    xslt DataTyle True/False

    Warning - xslt dummy here :)

    I have a True/False datatype called 'onoff' and was hoping I could use it to turn items on of off on a page... but I am getting something wrong - This is my code:

    <xsl:choose>

    <xsl:when test="$currentPage/onoff = '1'">
    <div class="show">
    <!-- Content -->
    </div>
    </xsl:when>

    <xsl:otherwise>
    <!-- Empty -->
    </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

    But what I am getting is always the Empty comment.... the DataType is a checkbox which you tick or untick...

    Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Or any more efficient methods of acheiving the same thing - I'm always willing to learn.

    Hi Tizer,

    That *should* work, so I'm guessing the alias is actually "onOff" ?

    (E.g., if you Labeled it "On/Off" on the property, the allias would be transmogrified into "onOff")

    To be sure, you can dump the entire currentPage XML to a textarea and examine it:

     <textarea rows="8" cols="40"><xsl:copy-of select="$currentPage" /></textarea>

    Hey Chriztian - I found this in the dump when it was checked

    <data alias="onoff">1</data>

    And this when it was unchecked

    <data alias="onoff">0</data>

    Ah - sorry - I have figured it out - it is an older install of umbraco which is using legacy code - this i what I needed to use... the new code looks much easier though :)

    <xsl:when test="$currentPage/self::node/data[@alias = 'onoff'] = '1'">

    That is a great tip regarding dumping the  currentPage XML though - I think I might be using that lots - thanks

    Hi Tizer,

    That explains it :-)

    PS: Have a look at the XMLDump package for a steroids-powered view of the XML :-)

    PPS: You can strip the self::node part from that XPath:

    <xsl:when test="$currentPage/data[@alias = 'onoff'] = 1">
