Set image of ImageControl with Native API
Hello,
I'm trying to insert an ImageControl into a page, I have it partially done. I get the control on the page
but I can't set an image. I get the message: "An image was not selected or has been deleted. Please select another one." I tried it with image.Id and image.FileId but both not working. I searched in the
object for the same GUID as I see in the backend but I can't find that. So, how do I select an image?
ImageControl imageBlock = new ImageControl();imageBlock.ImageId = imageBlock.Manager.GetImages().FirstOrDefault().FileId;PageDraftControl imageBlockDraftControl = manager.CreateControl<PageDraftControl>(imageBlock, "Body");imageBlockDraftControl.ObjectType = "Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.PublicControls.ImageControl, Telerik.Sitefinity";imageBlockDraftControl.Caption = "Image";Hi Jens,
Notice that the ImageId of the control needs to be the Id of the image in Live version instead of the FileId. For instance:
imageBlock.ImageId = imageBlock.Manager.GetImages().Where(i=>i.Title=="The image title" && i.Status== Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live && i.Visible==true).Single().Id;Hi Junior Domingues,
Thanks for your reaction.
As I mentioned in my description I tried it with Id and FileId, both didn't work.
And because the Id field didn't work I started to try other fields like FileId.
Greetings,
Jens
Hi Jens,
Running a local test I was able to set the ImageControl using the API and using the image Id and the code snippet provided before as shown in this short video.
