Hi SinkyPars,

You could use the uComponents XPath DropDownList datatype, and configure it with an XPath expression like:

$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::HomePageDocType/descendent::TypeClientDocType

or (if using the lastest build)

$ancestorOrSelf/ancestor-or-self::HomePageDocType/descendent::TypeClientDocType

HTH,

Hi,

You can use XPath DropDownList from uComponents for this.  It supports setting the dropdown options via an XPath Statement, so you can do something like: $parentPage/ancestor-or-self::SiteHomepage//Client to select only "Client" documents under the current "SiteHomepage" tree.

Hope this helps,
Tom

You're getting quicker, Hendy :)

Great guys thanks!"

Ah, doesnt seem to work so I tried this:

$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@isDoc and name() = 'Homepage']/descendent::*[@isDoc and name() = 'Client']

But I still get:

:S

Any ideas why?

Thanks

Hi SinkyPars,

Is the current node published ?

Does it work if you test on the doctype alias rather than the node name ?

(the datatype will definitely do what you want)

Cheers,

Hendy

I think descendant is spelled wrong?  (e instead of i) ?

Oh yeah, oops ! well spotted :)

Could avoid having to remember how to spell 'descendant' using Toms example above.

is working on a reply...
