Hi Martin,

First of all, are you running version 4.5+? Your XSLT seems to be a mix between the new and old schema... :)

Ancestor-or-self would be the way to get the property recursively.

Yeh I’m running 4.6.1 to be precise

It’s my first large project in Umbraco so I’m kind of learning as i go :)

Allot of the guides online are from the old XSLT so gotta confess, I get confused from time to time.

Shameless bump

Hi again,

What I would do is this:

Create a variable, call it data:

 <xsl:variable name="data" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::language[@isDoc]" />

You have to replace "language" with the documenttype alias of the language node. The variable above will look for ancestor-or-self of type "language", which is a document and not a property [@isDoc]

And create two variables more, one for the href and one for the img:

<xsl:variable name="Img" select="$data/submenuImage01" />

<xsl:variable name="Link" select="$data/submenuLink01" />

The variables above uses the data-variable and therefore looks for the two properties at the "language" doc.

Now you should be able to do something like this:

    <xsl:if test="$Img !='' and $Link !=''">
      <xsl:variable name="ImgLink" select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($Link)"/>
      <xsl:variable name="imageFromMedia" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($Img, 0)/umbracoFile" />
      <a href="{$ImgLink}">
        <img src="{$imageFromMedia}" />
      </a>
    </xsl:if>

The above code only work if: 1. "submenuImage01" is of type Media Picker and 2. "submenuLink01" is of type Content Picker. Try it out. :)

And please remember to create some cool title- and alt-tags for the image and link. You could add these properties at the language-node and get them like "Img" and "Link"... :)

Thanks for the reply :)
I will test it tonight or tomorrow at work.

Im pritty sure i understand the syntax now.

You could also take a look at this Wikipage, which explains the difference between the old and the new XML schema:

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt/45-xml-schema

And some XSLT examples which show the difference:

Good luck! And feel free to reply if it doesn't work...

If you're looking for a media picker with some extra features I've created the Digibiz Advanced Media Picker in which you can do a lot more! You can find a sample on how to use it here: http://screenr.com/TEY.

Thanks for the Berntsen. Your post was a great help, but it still dosnt fetch the data from the parent page.
I'm gonna do some troubleshooting later today and see if i can get it fixed.

Hi Martin,

Did you receive any kind of errors or did the data just not show?

Btw. "Thanks for the Berntsen" is a great typo... :D

haha. i was @ a tecture at school. Wasnt concentrating :P

I got no error while saving. 

I added a <p>test</p> within the 'if' to see if it got any data. But the para. didnt show.

i just a hold of 'An introduction to XML and Web Technologies'... It should be a help.

I worked with C# prior to this, so it should be "easy" to master

Try to get the values from the two variables then:

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

and

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

Any luck?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Haha what a great typo :P

Im have my studys this week end got some papers to write, so got off work. But ill spend my evenings figuring this out. And i will reply the second i get some new information.

Regarding errors i get none, i saved the XLTS with no problems.

I added a paragraph to the If sentence, saying "test" and it did not show, so i figured that it dosnt read any data.

Ill try and fix it this Friday at the latest.

Also i borrowed a book from my former teacher regarding XML and XLTS programming.

Thanks
