Hi, 

May be some xslt codes are missing. Could you please post sample code?

Pnima

You need to set recursive="true"

 <umbraco:Item field="homePageField" recursive="true" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

Rich

thanx rich ... it solved my more than 90% probelm of mine.

Just there is one more problem in that .....

i am using one xslt to truncate the string ...where the string comes from the parameter which is defined in doc. type "homepage"....this also i want to use in the "subMaster" template.

This is my xslt code.

<?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:tagsLib="urn:tagsLib" xmlns:BlogLibrary="urn:BlogLibrary"
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml
 umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes 
Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings 
Exslt.ExsltSets tagsLib BlogLibrary ">


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

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- start writing XSLT -->
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString($currentPage/solutionBlock1_content,60,' >>')"/>
  
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If you change your macro to accept a parameter containing the alias of the property that you want to truncate, then you will be able to use it to truncate any property, just included it in the template:

<umbraco:Macro PageProperty="solutionBlock1_content" Alias="XSLTTruncateString" runat="server" />

Modify the macro definition to have this extra parameter and then modify the macro:

Accept the parameter:

<xsl:variable name="pageProperty" select="/macro/PageProperty"/>

and use it

<xsl:comment>Output the value, just to demonstrate</xsl:comment>
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data [@alias=$pageProperty]"/>


<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString($currentPage/data [@alias=$pageProperty]
,60,' >>')"/>

This will work in Umbraco 4.0 and before.
