I am starting a new site using Umbraco version 7.6.1 assembly: 1.0.6337.40631.
I'm using Archetype as I have in a dozen other sites. I am using @Html.RenderArchetypePartials(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue
I've tried casting the object to a number of different things with no luck.
If I put a MediaPicker on my Document Type directly, I can see that the data is stored the same, but the base property converters work correctly and the usual Umbraco.Field("photo") returns the Id.
Here's how the data is stored:
Archetype: {"alias":"photo","value":"umb://media/1912ece0d5954e6891147e712d24ba69"}
Doc Type Property: ImageTest: umb://media/48e3a7837af44134a93e8d90141ece74
Is there a way to retrieve this from an Archetype? Am I missing something simple?
I tried so many things, I'm not sure which one did it, but it all the sudden started returning the media id as expected. I reinstalled everything from nuget and i'm assuming that did it. Obviously one of the type converters wasn't working correctly for some reason.
I had read that. And I will be looking out for those changes as I update my current sites. This site that I was struggling with was a brand new site and my first one that started with 7.6 Umbraco. I did notice in the definitions that the property editor name was MediaPicker2. I'm guessing that's the new one mentioned in the article.
I was used to Model.GetValue(xxx) returning the ID of the media. As I circled back to this yesterday, I finally started a new Document Type to start from scratch. I did finally get this to work as intended using your suggestion of using the generic to cast it to IPublishedContent. Model.GetValue
I am anxious to see how the upgrade works and affects some of my current sites. I guess that's my next task. But your help certainly got me over the hump on this one.

Hi Trent
Try to use this code:
"Umbraco.Core.Udi[]" is a type of unified ids that are using in Core with Property Value Converters for getting all data directly from entities.
Thanks,
Alex
Thank you, Alex.
I tried so many things, I'm not sure which one did it, but it all the sudden started returning the media id as expected. I reinstalled everything from nuget and i'm assuming that did it. Obviously one of the type converters wasn't working correctly for some reason.
But I do appreciate your reply!
Trent
You are welcome, Trent.
Ids or UDI settings defined in config option in umbracoSettings.config
