Hey Dominic,

Firstly, that video must be out of date as the XSLT above is for pre 4.5 versions of Umbraco.

You can upgrade the XSLT here http://blackpoint.dk/umbraco-workbench/tools/convert-xml-schema-to-45-.aspx

Maybe give that a try and let us know how you get on.

Rich

thats a handy page!!

new cod:

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices,',')//value">

<xsl:value-of select="selectedServices"/>

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)/@nodeThumbnail" />
</xsl:for-each>

Still not working :s

Is the @node bit correct? "@nodeThumbnail", i'm thinking that should be something else?

thanks

Hi Dominic

I'm suspicious that the @nodeThumbnail attribute in fact exists in the XML you get returned. But it's a bit hard to tell since we don't have any clue what the XML returned looks like.

What do you get returned if you write this...

<textarea>
<xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices,',')" />
</textarea>

(If you get something returned then either copy/paste the XML into an editor or just make the textarea larger).

Hey,

It's probably something more like:

<xsl:variable name="services" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices, ',')" />
<xsl:for-each select="$services/value">

<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
<xsl:variable select="$currentNode/nodeThumbnail" />

</xsl:for-each>         

Rich

Jan:

I replaced my code with yours and this is what i got the below in a small text box

<values><value>1088</value><value>1089</value><value>1090</value></values>

Rich:

I get errors on that code,

Error occured

System.Xml.Xsl.XslLoadException: Missing mandatory attribute 'name'. An error occurred at C:\Users\dombrown\Documents\My Web Sites\Umbraco Engine Reconditioner\xslt\634459968732824597_temp.xslt(21,2).

Hi Dominic

Ok, try altering Rich's sample to this

<xsl:variable name="services" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices, ',')" />
<xsl:for-each select="$services//value">

<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
<xsl:value-of select="$currentNode/nodeThumbnail" />

</xsl:for-each>

/Jan

I still just get the id's 1088,1089,1090on the services page

Could there be another area which i've done something incorrectly do you think?

thanks

Also, do you both think i am doing the right think for my desired output?

I was thinking the end user could just right click on the services page, create and subpage using the doc type with the thumbnail and details and that would insert it into the page?

thanks again

Which version of Umbraco are you using? My code example looks fine from here.

Rich

Hey,

Re: your question above, this is a ok solution, however I would use http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=RenderTemplates

Rich

i'm on 4.7.0

so it must be somewhere else i'm making a mistake?

i'll check that out, thanks

Sorry, I hand typed it, try this

<xsl:variable name="services" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices, ',')" />
<xsl:for-each select="$services/value">
<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
<xsl:value-of select="$currentNode/nodeThumbnail" />
</xsl:for-each> 

Rich

Still not working lol

Is my template correct?

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/umbMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="cp_content" runat="server">

<div id="mainServices">
  <umbraco:Macro Alias="SelectedServices" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

  </div>
</asp:Content>

Hi Dominic

The template looks allright to me.

What happens if you change this...<xsl:for-each select="$services/value">

to <xsl:for-each select="$services//value"> ?

/Jan

nothing lol

fyi, the id's were only appearing before because i left some field code for selectedServices in the template, i've now removed that and i get nothing

Must be going wrong somewhere ;s

I have another template for Services (sub services), is this correct?

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/umbMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>




  
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="cp_content" runat="server">



    <div id="services">  
              
            <div id="thumbnail">  
      <umbraco:Item field="thumbnail" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
      
  </div>
  
  <div id="details">
      <umbraco:Item field="details" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
              

  </div>
  </div>
</asp:Content>

I'm going to try this ucomponent, it looks really good, and there is a video which is great for noobs like me lol

Will let you both know how it goes

thanks

Seems like you were pretty close with your last solution!

You think?

I was thinking more about it and in the XSLT i had to name the node, that would mean i'd have to name it for each instance right? Thats no good for when the end user creates a new service.

I could be wrong tho, my knowledge is limited lol

Hi,

I just had a breakthrough, i removed the nodeThumbnail from the end and it now outputs the image location and the random text i entered in the details section.

/media/747/engine_recon.gifLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean a orci a ipsum luctus laoreet vitae dignissim erat.

