Hello, I'm trying to create my first custom module and MVC templates. I've created the module and included a field called "Picture" of type "Related Media". I'm trying to create a custom list view for the module items and cannot seem to access the media properties. I keep getting this error in the error log:
Message : 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.Mvc.Models.DynamicDataItemFieldAccessor' does not contain a definition for 'Picture'
Here is the relevant code from my template - I started by copying the default list template and made modifications. Am I referring to the Picture field incorrectly? Thanks for any help you can offer.
@model Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.DynamicContent.Mvc.Models.DynamicContentListViewModel
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.DynamicContent.WidgetTemplates.Fields.Helpers;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ContentLinks;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.Mvc.Helpers;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.Mvc.Models;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.DataResolving;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Model.ContentLinks;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages;
@Html.Script(ScriptRef.JQuery, "top", false)
<div class="wrapper">
<ul class="list" id="LOList">
@foreach (var item in Model.Items)
{
var navigateUrl = HyperLinkHelpers.GetDetailPageUrl(item, ViewBag.DetailsPageId, ViewBag.OpenInSamePage, Model.UrlKeyPrefix);
<li @Html.InlineEditingAttributes(Model.ProviderName, Model.ContentType.FullName, (Guid)item.Fields.Id)>
@if(item.Fields.Picture != null)
{
<img src='@Html.Raw(item.Fields.Picture.Fields.MediaUrl)' alt='@item.Fields.Picture.Fields.AlternativeText' title='@item.Fields.Picture.Fields.Title' />
} else {
<img src="/img/placeholder.png" />
}
<br />
<a class="name" @Html.InlineEditingFieldAttributes("Name", "ShortText") href="@navigateUrl"> @item.Fields.Name </a><br />
@item.Fields.Phone </li>
}
</ul>
</div>I don't think you need the @html.raw for the Picture field.
Use:
<img src='@item.Fields.Picture.Fields.MediaUrl' alt='@item.Fields.Picture.Fields.AlternativeText' title='@item.Fields.Picture.Fields.Title' />
Thanks for the suggestion, but using the above, I get this message error in the logs:
Message : 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Fields'

I don't think it's able to see the fields of the related image. Is there a helper or some other class I need to include so that it can read those related fields?
I was able to find a class to include in the file. I have added '@using Telerik.Sitefinity.RelatedData' to the declarations. But still receive the error.
Looks like you enabled the field to allow for multiple images to be selected thus the item returned from item.Fields.Picture is of type System.Array and holds a collection of the images. If you want it to be an single item selector you must change the way the field works. So try accessing the field like this:
@if(item.Fields.Picture != null){
foreach(var pic in item.Fields.Picture){
<div><img src="@pic.Fields.MediaUrl" /></div>
}
}I figured it out - I needed to limit the module to allow only one related image. That, plus adding the relatedData class made my original code work.
Yeah, I'd just figured that out too. Thank you!
