I'm building a user control which queries content using XPath.I need to make use of Exslt extensions (and umbraco.library), so I added the namespace using XmlNamespaceManager. But I'm still getting an error: XsltContext needed
What am I missing here?
XPathNavigator nav = content.Instance.XmlContent.CreateNavigator();
XmlNamespaceManager nsMgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(nav.NameTable); nsMgr.AddNamespace("Exslt.ExsltStrings", "Exslt.ExsltStrings");
XPathExpression expr = nav.Compile("./descendant::node[@nodeTypeAlias='Person' and contains(Exslt.ExsltStrings:uppercase(data[@alias='fornavn']), 'JENS')]");
Hi Christian, just a quick suggestion here - could it be something with the expression contect of your data element (missing appropriate context) ? I wonder if you reference the right content node by default here. If you want to use something like $currentpage you probably have to find it using something like
//node[@id=”currentNodeId“]
where currentNodeId is the nodeid for the current node, available from ((umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype.DefaultData)_data).NodeId.
Thank you for your answer. I don't think it has to do with the XPath it self.
This works fine (all nodes of type person where 'fornavn' contains 'Jens''):
./descendant::node[@nodeTypeAlias='Person' and contains(data[@alias='fornavn'], 'Jens')]
This doesn't work - because of the xslt-extension:
./descendant::node[@nodeTypeAlias='Person' and contains(Exslt.ExsltStrings:uppercase(data[@alias='fornavn']), 'JENS')]
I've made my own xslt-extension and tried to reference it in the same way, but I still get the same error. Everything works fine in a plain xsl-file, but for different reasons I need to work with the nodes ind the usercontrol.
I have not tried it myself, but you may need to do some extra work on the context. I found this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950806.aspx - maybe it's usefull (last section, putting it all together)

This works fine without

ahh, I see.

Assuming you are just after converting any case to upper case, you could actually use the xsl translate function if you wanted, e.g.
<xsl:variable name="lcletters">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="ucletters">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="translate('CaTeRpiLLar', $lcletters, $ucletters)"/>
in my case, I store the two variables in a common xslt include. so I can call the translate on any template that includes it.
