Hi There,

Assuming you are running umbraco 4.5 and the new schema you can access this property like so:

assuming the property is called "myProperty"

<xsl: value-of select="$currentPage/myProperty"/>

This will work if the XSLT macro is on the template of the document type that your property is associated with.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Using XSLT

 i want to access child node's generic property 'ShowDate'.

Hey Rajeev.

Is the showDate property on the child node of the $currentPage ? if so you could use:

<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/child::*[@isDoc]/showDate"/>

This would return the showDate property of all the children under $currentPage.

OK ,But I am getting only last node's date in every iteration of loop.

 <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/child::*[@isDoc]/showDate">
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:LongDate($currentPage/child::*[@isDoc]/showDate)"/>
</xsl:for-each>

I want to show individual  date for each child node. Can you improve  this loop.

thanks for your quick response.

Hi Rajeev

If you run through all of the childnodes from the current page with your for-each and want to show the showDate property on the each of the nodes that you run through then you should be able to grab those values by changing your code to somethins like this:

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
<tr>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">
  <xsl:attribute name="style">background-color: <xsl:value-of select="$color1"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
  <xsl:attribute name="style">background-color: <xsl:value-of select="$color2"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
  <td><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
    </a>
  </td>
  <td>
    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:LongDate(@createDate)"/>
  </td>
  <td>
    <xsl:value-of select="myAlias"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="./showDate"/>
  </td>
</tr>    
</xsl:for-each>

Actually you where almost there, but just need to change this line:

<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/showDate"/>

to this:

<xsl:value-of select="./showDate"/>

You'll probably not even need the ./ but I think that should work if I have understod you right :)
