Hi Profiterole

What does your event variable look like? Are you formatting it to only output the year? like umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(data [alias = 'eventDate'],'yyyy')

Oh!!! I forgot to set a variable before calling $evenDate!

Hmm...you did'nt get an error on the page then? :-)

But glad you got it solved.

So, ok I set this : 

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($albumSource)/node">
<xsl:sort select="data [@alias = 'eventDate']" order="descending" />

<xsl:variable name="eventDate" select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(data [alias = 'eventDate'],'yyyy')"/>

<xsl:if test="position() &lt;= $numChild and $eventDate = '2009'">
...
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each> 

but it does not work either

Sorry for the double post!

Where is the $numChild varaible defined?

And do you get any errors when you're saving the XSLT? Or du you get an XSLT error when trying to load the page? Saying it does not work is a broad error description. We need some more specific info to be able to help you out mate :-)

On the page where you are running the macro...try adding the ?umbDebugShowTrace=true to the end of the url. Do you get any error messages in here?

Ok, the $numChild variable is set in a macro (number). I don't get any error... it just don't display anything if I add "and $eventDate...". My xslt displays the number of node I asked and sort it correctly if I only use the first condition in <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= $numChild>, but I don't want 2010 events, so I add the "and $eventDate" part and it display nothing...

For the ?umbDebugShowTrace=true, it gives me a blue line with nothing under.

Is it clearer :)

Maybe try setting the eventDate variable inside the for loop like this:

<xsl:variable name="eventDate" select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(current()/eventDate,'yyyy')"/>

or

<xsl:variable name="eventDate" select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(current()//eventDate,'yyyy')"/>

Can't remember if you need a double slash or not ;)

Merry xmas!

Wow!! Thank you Chriztian, I was not aware of "starts-with" and now it works perfectly!
