Forget it, Its solved. I was bringing the whole node back as I hadn't specified which bit I wanted.

Not sure what the other bit of code was doing to generate the error but it's working now.

I'm having the same issue, what did you do to fix it?

Hi MediaCrisis

This is the line that fixed the issue for me

[code]

[/code]

I'd forgotten to put the /data blah blah blah bit on the end. So Umbraco was pulling back the whole node. That was why I was getting what appeared to be 2 filenames jammed together. For some reason my brain really doesnt want to learn XSLT syntax!

I'm up against the same problem with the filename but it seems the new forum has eaten your solution.

as a matter of fact any code snippets inserted into the forum prior to this new forum have disappeared???

man how friggin frustration is this

With all the code in :)

Hello,

I'm using Umbraco 4.5 and I'm getting a similar long link but I do not understand how to get ONLY the path. 1135 is an id of a picture in Media. The code returns

<img src="/media/1435/nieuws2.jpgjpg14694"> which is to much obviously. 

select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1155, 0)/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']" returns nothing (<img src="">).

Help would be much appreciated ;-)

Hi Teus

In 4.5 the syntax is a little different due tot he different xml schema

<xsl:variable name="Banner" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1135, 0)/*/umbracoFile"/>

Should get you the path to the file

Dan

Thanks Dan, that was the trick. Is there documentation somewhere about this ?

And another question springs to mind: 

<xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1135, 'true')"/>

produces the xml of the media item:

<file id="1135" 
    version="8aabae69-333a-4f98-a91b-3e542792a6aa"
    parentid="-1"
    level="1"
    writerid="0"
    nodetype="1033"
    template="0"
    sortorder="81"
    createdate="2010-07-13T11:11:26"
    updatedate="2010-07-13T11:11:29"
    nodename="Nieuws2"
    urlname="nieuws2"
    writername="Administrator"
    nodetypealias="File"
    path="-1,1135">

    <umbracofile>/media/1435/nieuws2.jpg</umbracofile>
    <umbracoextension>jpg</umbracoextension>
    <umbracobytes>14694</umbracobytes>
</file>

So why doesn't this(* = file) work? (Please note that I studied XSLT for 3 hours ;-) )

<xsl:variable name="Banner" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1135, 0)/file/umbracoFile"/>

Hi Teus

Using true() as the second paramater instead of false() or 0 actually recursively gets all media nodes under the selected node as well.  This can be a bit of a performance hog so is best avoided unless you specifically want the children of the selected media item.

The default media file node is called File, so this should work

<xsl:variable name="Banner" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1135, 0)/File/umbracoFile"/>

Also, you may want to watch that it's a File and not an Image.  If it could be either then you'd be best to use the * selector.

Also this wiki page may help -> http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt/45-xml-schema

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks Dan, thats clear.