Donec odio ligula, elementum vel imperdiet at, imperdiet eget lorem. Quisque nec libero dui. Nulla et vestibulum nisl. Nulla ut lectus turpis. Morbi suscipit, magna ac laoreet vestibulum.

I used this code

<xsl:variable name="services" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices, ',')" />
  <xsl:for-each select="$services/value">
<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
    <xsl:value-of select="$currentNode" />
</xsl:for-each>

Now, the question is, why the image location and not the image itself and is it linked to a template?

thanks

Hi Jan,

Sorry, just saw your reply after i posted mine lol

Does what i've done answer your post?

Hi Dominic

Ok that's cool - so now we just need to figure out what the rendered XML looks like.

Using the code you have posted above try just wrapping the $currentNode in <textarea><xsl:copy-of select="$currentNode" /></textarea> instead of the <xsl:value-of select="$currentNode" />

This should give you some textarea's where you can see the XML for each of the selected nodes.

Once you know the structure of the returned XML you know, which parts you should try to select.

/Jan

ok, i have 3 textboxes with my dummy data, here is a sample of one

<Services id="1088" parentID="1087" level="3" writerID="0" creatorID="0" nodeType="1074" template="1075" sortOrder="1" createDate="2011-07-11T13:16:07" updateDate="2011-07-11T13:26:04" nodeName="MOT" urlName="mot" writerName="admin" creatorName="admin" path="-1,1048,1087,1088" isDoc=""><thumbnail>/media/747/engine_recon.gif</thumbnail><details>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean a orci a ipsum luctus laoreet vitae dignissim erat. Donec odio ligula, elementum vel imperdiet at, imperdiet eget lorem. Quisque nec libero dui. Nulla et vestibulum nisl. Nulla ut lectus turpis. Morbi suscipit, magna ac laoreet vestibulum.</details></Services>

Dominic, 

The problem was your property is called 'thumbnail' so change your code to this and you should see a list of thumbnails.

<xsl:variable name="services" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices, ',')" />
  <xsl:for-each select="$services/value">
<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
       <xsl:value-of select="$currentNode/thumbnail" />
xsl:for-each>

Good effort Jan for getting this far!

Rich

yeah, i can enter thumbnail or details and it displays each, or if i put nothing it displays it all.

I had a feeling it was that nodename bit that was causing this, i tried a few different things last night with it but then this morning i removed the node and it worked lol

Excellent, glad you got it working.

If you could mark one of Jans posts as the solution to help anyone else who has a similar problem, and just to say thanks too :) 

Done and done!

Thanks alot to you both!!

Now i just have to figure out how to display it all how i want lol

The umbraco.tv video on this does not show you how to format the output of the content :o(

any ideas on where i can find out how to do this guys?

i need have it looking like this

thumbnail - details
thumbnail - details
thumbnail - details

and then when a new one is created it just slots in below

thanks again

What do you need your output to look like?

Rich

I need the thumbnail on the left with supporting details to the right and then the same under that for each new service added

Dom

I mean the HTML, do you have some HTML which displays what you need?

Rich

you mean in the templates right?

I have 2 templates, Main Services and Services

Main Services:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/umbMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="cp_content" runat="server">

<div id="mainServices">
  <umbraco:Macro Alias="SelectedServices" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
</div>
</asp:Content>

Services:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/MainServices.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>




  
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="cp_content" runat="server">



    <div id="services">  
              
            <div id="thumbnail">  
            <umbraco:Item field="thumbnail" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
      
  </div>
  
  <div id="details">
<umbraco:Item field="details" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
</div>
</div>
</asp:Content>

i set it up like this at the start because i thought i'd need to have different div tags for thumbnails and details so i could use them both in the stylesheets, but as you will see its only outputting the details from the macro in Main Services

its ok guys, i sorted it. I wasn't aware i could use html tags in the xslt!!

here is the code i used to sort it

<table border="0">
  <xsl:variable name="services" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/selectedServices, ',')" />
  <xsl:for-each select="$services/value">
    <tr>
<xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
      <td>
        <img>
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
       <xsl:value-of select="$currentNode/thumbnail" />
        </xsl:attribute>
      </img>
      </td>
     <td valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="$currentNode/details" /></td>
  </tr>
  </xsl:for-each>

  </table>

thanks you both, you've been legendary

is working on a reply...
