Hi i have an issue here where i need to check if nodes under a folder with id 1315 are published. What am trying to do is if the nodes are published i will get the values and if not a message will be displayed instead.

So far he nodes are displayed when i publish them but when unpublish i cant get the message "No Page found" to display. I also have a max number 3 items being published.

here is how i proceeded.

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1315)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
    <xsl:sort select="current()/newsPublished" order="descending"/>
      <xsl:variable name="node" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1315)" />
             
     
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$node/@nodeName !='' and position() &lt;=  $maxNews">
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">                                     
             <xsl:value-of select="shortDescription" disable-output-escaping="yes"/> 
        </a>                              
      
    </xsl:when>    
   
      <xsl:otherwise>
        No Page Found
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:for-each>

Hi Fuji,

Unpublished nodes does not exist in the XML, so you can't really test their (non-)existence.

If you need to do something like that, you'll have to "unpublish" by means of a property instead (but that defeats the purpose, I think).

Hi Chriztian,

Thanks for replying. I somehow got it working by using some css hacks. So that when there is no value being displayed and image instead takes over.

But what if i want to add the image in my xslt instead...

 <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="position() &lt;=  $maxNews">
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">                                     
             <xsl:value-of select="shortDescription" disable-output-escaping="yes"/> 
        </a>                              
      
    </xsl:when>    
   
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <img src="myimg.gif"/ >
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

Here again i cant get <xsl:otherwise> to take over when the nodes are unpublished.

Hi Fuji,

I really don't think I understand - are you trying to add the image in case there's only e.g. 2 published nodes, so you can always have $maxNews items showing?

Hi Fuji,

OK - well, then try this:

<xsl:variable name="newsRoot" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1315)" />
<xsl:variable name="newsPages" select="$newsRoot/*[@isDoc][not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]" />

<xsl:for-each select="$newsPages">
    <xsl:sort select="newsPublished" order="descending" />
    <xsl:if test="position() &lt; $maxNews">
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">                                     
            <xsl:value-of select="shortDescription" disable-output-escaping="yes"/> 
        </a>                                      
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:if test="not($newsPages)">
    <p>No pages found</p>
</xsl:if>
