Hi Kukuwka,

It sounds like something has gone wrong in your installation, as you should only have one root "Content" node. You'll then create one or more site roots under this node.

To get at the root node, you'll want to use $currentNode/ancestor-or-self::root, but as I say, if you've got 2 nodes, something isn't quite right.

Hi kukuwka,

It looks like you're accidentally supplying the wrong context (or none) to your XPath expression - if you're inside a for-each statement and you use the above expression, you're asking for ALL node elements with the parentID -1, if that's your scenario, you'll just need to supply $currentPage as context - like this:

<xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@parentID = -1]" />

I want to use it in Data Types and not in XSLT Files .

So "$currentPage" not fit here.

Thanks.

So you're declaring some kind of datatype and you're using some XPATH to set the parent node ID, am I right? If that's the case you should be able to use $currentPage like you would in XSLT.

In principle you can select the root of any xml file via

acestor-or-self::root

and if you don't have the currentPage variable you can select it via

Snippet

umbraco.library.GetXmlAll()

So you can select the root of the content nodes via

<xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="umbraco.library.GetXmlAll()/ancestor-or-self::root" />

If I use:

string Xpath = "$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@parentID = -1]"; iterator=library.GetXmlNodeByXPath(Xpath));

I get:

 Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed. This query has a prefix, variable, or user-defined function.

How can I solve it?
