Can you post the xslt you tried? Should be fairly easy to setup.

HTH,
PeterD

Sure. It's based on this post.

In my document type I have two fields:
External Link; Alias:externalLink; Type: true/False
Link; Alias: link; Type: Textstring

XSLT:

[code]

ah, so you have a property in your document and not a documenttype itself
Change this line:
[code]

That worked. Thank you.

nice one

Just what i needed, works great

might as well post my xslt as it also contains subpages and the above does not. Just to help others :-)

<xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when test="./data [@alias='externalLink'] = 1">
                <a href="{./data [@alias='link']}">
                    <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                </a>
            </xsl:when>

         <xsl:otherwise>
              <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                   <xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/@id = current()/@id">
                   <!-- we're under the item - you can do your own styling here -->
                    <xsl:attribute name="class">current</xsl:attribute>
                 </xsl:if>
                   <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
              </a>
            </xsl:otherwise>

This code is obsolete with the new 4.5 xml schema

To access nodes, data is no longer valid, to fix it I did:

            <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="externalLink = 1">
                      <a href="{linkext}">
                                       <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                                    </a> 
             </xsl:when>
              <xsl:otherwise>        
                         <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                                       <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                                    </a> 
              </xsl:otherwise>
               </xsl:choose>

is working on a reply...
