XSLT confusion

Hi,

I've just installed and starting using Umbraco 4.6.1 and am confused why

<xsl:variable name="longTitle" select="umbraco.library:Item($currentPage/@id,'title')"/>

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

returns a valid string containing my title field but

<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'title']"/>

returns a blank string. I'm sure this used to work with 4.0.2.1.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy

The XML schema in v4.6.1 is different from the one in 4.0.2.1. This means that you don't have to write this:
```
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'title']"/>
```
but you can just write this:
```
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/title"/>
```

Good to hear. Actually the XML schema changed in v.4.5 (formerly known as 4.1), but I'm glad it's working now :)

By the way Andy. If you prefer the legacy XML schema, you can find the following line in the /config/umbracoSettings.config-file:
```
<UseLegacyXmlSchema>false</UseLegacyXmlSchema>
```
and change it to this:
```
<UseLegacyXmlSchema>true</UseLegacyXmlSchema>
```
