ImageField ImageID is all Zeros

Posted by Community Admin on 25-Aug-2011 00:00

I am adding an ImageField to a custom module that i am creating and when i try to get the Selected Image ID to store it always comes up as 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. Am I doing something wrong here?

<sf:ImageField ID="productImageField" runat="server" DataFieldType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Model.ContentLinks.ContentLink"

DisplayMode="Write" ShowDeleteImageButton="false" CssClass="sfprofileField sfprofileAvatar"/>

Hi Chris Salas,

Could you explain in more detail what do you mean by "try to get the Selected Image ID to store"?

productImageField.ImageId.ToString();

Sure, i have created a module, following the testimonials example, and i want to store the ImageID from the image in the database so i can use it later.

Hello Chris Salas,

I still do not follow. Could you please send us your entire module project so we could see what exactly is going on.

All the best,

Hi,
I'm having the same issue,

<sitefinity:ImageField ID="ImageField" runat="server" DataFieldType="Telerik.Sitefinity.Model.ContentLinks.ContentLink" DisplayMode="Write" />

This allows me to select an image from the library. When I press my save button in my control, I attempt to retrieve the information about the image I just selected.
But for some reason this is 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

Is this the wrong way to select an imagine in a Backend Module. If so what is the correct approach I should be taking.

Thanks
Martin

If you want to retrieve a GUID from the ImageField, I believe you need to set the DataFieldType to be Guid instead of ContentLink.

I talked a little about this on this blog post about using Sitefinity Fields in widgets:

I hope this is helpful, let me know if I misunderstood your question

Cheers for the reply,
I'm trying to implement this as a Intra Module in the admin area of sitefinity.

Is it the same approach.
