Hi Tizer,

Can you assume to key the start of the four week period from the publish date ? If so when rendering calculate the number of weeks from publish and show the item in the CSV of the content picker at that index.

Here's a blog post about UltimatePicker and XSLT which covers parsing CSVs, and here's a post about comparing dates in XSLT

HTH,

Hi Tizer,

Sorry, my mistake, I had assumed you're using a MultiPicker, but if you're using four seperate content pickers, it's even easier, as it's just the date compare, and then swich to render the appropriate one.

Cheers,

Hendy

Hi Tizer,

I aggree with Hendy, but as I understand it you would like to pick out four content nodes on a regular basis with no relation to the createDate. If this is the case I would suggest adding an extra property for each of the four content pickers - type: textstring - alias weekInYear - like this:

contentPicker_1
weekInYear_1
contentPicker_2
weekInYear_2
....

Then you would pick out the nodes and enter the appropriate week number for showing each node. Then in your xslt (new schema) you could add the following:

<xsl:variable name="thisWeek" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:weekinyear()"/>

<xsl:variable name="content1" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contentPicker_1)"/>
<xsl:variable name="content1" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contentPicker_2)"/>
<xsl:variable name="content1" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contentPicker_3)"/>
<xsl:variable name="content1" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($contentPicker_4)"/>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$currentPage/weekInYear_3 = $thisWeek">
  <!-- show content picker 3 -->
  <h2><xsl:value-of select="$content3/@nodeName"/></h2>
  <xsl:value-of select="$content3/bodyText"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$currentPage/weekInYear_2 = $thisWeek">
  <!-- show content picker 2 -->
  <h2><xsl:value-of select="$content2/@nodeName"/></h2>
  <xsl:value-of select="$content3/bodyText"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$currentPage/weekInYear_1 = $thisWeek">
  <!-- show content picker 1 -->
  <h2><xsl:value-of select="$content1/@nodeName"/></h2>
  <xsl:value-of select="$content1/bodyText"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
  <!-- show content picker 4 because the week number will match OR you have not yet updated your method -->
  <h2><xsl:value-of select="$content4/@nodeName"/></h2>
  <xsl:value-of select="$content4/bodyText"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

I haven't tested the code, so please get back to me if it failes or you need further info. Of course I would also add a <call-template> :-) ...

Søren

Thanks Hendy and Søren - some great info and links there...

It shows me that I have a long way to go to learn all about umbraco.

I'll post back with my solution

Thanks again

is working on a reply...
