getting image from doctype

Hi everyone,

I've been having a problem again getting an image from a doctype (which I choose via the mediapicker). Here is my code so far:

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

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

        <xsl:param name="currentPage" />
        
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <ul id="listGalleries"><xsl:apply-templates select="$currentPage/descendant::* [@isDoc][not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]" />
    </ul>
    </xsl:template>
          
  <xsl:template match="* [@isDoc]">
    
    <li>
      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="galleryThumbnailImage !=''">
            <xsl:variable name="thumb" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(galleryThumbnailImage, false())" />
            <img src="/ImageGen.ashx?image={$thumb}&amp;width={$listThumbnailWidth}" alt="{@nodeName}" />
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <p>no image</p>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </a>
    </li>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I also don;t know why the top of my xml files seems a little different with different examples given here on the forum. For example, one starts with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
        version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
        exclude-result-prefixes="umbraco.library">

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

and another with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
        version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:umb="urn:umbraco.library"
        exclude-result-prefixes="umb">

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

and a third one:

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


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

Bit confused with that. Any explanations would be greatly received.

I have trie a few combos with getting getmedia to work (including just using umb:GetMedia - still don't know the difference between that and umbraco.library:getMedia?!) but no luck, I just can't see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light :)

Hi Sam

Try this approach instead:

<xsl:variable name="listThumbnailWidth" select="200" />
<xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="galleryThumbnailImage !=''">
            <xsl:variable name="thumb" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(galleryThumbnailImage, false())" />
            <img src="/ImageGen.ashx?image={$thumb/umbracoFile}&amp;width={$listThumbnailWidth}" alt="{@nodeName}" />
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <p>no image</p>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>

I couldn't see the listThumbnailWith any where in the code, so this should be created.

The difference between umb and umbraco.library is actually just how you want to reffer the extensions library. I think the umb-prefix comes from some of Chriztian Steinmeier's example :) You can use both methods.

Thanks Kim but that didn't work for me either. I have however just cracked it :))

Here's the code, maybe useful to anyone else:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
        version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:umb="urn:umbraco.library"
        exclude-result-prefixes="umb">

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

        <xsl:param name="currentPage" />
        
        <xsl:template match="/">
                <ul id="listGalleries">
                  <xsl:apply-templates select="$currentPage/descendant::* [@isDoc][not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]" />
                </ul>
        </xsl:template>
  
  <xsl:template match="* [@isDoc]">
                <li>
                  <a href="{umb:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="galleryThumbnailImage != ''">
    <xsl:variable name="thumb" select="umb:GetMedia(galleryThumbnailImage, false())" />
    <xsl:variable name="thumbWidth" select="$currentPage/galleryThumbnailWidth" />
    <img src="/ImageGen.ashx?image={$thumb/umbracoFile}&amp;width={$thumbWidth}" alt="{@nodeName}" />
  </xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
  <p>nothing here...</p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>     
                  </a>
                </li>
        </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks again Kim, you pointed me in the right direction.

Using code to solve problem is too complicated for me. But I will try the following code to try to get an image from a doctype:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
        version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:umb="urn:umbraco.library"
        exclude-result-prefixes="umb">

        <xsl:outputmethod="xml"indent="yes"omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

        <xsl:paramname="currentPage"/>
        
        <xsl:templatematch="/">
                <ulid="listGalleries">
                  <xsl:apply-templatesselect="$currentPage/descendant::* [@isDoc][not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]"/>
                </ul>
        </xsl:template>
  
  <xsl:templatematch="* [@isDoc]">
                <li>
                  <ahref="{umb:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:whentest="galleryThumbnailImage != ''">
    <xsl:variablename="thumb"select="umb:GetMedia(galleryThumbnailImage, false())"/>
    <xsl:variablename="thumbWidth"select="$currentPage/galleryThumbnailWidth"/>
    <imgsrc="/ImageGen.ashx?image={$thumb/umbracoFile}&amp;width={$thumbWidth}"alt="{@nodeName}"/>
  </xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
  <p>nothing here...</p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>     
                  </a>
                </li>
        </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thank you for your nice sharing, Sam. As for myself, I used to choose a 3rd party SDK to do with the conversion work whose way of processing is simple and fast according to its tutorials. But I want to learn something about program developing these days. So I will try these code later. THanks again for that. Good luck.

Best regards,

Peter
