Hi Simeon

The extensions method you are looking to use has the signature:

 public static IHtmlString GetCropUrl(this UrlHelper urlHelper, IPublishedContent mediaItem, string cropAlias, bool htmlEncode = true)

So I 'think' - that the issue here might be how you are passing in the IPublishedContent item into the helper - because you are using V7, Umbraco.Content() doesn't return an IPublishedContent item it returns a dynamic object - if you use Umbraco.TypedContent() you should get the object back as an IPublishedContent item:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
    @using Umbraco.Web
    @{
    //because you are inheriting from UmbracoTemplatePage you already have access to the UmbracoHelper via @Umbraco
       // var UmbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
    //think this is just whilst you are testing? - Model.Content.Id should give you the current page id    

        var thisPageId = 12855;  
        var stringPage = @ViewData["pageId"];  
        thisPageId = Convert.ToInt32(stringPage); 

        var pageinfo = Umbraco.TypedContent(thisPageId);
        //pageInfo is now an IPublishedContent item representing the page iwth Id 12855 - if this is the 'current' page you could access this via Model.Content

        // now get the IPublishedContent item representing the Media Item (this uses PropertyValueConverters to convert the picked image into IPublishedContent 

    var mediaItem = pageInfo.HasValue("image") ? pageInfo.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("image") : default(IPublishedContent);

        //if you don't have PropertyValueConverters enabled < v7.6 then 
        // var mediaItem = pageInfo.HasValue("image") ? Umbraco.TypedMedia(pageInfo.GetPropertyValue("image")) : default(IPublishedContent);

        if (mediaItem!=null){
             var cropUrl = Url.GetCropUrl(mediaItem, "pagecontent_stz", false);
}

}

Anyway hopefully that gives the gist of what it might not be working!

Hi Marc,

Thank you for your reply! When using this code

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@using Umbraco.Web
@{
    var thisPageId = 12855;  
    var stringPage = @ViewData["pageId"];  
    thisPageId = Convert.ToInt32(stringPage); 

    var pageinfo = Umbraco.TypedContent(thisPageId);
    var mediaItem = pageInfo.HasValue("image") ? pageInfo.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("image") : default(IPublishedContent);
    if (mediaItem!=null){
        var cropUrl = Url.GetCropUrl(mediaItem, "pagecontent_stz", false);
    }
}

I get, that there is a "}" missing, what I don't understand.

Thanks! Simeon
