Try using parenthesis: ("Ecom:Group:Field.Picture" + one + ".Value.Clean");

Or String.format("Ecom:Group:Field.Picture{0}.Value.Clean", "1");

Hello Nicolai.

Thanks for your answer. I tried both and I'm afraid they don't work either :(

And of course this doesn't work too :

@GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.Picture" + i.ToString() + ".Value.Clean")

Hi Gaetan

Are you using the right object instance? In some of your examples you write @designer.GetValue(tag) others just @GetValue(tag)

I just tried this with several tags in my test site, and it works without any problems...

Can I see some more or all of the template?

Ok I'm not sure exactly what happened. I commented my code to write a clear demonstration of what worked and what didn't... And everything worked. Then I commented that and uncommented my previous code (which didn't work). And it worked right away. Maybe a cache problem or something like that.

Ok I've noticed a pattern. It seems like I NEED to directly call at the picture I want somewhere for the it to work. Prepare to be entertained...

This doesn't work (no output at all):

@{
    var designer = GetLoop("AssociatedGroups").FirstOrDefault(x => x.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.GroupType.Value.Clean") == "designer");
}

@for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    tagName = String.Format("Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture{0}.Value.Clean", i.ToString());
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(designer.GetString(tagName)))
    {
        <img src="@designer.GetString(tagName)" alt="@designer.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.Title")" />
    }
}

This works, but only for the first picture :

@{
    var designer = GetLoop("AssociatedGroups").FirstOrDefault(x => x.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.GroupType.Value.Clean") == "designer");

   string useless = designer.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture1.Value.Clean");
}

@for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    tagName = String.Format("Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture{0}.Value.Clean", i.ToString());
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(designer.GetString(tagName)))
    {
        <img src="@designer.GetString(tagName)" alt="@designer.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.Title")" />
    }
}

Even more amazing, this works too :

@{
    var designer = GetLoop("AssociatedGroups").FirstOrDefault(x => x.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.GroupType.Value.Clean") == "designer");

   //string useless = designer.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture1.Value.Clean");
}

@for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    tagName = String.Format("Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture{0}.Value.Clean", i.ToString());
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(designer.GetString(tagName)))
    {
        <img src="@designer.GetString(tagName)" alt="@designer.GetString("Ecom:Group:Field.Title")" />
    }
}

Hi Gaetan

Ah, that is because our code uses "TagExist" - meaning it will not render the tag if the tag is not in use. So if you do not have the full tagname in the code, TagExists returns false and the tag is not rendered....

Ah, that explains it...

I've put this at the end of my template as a workaround :

@*

    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture1.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture2.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture3.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture4.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture5.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture6.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture7.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture8.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture9.Value.Clean
    Ecom:Group:Field.DesktopCarouselPicture10.Value.Clean
