Hello...

Just when I thought I was getting it with XSLT, a simple thing slaps me in the face again, haha!

I followed the video on umbraco.tv t set up a RSS Feed. It all seems to be ok, but when I finally try to access teh page of the rss it displays the title, the description... but no node. The code is below and I have tried wih all the commented "for-each", but I can't find why it seem like no being able to get the nodes... it's the same expression I use on many other XSLTs through my page:

        </content:encoded>
      </item>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

It has to be something simple... but can't get what it might be as the paths seem ok and they're used throughout several other XSLTs. Any idea?

Thanks!

Hmmm... sorry for not looking at it earlier but viewing the source code of the generated rss page it seems like the content is there, but is not displayed in the typical manner...

It seems like it is outputting the "<" and ">" sign incorrectly as "<" and ">"... Weird? Why can't I get on well with XSLT? :). Thanks!

Hi,

It looks like there's an XSLT file that wasn't fully converted to the 4.5 XML format - the "node" template will never be instantiated...

Change

<xsl:template match="node">

to

<xsl:template match="*[@isDoc]">

- and possibly re-enable the *[@isDoc] predicate on the apply-templates instruction, too.

and see if something better happens...

Thanks a lot Chriztian, that really did the trick!

Eran, didn't you manage to solve it with Chriztian's solution? I just had to change the "match" as he said on the XSLT.

Thanks again! Cheers!
