    Property alias as parameter (4.5.2, new schema)

    Hello Umbraco Colleagues,

    Can't figure out this simple thing in the new schema: I need pass the property alias as a parameter and get its value.

    This returns the property alias name, not its value (property is the parameter that represents the property alias)

    <ul>
      <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
      <li>
        <xsl:value-of select="$property" />
      </li>  
      </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

    Thanks for the help.

    David

    Hi David,

    You use the local-name() or name() functions for this:

    <xsl:value-of select="*[name() = $property]" />

    (name() is shorter and safe to use in Umbraco, so go with that - local-name() is used when using namespaces and gives the name without the prefix)

    Hi David.

    Try this one:

    <xsl:value-of select="*[name()=$property]" />

     

    UPDATE after posting my answer: Damn you're fast Chriztian. Or maybe I'm just too slow :)
