Gah, sry for the double post :(

Got it!

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=$level]/../node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">

Hi Martin,

Glad you got it sorted!

In future you might like to structure your site so your pages are all under 'Home' of each site, like this:

 Domain 1
   - Home
   - About
     - Vision
- Domain 2
   - Home
   - About
     - Vision
- Domain 3
   - Home
   - About
     - Vision

Your structure (I imagine) was the reason that the navigation xslt wasn't pulling out all the nodes.

Hi Rich

With the structure you suggest, how do you go about not hardcoding the Home link since it's on a different level than the other subnodes?

Hi Martin,

This code should work (place it outside of the navigation loop)

<li>
    <a href="/">
        <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@level=1">
            <xsl:attribute name="class">active</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/@nodeName"/>
    </a>
</li>

Rich

Oh, never seen that before.

I'll bookmark this one and try it out for my next project.

Thanks for commenting!

That really didn't work out for me all that well.

When i change the level variabel to 2 in the original xslt in order to run through the child nodes of the "Homepage" node i dont get the level 1 node (Homepage) with the above example.

If i leave the level at 1 i don't get the child nodes at all.

Any advice here?

Hi Martin,

For your version, set the level to 2 and try this code

<li>
    <a href="/">
        <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@level=1">
                <xsl:attribute name="class">active</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root/node/@nodeName"/>
    </a>
</li>

Rich

Hi Rich

Oh, can do!

I'll get back to you on that one, thanks :-)

Hi Rich

No go, unfortunately. If the level i set to "2", i get the children of the frontpage node, but not the Frontapage node itself.

Hmm it seems that i'm not using the same XSLT anymore, can't remember when i made the switch :/

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<!-- Input the documenttype you want here -->

<!-- Use div elements around this macro combined with css -->
<!-- for styling the navigation -->
<xsl:variable name="level" select="1"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- The fun starts here -->
<ul id="menu">
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [@isDoc and @level=$level]/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
  <li>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*/@id = current()/@id">   
        <xsl:attribute name="class">selected</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
    </a>
  </li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Try the following XPath to select all document nodes under root (with umbracoNaviHide is false):

$currentPage/ancestor::root/*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']

This will:

• Go to the ancestor called root (which is aptly called 'root' and happens to be the root of the Umbraco XML file)
• Select all direct child nodes of any type (hence the *) that have the property 'isDoc' and do not have a child node called 'umbracoNaviHide' that contains the string value '1'.

You cannot access the root node using [@level = $level] because it has no property called 'level'. That is why your first XPath $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 1]/../*[@isDoc] did work.

• Go to the ancestor (or self) on level 1
• Go to the parent (.. means parent) which happens to be the 'root'
• Select all nodes with property 'isDoc'

Hi Thjis

Cool, i'll give it a go tomorrow!

Thanks alot for your effort, much appreciated.

is working on a reply...
