    check if item in loop is news item

    Am i using the wrong syntax for checking the nodetypealias here? It doesnt seem to work. Always returns 'no' for every item even though i know for a fact some of the are using the news item document type.  

     

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [@isDoc]">

                <xsl:choose>

                  <xsl:when test="./@nodeTypeAlias = 'newsItem'">

                   yes

                  </xsl:when>

     

    <xsl:otherwise> no </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

    Hi Phil,

    You have to use "name($currentPage)"

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [@isDoc]">
                <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="name($currentPage) = 'newsItem'">
                   yes
                  </xsl:when>
     
    <xsl:otherwise> no </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>

    More info: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt/45-xml-schema/no-more-@nodetypealias

    Cheers,

    Bas

    Hi Bas Ive tried this but the node still says 'no'. so i then tried name(.) at a guess, this didnt work either. If i wanted to exclude a certain document type within my foreach line would it be this:

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [@isDoc and name() = 'newsItem']"> ?? this didnt work.

    Hi Phil,

    Use the self:: axis to test the name when you know it:

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/*[@isDoc]">
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="self::newsItem">
              yes
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise> no </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>

    If you only want to do something to newsItem documents:

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/newsItem">
    <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" />
</xsl:for-each>
