Saving Mediaitem Saves Wrong Raw Value

[Bob Myers]

We are creating a media item then saving it, the value of the reference field gets set as a GUID and not as a media item, i.e., <image mediaid="{655F48CF-5F8B-4232-98D6-0DA0E288F9C2}" />

We are referencing "virtual SitecoreMediaItem { get; set; }" and the SitecoreMediaItem has been posted here before:

//Template - /sitecore/templates/System/Media/Unversioned/Jpeg 

    [SitecoreType(AutoMap = true, TemplateId = "{DAF085E8-602E-43A6-8299-038FF171349F}")]

    public class SitecoreMediaItem

    {

        [SitecoreField("Mime Type")]

        public virtual string MimeType { get; set; }

        [SitecoreField("__Icon")]

        public virtual string Icon { get; set; }

        public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }

        public virtual string Name { get; set; }

        public virtual Stream Blob { get; set; }

        public virtual string Extension { get; set; }

        public virtual int Size { get; set; }

        //keep adding other field that you want to copy here

    }

This is frustrating, any ideas?

Hi

You needs to use the Glass.Mapper.Sc.Fields.Image type and not you custom type if you are using and Image fields. For example my model might be:

public class MyModel{

    public virtual Guid Id{get;set;}

    public virtual Glass.Mapper.Sc.Fields Image {get;set; }

}

And my code will look like this:

MyModel model = service.GetItem<MyModel>("/sitecore/content/home");

Guid mediaId = "";  //this is retrieved from somewhere

model.Image = new Glass.Mapper.Sc.Fields.Image();

model.Image.MediaId = mediaId;

service.Save(model);

Let us know if you still have a problem.

Cheers

Mike
