Hi,

I have managed to get the following output:

using the following XSLT:

<?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" xmlns:tagsLib="urn:tagsLib" xmlns:BlogLibrary="urn:BlogLibrary"
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets tagsLib BlogLibrary ">


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

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!-- Sub Nav Heading -->
  <h1>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/@nodeName"/></a>
  </h1>
 
<xsl:if test="count($currentPage/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
<ul>
  <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [@level=3 and @isDoc and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
      <xsl:if test="count($currentPage/*/* [@level=4 and @isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
        <ul class="subnav">
          <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/*/* [@level=4 and @isDoc and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
          <li>
            <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
          </li>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </ul>
      </xsl:if> 
    </li>
  </xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Now the problem is that the 4th tier child nodes are being printed for every 3rd child, instead of just only their parent. How can I constrain this?

Thanks,

Owen

Hi,

Another update. I realized that I cannot base my navigation from the current page because if I navigate within my subnav the "current page" is no longer a level 2 node.

So I have gone ahead and made the following changes:

<?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" xmlns:tagsLib="urn:tagsLib" xmlns:BlogLibrary="urn:BlogLibrary" 
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml
 umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes 
Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings 
Exslt.ExsltSets tagsLib BlogLibrary ">


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

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!-- Sub Nav Heading -->
  <h1>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 2]/@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 2]/@nodeName" /></a>
  </h1>
  
<xsl:if test="count($currentPage/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
<ul>
  <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant-or-self::*[@level=3 and @isDoc and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
      <ul class="subnav">
        <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant-or-self::*[@level=4 and @isDoc and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
          <li>
            <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
          </li>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Now this gives me the Parent Node (level 2) and the Level 3 children of the Parent Node. However the level 4 children are listed underneath every Level 3 Node, instead of under their correct parent.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Owen

Hi,

Still struggling with this, I am close as I am properly linking tier 2 and 3 nodes, just big problems on the tier 4. It seems that every tier 4 node found is being listed under all of the tier 3 node, instead of just the one its actually a child of.

Heres a SS:

Hi Owen,

Do you have a working HTML/CSS prototype of the navigation? Maybe we should have a look at that first and then decide how to best generate the desired output.

Also: Take a look at my answer here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/14812-Navigation-help?p=0#comment54648 - that might actually be a good starting point...

Hi Owen,

check this code. You will have only to adjust for your needs. Hope it helps!

Hello,

Thank you for your comments, I have been playing around with my XSLT a little more and I feel that I am very close to getting the desired solution.

I have omitted some of the generic code but my latest XSLT looks like this:

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
    
    <xsl:variable name="parentNode" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 2]"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!-- Sub Nav Heading -->
  <h1>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($parentNode/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 2]/@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="$parentNode/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 2]/@nodeName" /></a>
  </h1>
  
<xsl:if test="count($parentNode/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
<ul>
  <xsl:for-each select="$parentNode/descendant-or-self::*[@level=3 and @isDoc and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
       <ul class="subnav">
   //THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES
        <xsl:for-each select="$parentNode/descendant::*[@level=4 and @isDoc and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
              <li>
                <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
              </li>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

From my structure below you can see that the "Videos" section has two children "Campbell River Video" and "Test Video sub Page"

These should be only listed under the Videos section, but instead is being listed under all Level 3 nodes. I need a way of enforcing that the nodes only be printed under their parent.

Thanks for the help, hopefully this will lead to a more clear understanding.

Owen

PS: Yes, I have wrote this sub-nav in ASP.NET and had it working, however I would like to use XSLT as its a little tidier and generally there is more support for it here on the forums!

Still stumped, and I've tried a lot of different approaches and read a lot of forums.

No one has ever dealt with something like this before?

Owen

Hi Owen

Have you had a look at the link Chriztian posted earlier? It's really not more advanced thant that. If it's getting the "Home" node that's causing the problem, then hardcode it into the file.

I really urge you to take a look at Chriztians sample. That's a good way to achieve your goal I think.

Rory!

You are my savior! Thank you so much, I completely understand now!

Thanks again!
