    Content Tree w. subfolders

    Basically I wanted to create a navigation menu with webpages divided into subfolders.

    So I first created my content tree like this :

    Content
    -Website
    -- Home
    -- Credits
    -- Links
    -- Login
    -Band
    -- Band News
    -- Biography
    -- Members
    -Music
    -- ...

    Etcetera, etcetera, I guess you get the picture.

    I didn't use a root folder, because I wanted my links to be :
    - \home.aspx
    - \credits.aspx
    - ...

    If I would've used a root folder, they would have been :
    - \website\home.aspx
    - \band\biography.aspx


    Now I want to create an XLST navigation menu with level 1 elements "Website", "Band", "Music",... and level 2 elements "Home", "Credits", "Links",... but I can't figure out a way to call my level 1 elements.

    If I use

    Forgot to mention this :

    I wouldn't mind using a root folder, if someone could show me how I could strip the subfolder name from the URL.

    E.g. my content tree :

    Content
    -Root
    -- Website
    --- Home
    --- Links
    -- Band
    --- Band News
    ...

    should result in :

    - {domain}/home.aspx
    - {domain}/links.aspx
    - {domain}/band-news.aspx
    - ...

    instead of :

    - {domain}/website/home.aspx
    - {domain}/website/links.aspx
    - {domain}/band/band-newsaspx

    node[@level=0] does not exist.. it is root.

    $currentPage/ancestor::root/node

    RE: stripping the level1 nodes, there is a setting in the web.config to do so. Umbraco generates urls for both the level 1 and level 2 nodes as if they are at the same level. Be careful though, as duplicate level 2 nodes across all trees will result in the first match being shown -- IE website/news and band/news would have the same url of /news.aspx - website/news would show.

    Great! The "ancestor::root"-method works perfectly!
    Many thanks...
