ucomponents url picker

Hi,

I just installed ucomponents and I'm using the url picker.

I was wondering if anyone can show me a simple example of accessing the properties of the XML in XSLT.

I'm new to XSLT and I don't even know where to begin.

Sorry for the noobness :)

Thank you!

Hi Elad,

I've not used it but from looking at their documentation here http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=UrlPicker&referringTitle=Documentation

If you have the results set to XML then you can grab the values like this:
```
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/NameOfYourAlias/url-picker/new-window">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/NameOfYourAlias/url-picker/node-id">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/NameOfYourAlias/url-picker/url">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/NameOfYourAlias/url-picker/link-title">
```
Let me know if this produces some output and then we can go from there.

Yep. That did the trick.

Just made a few small modifications. This is the line of code I endded up using:

<xsl:value-of select="./partnerLink/url-picker/url" />

Thank you!

Also added a little something to check for the new-window attribute:

<div class="partner-link">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="./partnerLink/url-picker/url" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:if test="./partnerLink/url-picker/new-window">
<xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
Website Link
</a>
</div>

Hi Elad,

Because it's just a string value, you'll need to test for the specific value 'True' inside the new-window element for it to work as expected (try unchecking the box and see that it will still render the target attribute) - you can do it like this:

<div class="partner-link">
    <a href="{partnerLink/url-picker/url}">
        <xsl:if test="partnerLink/url-picker/new-window[. = 'True']">
            <xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        Website Link
    </a>
</div>

- or if you (like me) prefer separate templates, like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
    ...
    <div class="partner-link">
        <a href="{partnerLink/url-picker/url}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="partnerLink/url-picker/new-window[. = 'True']" />
            Website Link
        </a>
    </div>
    ...
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="new-window[. = 'True']">
    <xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

Using Razor? Well so am I! Was looking for some help on how to do this in Razor. Finally found this thread here : http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/ucomponents/questionssuggestions/22766-Retrieve-URL-Picker-data-in-Razor ... which I'm posting here in case someone else might benefit from it?

P.S., I haven't actually tried the advice in the related linked page above. But it certainly looks simple/straight-forward enough to do!

Hi,

Having to update an old site and modify some XSLT (shiver). I've added a uComponents Multi-Url Pick and given it an alias of "link". I can't work out why I can't get to the data using either ./link/url-picker/url or $currentPage/link/url-picker/url

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/* [name() = $documentTypeAlias and umbraco.library:DateGreaterThan(offerExpirationDate,Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:datetime())]">
  
  <xsl:variable name="mediaId" select="number(image)" />
    <xsl:if test="$mediaId > 0">
        <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaId, 0)" />
        <xsl:if test="$mediaNode/umbracoFile">
         <div class="img-block">
            <p>## <xsl:value-of select="./link/url-picker/url"/> ##</p>
            
              <a>
              <xsl:attribute name="href">
                <xsl:value-of select="./link/url-picker/url" />
              </xsl:attribute>
              <xsl:if test="./link/url-picker/new-window[. = 'True']">
                      <xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute>
              </xsl:if>
              
              <img src="/ImageGen.ashx?image={$mediaNode/umbracoFile}&amp;width=950&amp;constrain=true">
                  <xsl:attribute name="alt">
                      <xsl:choose>
                          <xsl:when test="title != ''">
                              <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
                          </xsl:when>
                          <xsl:otherwise>
                              <xsl:value-of select="$mediaNode/@nodeName"/>
                          </xsl:otherwise>
                      </xsl:choose>
                  </xsl:attribute>
              </img></a>
          </div>

        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Craig

Panicked early again!

Turned out I had to use <xsl:value-of select="./link/multi-url-picker/url-picker/url" />

Hope this helps someone else.
