFile}" />

Cheers, Lee.

I have made a website in umbraco. i first created it in turkish language then i copied that node in content node and set a new hostname for that. so now my site is in two languages. But after i have converted my site into multilingual site, i am having problem in rendering image. I am using getMedia method to render image, but images renders some times and some times i got empty src. I have searched a lot on net but i did not find any solution.

<!--1<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($bookImage,'false')/umbracoFile" />
