Hi,

Am working on a navigational menu requiring both text links as well as images associated with eah page. The text links work fine, but I am stumped after trying to assosiate the images with the page link.

The navi should work like this: http://www.koriaarhus.dk/

My code:

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [@level=1]" />     
        <xsl:variable name="mainMenuItems" select="$siteRoot /*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']" />
          <xsl:apply-templates select="$mainMenuItems" />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template name="ShowMenuItem" match="*">
      <div style="float:left; width:87px; padding-left:12px; padding-top:7px;">
        <p class="link_paragraf">
          <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}" class="menulink">
            <xsl:variable name="mediaID" select="$currentPage/linkBillede" />
            <xsl:if test="string($mediaID) != ''">
              <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/linkBillede, false)" />
                <xsl:if test="string($media) != ''">
                <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" class="image" />
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
          </a>
        </p>
      </div>
    </xsl:template>

Hi Dwayne

Could you try to change this:

<xsl:variable name="mediaID" select="$currentPage/linkBillede" />
            <xsl:if test="string($mediaID) != ''">
              <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/linkBillede, false)" />
                <xsl:if test="string($media) != ''">
                <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" class="image" />
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:if>

To this:

<xsl:variable name="mediaID" select="./linkBillede" />
            <xsl:if test="string($mediaID) != ''">
              <xsl:variable name="media" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaID, false)" />
                <xsl:if test="string($media) != ''">
                <img src="{$media/umbracoFile}" alt="{$media/altText}" class="image" />
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:if>

Does that make any difference?

That did the trick! You addressed the top node with ./linkBillede, correct? And then called the variable mediaID instead of currentPage/linkBillede.

Yeah, you where trying to grab the linkBillede from the current page (by using $currentPage), but it should really grab it from the current node that's been iterated through (by using . instead - actually you could probably remove the ./ in front of the linkBillede as well).

And then I just used the id we found in the $MediaID inside the GetMedia-extension in the $media-variable :)

Exactly. I knew I was not addressing the proper nodes, rather the current page loaded in the browser. I was just uncertain how to address the page node associated with my images. So in order to grab the image from the iterated pages, we create a variable for the property, select the iteration at the top node and pass the property into GetMedia(), it would seem. And you are correct, it works without ./
