How to get Related Social Media object from Sitefinity in C# (OpenGraphDescription)-CodePudding

I am currently struggling with getting a specific custom field from an object in Sitefinity.

The object's custom field is of type Social media (OpenGraph), meaning it's an o-g meta data description property:

I tried these:

var test = _event.GetRelatedItems<DynamicContent>("OpenGraphDescription");
var test1 = _event.GetRelatedItems<IDataItem>("OpenGraphDescription");

But didn't work.

I am, however, able to get Image OG metadata doing:

var image = item.GetRelatedItems<Image>("OpenGraphImage").FirstOrDefault();

The only difference I see is that I'm getting that one converting it to an internal Sitefinity model (Image). So maybe I'm missing some model type..

I appreciate the help!

FYI, the dynamic ItemViewModel is SO MUCH easier to work with than the default API.

@{
  var itemVM = new ItemViewModel(yourDynamicItem);
}

<h1>@itemVM.Fields.OpenGraphDescription</h1>

You don't need to worry about the types because everything off Fields is dynamic
