Hi I'm trying to add an XPath filter to prevent the user picking the current node. I experimented with this:
/*[@id=1345]
Which works for that one case, but I need to substitute the hard coded ID for the current ID. So I tried this:
/*[@id=$currentPage/@id]
But I get XPath errors all over my node picker. Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve my goal?
Cheers. Murray.
Hi Murray.
The reason you get the error when using $currentPage is because you can't use the $currentPage in the Multi node tree picker as far as I know.
Don´t know if you have seen this documentation before, but here are some of the Xparth selections that you can do with the Multi node tree picker.
For $currentPage as I see it you have to use Xpath self::*

Hope this helps,

self::* refers to the node being evaluated to see if it should be included or excluded by the filter, it does not refer to the node we're editing.
self::*
$currentPage does work in the "XPath expression" setting field, but it does not work in the "XPath filter" setting field.
