Hey Kevon,

Are you using v4.5.0 or v4.5.1?  (There was a minor bug in v4.5.0 with GetMedia).

Hopefully you are using v4.5.1, if so, then you were so close!

<img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />

Just needed to remove the 'Image' bit (that was the bug in v4.5.0)

Cheers, Lee.

4.5.1

I understand $media is a variable that gets it's value from the first element... so would this be correct:

 <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/myIMAGE, 0)" />
 <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />  ?

Yes, it looks correct to me.  Give it a go, see what happens! :-)

Well doing it this way

 <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/corDepartmentImage, 0)">
              <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />
 </xsl:variable>

I get the following output:

and doing it this way:

<div id="corDepartmentSummarySection" class="corDepartmentSummarySection">            
              <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/corDepartmentImage, 0)" />
              <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />            
              <umbraco:Item field="corDepartmentSummarySection" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
</div>

I get the following output:

ignore the font differences.  I'm using the alias of the media picker below in bold:

$currentPage/corDepartmentImage, 0)

Hi Kevon,

Where have you placed this code? in an XSLT or (Master) Template?

You can't use .NET controls (like <umbraco:Item>) in XSLT and vice-versa, XSLT tags in Templates (i.e. <xsl:variable>)

Let me know what you are using so far, then I can suggest a way to help.

Thanks, Lee.

I inserted this directly into MasterPage.  Please advise procedure.

Hi there Kevon

The XSLT that you have provided above looks right:

<xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/corDepartmentImage, 0)" />
<img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />

But to make it work, you have to place this code inside of a XSLT-file, and then place a macro containing the XSLT inside of your masterpage. You can do like this:

1. Go to the developer section in Umbraco and right-click the XSLT-folder. Here you'll choose to create a new XSLT.

2. Name the XSLT, and make sure that there's a checkmark in the "Create macro"-checkbox. Just choose a Clean XSLT-file.

3. Now you have created a new XSLT-file and a macro containing the file. In the XSLT-file you'll paste in the above code.

4. Now you'll go to the settings section of Umbraco, and insert the new macro in your masterpage.

5. You'll do this by clicking the small icon in the top called "Insert macro" - Choose the new macro you just created.

6. Save the masterpage and you should be done.

I hope the above mini guide makes sense and works for you :)

Problem:  I inserted the bold XSLT below in the Clean XSLT Template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets"
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets ">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

    <!-- start writing XSLT -->
    <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/corDepartmentImage, 0)" />
    <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" />           

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Upon save I got the following error:

Like Ambien, it worked like a dream.

Thanks.
