Pass parameter to related link's alias
Hi everyone, I'm working in the related link's template, this starts with:
```

  <xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="string('alias')"></xsl:variable>
```
The question is: can I pass the 'alias' in a parameter from a macro? I try this:
```

```
```
 <xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="/macro/linkAlias"></xsl:variable>
```
but not works, can anyone help me?, thanks a lot.

Don't see why this shouldn't work. Unfortunately I encounter some trouble from time to time as well when trying to pass in a parameter from a macro. Looks like some names are reserved and/or caching of the macro creates some temporary trouble. Have you

- tried to add another parameter to the macro, e.g. like 'myParameter', of type text, and see how that works?

- tried to ouput the content of the variable directly at the beginning of the '/' template? Do you at least get the passed in content, even if the related links don't work?

If you get the parameter value through okay but the links are still not working try outputting the content of the data node for the alias, maybe explicitly converting the value to a string?
```
<xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="string(/macro/myParameter)" />
```
```
<xsl:template match="/">
```
```
<xsl:value-of select="$propertyAlias" />
```
```
node content:
```
```
<xsl:copy-of select="$currentPage/data[@alias=$propertyAlias]" />
```
```
...
```
```
</xsl:template>
```
