    Returning the URL of the a Content Picker

    OK I git this semi-working...this is my node structure, beginning with the Menu Items node ignore DeptHome

    this is my XSLT:

    <xsl:template match="/">
    <ul class="menuItem">
          <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1321)/corDeptMenuItem [@isDoc]">
                
            <li><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a></li>
                
          </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
    </xsl:template>

    the only other thing I need to change is the URL.  It should grab the URL of the Item Link: Property which is a content picker. I would like the NiceURL of the Human Resources node selected in the content picker above and not the links of the Billing, Payments, and Purchasing nodes themselves.  Any direction appreciated.

    Hi Kevon,

    Something like this should work

    <xsl:template match="/">
    <ul class="menuItem">
          <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1321)/corDeptMenuItem [@isDoc]">
                
            <li><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(itemLink)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a></li>
                
          </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
    </xsl:template>

    When you retrieve the value from a content picker, it will be the id of the selected node, so you can simply pass it into the NiceUrl function, instead of the @id attribute (which is the id of the node containing the content picker).

    Matt

    PS I've assumed your Item Link alias is "itemLink" so just change this to the relevant property alias if this is not the case
