Hello,

I am trying to get some values from my "Home Node" properties.

On everypage there is a sidebar, and I need to set up some video attributes based on some properties set on the home node. The home node is a different document type than that of the content pages (with sidebar).

I wrote a XSLT file to get the values and pass them to my template on which they will be used in another macro to render the videos.

Here is what I have done 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="/">
  <xsl:variable name="homeNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(2986)"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$homeNode/video1NodeID" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>

Now 2986 is the Home Node.

video1NodeID is a string value of the "VideoNode"

On my template I currently have

<umbraco:Macro Alias="GetVideo1" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>


<div class="callout">
       <h3>ensemble videos</h3>
      <ul>
            <li>
                           <!-- here is where i need to get the value of the "GetVideo1" macro and pass it into this macro where VideoID is.-->
                           <umbraco:Macro VideoID="" VideoThumbnailURL="" Alias="HomepageGallery" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
                        </li>
     </ul>
       <a href="/video-galleries" title="view more ensemble videos">view more videos &raquo;</a>

I am fairly stuck and kinda new to XSLT.

Current version is 4.0.2.1

Thanks,

Owen
