Hi All,

Thought this would be straight forward enough.  For the site map, I would like to exclude the document 'NewsItems'.  Taken the standard sitemap xslt below and updated the for each to:

<xsl:for-each select="$parent/* [@isDoc and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap and name() != 'NewsItem'] ">

Sitemap xslt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  version="1.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" 
 xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" xmlns:PS.XSLTsearch="urn:PS.XSLTsearch" 
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets PS.XSLTsearch ">

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<!-- update this variable on how deep your site map should be -->
<xsl:variable name="maxLevelForSitemap" select="4"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="sitemap"> 
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">  
<xsl:with-param name="parent" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [@isDoc and @level=1]"/>  
</xsl:call-template>
</div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="drawNodes">
<xsl:param name="parent"/> 
<xsl:if test="umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 0 or (umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 1 and umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() = 1)">
<ul>
  <xsl:for-each select="$parent/* [@isDoc and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap and name() != 'NewsItem'] ">
<li>  
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>  
<xsl:if test="count(./* [@isDoc and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap]) &gt; 0">   
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">    
<xsl:with-param name="parent" select="."/>    
</xsl:call-template>  
</xsl:if> 
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Although this removes the news items.  All proceeding siblings of the main news page (parent of news items) are nested under the news page.  Producing the following mark-up:

   ...
    <li><a href="/latest-news.aspx">Latest News</a>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="/useful-links.aspx">Useful Links</a></li>
        <li><a href="/terms-and-conditions.aspx">Terms and Conditions</a></li>
        <li><a href="/privacy-policy.aspx">Privacy Policy</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    ...

Which should be:

    ...
    <li><a href="/latest-news.aspx">Latest News</a></li>
    <li><a href="/useful-links.aspx">Useful Links</a></li>
    <li><a href="/terms-and-conditions.aspx">Terms and Conditions</a></li>
    <li><a href="/privacy-policy.aspx">Privacy Policy</a></li>
    ...

Have removed the umbracoNaviHide options, as I want to excluded items by datatype.

Thanks in advance

Eddie
