Hi Stefan

I think there might is a syntax error elsewhere in your code where you have forgotten to add " somewhere.

Could you post all of the code perhaps?

I also suspect you could write the code in a more efficient manner, but let's see what you got right now first :)

Here's the code:

<div class="sidebar-container">
  <p class="sidebar-header shadow-light">Links</p>

  <ul class="links">

    <xsl:variable name="Links" select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//Homepage/SidebarLinks/SidebarLinksItem/" />
    <xsl:for-each select="$Links">
      
        <li>
          <a>
            <xsl:attribute name="href">
              <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(sidebarLinkUrl)" />
            </xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
          </a>
        </li>
      
    </xsl:for-each>    
    
  </ul>
</div>

From what I've found, It's just the variable "Links" that won't play nice :P

But again, I'm not sure if it's the correct syntax used in select="", even though it's working just fine in other contexts.

Hi Stefan

Try removing the last "/" in your variable. That part should not be neccesary.

/Jan

When I remove the trailing "/" from my variable, I get an error saying:

Error occuredSystem.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.
at System.Convert.ToInt32(Double value)
.....

When I remove the variable I don't get any errors. I just don't understand why I can get the correct values (without errors) when using the value-of select, and not in a for-each loop?

Hi Stefan,

I think you have to make a check on the property, To make sure that is not empty. http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbracolibrary/getmedia

<div class="sidebar-container">
  <p class="sidebar-header shadow-light">Links</p>

  <ul class="links">

    <xsl:variable name="Links"select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//Homepage/SidebarLinks/SidebarLinksItem"/>
    <xsl:iftest="$Links!=''">
 <xsl:for-each select="$Links">
      
        <li>
          <a>
            <xsl:attribute name="href">
              <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(sidebarLinkUrl)"/>
            </xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
          </a>
        </li>
      
    </xsl:for-each>    
    </xsl:if>
  </ul>
</div>

Hi Stefan

As Dennis mentions you can make a check to see if $Links has a value (it does not have a value, when you save the XSLT file and that's why you get the new error). You can also ignore this error by simply just checking the "skip errors" checkbox.

Then your XSLT file should be working just fine.
