    reading content picker property in Umbraco 8.

    Hi,

    I followed the below url and could not read content picker. Does Umbraco 8 support content picker?

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/content-picker/

    @{
    IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("contentPicker"); //contentPicker is the alias name
    if (typedContentPicker != null)
    {
        <p>@typedContentPicker.Name</p>
    }
}

    Hello, Nagarjun

    Get the value of content picker property, To use the ID on your page, you need to write some code similar to

    For content:

    @{ var page = Umbraco.TypedContent(1234); }

<h3>@page.GetPropertyValue<string>("propertyAlias") </h3>

@foreach (var child in page.Children) { <a href="@child.Url">@child.Name</a> }

    For Images:

    @{
var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(<ID>);
var mediaUrl = mediaItem.Url;
}

    See

    https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/querying/umbracohelper/#working-with-media

    for more details on this.

    Hi Nagarjun,

    You code seems correct. Do you get any errors ?

    And what do you see if you change the code to this :

    @{
    IPublishedContent typedContentPicker = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("contentPicker"); //contentPicker is the alias name
    if (typedContentPicker != null)
    {
        <p>@typedContentPicker.Name</p>
    }
else {
<p>No content found from picker</p>
}
}

    Hi Dave,

    Right now, it is not entering into if condition. it always returns null. I use version 8.6.4

    I used sample site that comes with umbraco site and tried to add 'contact' page as content picker in blog page.

    Hi,

    Yes, Umbraco 8 supports content picker.

    Check please that you really have that value, property alias and are you using content picker as datatype?

    Thanks,

    Alex
