Fetch data from page in EPiServer CMS + URL to image + multi language pages are not working?

We are having a problem with images (URL to image property) not working when we use the feature “Fetch data from page in EPiServer CMS” in combination with multi language pages.

What we do is create a page witch has page property “URL to image”. This property has unselected “Unique value per language”. Then we create another page that gets its data from the first page using the Link type: “Fetch data from page” under the tab “Shortcut/External Link” So far so god – the image(s) will show up on the new page. Then we create a new language version of the latter page and the image(s) disappear (Other fields/properties will show up nicely).

Are we doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Step by step to reproduce our problem:

Create one page with at least one “URL to image” property (with unchecked “Unique value per language”).
Create another page (of the same page type) that will get data from the first page using “Fetch data from page in EPiServer CMS. Check that the image is fetched.
Create a language version of the page from step 2. In our case the image disappears…

And an alternative way to get the same problem:

Create one page with at least one “URL to image” property
Create a language version of this page (lang 2). The image will show up nicely.
Create a new page (of the same page type) using lang 2 that will fetch data from the first page using “Fetch data from page in EPiServer CMS”. In our case the image disappears.

We are using EPiServer CMS 5.2

Any help/input are appreciated

I have experienced the same thing. The problem is the getter on the Property method.

There is a solution:)

You can add you own logic on the getter, based on the default getter.

public class SyncPagesOnPublish : PlugInAttribute

{
    public static void Start()
    {
        PropertyDataCollection.GetHandler = EPiFixes.FetchDataFrom.OwnPropertyHandler;//override Property["xyz"]
    }
}

public class FetchDataFrom
{
    public static PropertyData OwnPropertyHandler(string name, PropertyDataCollection properties)
    {
        PropertyData prop = PropertyGetHandler.DefaultPropertyHandler(name, properties);

        if (prop != null && prop.IsNull && !prop.IsDynamicProperty)
        {
            //Lagt til så man ikke får engelsk ingress på franske sider
            if (!prop.IsLanguageSpecific)
            {
                PropertyData data = properties.Get("PageShortcutType");
                if (((data == null) || (data.Value == null)) ||
                    (((PageShortcutType)data.Value) != PageShortcutType.FetchData))
                    return prop;
                data = properties.Get("PageShortcutLink");

if (data == null)
return prop;

                PageReference pageLink = (PageReference)data.Value;
                if (!PageReference.IsValue(pageLink))
                    return prop;

                if (properties.Get("PageLink") != null && (properties.Get("PageLink") is PropertyPageReference))
                {
                    if (pageLink.CompareToIgnoreWorkID((properties.Get("PageLink") as PropertyPageReference).PageLink))
                        return prop;
                }

PageData page = DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(pageLink, LanguageSelector.MasterLanguage());

                if (page != null)
                {
                    data = page.Property.Get(name);
                    if (data != null)
                        return data;
                }

}

return prop;

}
