How to work with Media Picker in Umbraco 8?

I'm new to Umbraco and I'm trying to use media picker on my site but for some reason the value is always null or empty.

I followed the steps in here but when inspecting the html code i get the following results:

<img class="img-fluid" src="" style="background-image: url('')" alt="">

Here is my code:

@{
Layout = "Master.cshtml";
var image = Model.Value<IPublishedContent>("mainImage");

if (image != null)
{
<img class="img-fluid" src="@image.Url" style="background-image: url('@image')" alt="" />
}  }

In the Backoffice i added my image in Media first and i did click save and publish. backoffice

I'm running on version 8.14.1

Solution

  • As you are probably using the new (to 8.14+) media picker, you might need to do things a bit differently (like so: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Fundamentals/Backoffice/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors/Media-Picker-3/ ) .
