Hi All,

Have a 'AwardsItem' document type with a property called year. Would like to group the items by year and thougth I'd try at using keys. I'm using the old schema and Umbraco 4.0.4.2.

I have the following:

<xsl:variable name="documentTypeAlias" select="string('AwardItem')"/>
<xsl:key name="year" match="AwardItem" use="year" />    
    
<xsl:template match="/">
    
<!-- The fun starts here -->
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and (key('year', string(./data [@alias='year'])))]">

        <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
...

Been a while since I've used the old schema version version, so not sure of the syntax required for using keys.

Example XML:

<node id="1938" version="6cc4b9eb-b8c4-4251-9097-698265b01a43" parentID="1934" level="3" writerID="0" creatorID="0" nodeType="1935" template="0" sortOrder="1" createDate="2012-01-13T11:09:44" updateDate="2012-01-13T13:27:52" nodeName="Eurohedge Awards 2011" urlName="eurohedge-awards-2011" writerName="Administrator" creatorName="Administrator" nodeTypeAlias="AwardItem" path="-1,1057,1934,1938">
        <data alias="caption">Nominee for the</data>
        <data alias="summary"><![CDATA[Best CMS]]></data>
        <data alias="class">Nominee</data>
        <data alias="fundName">Umbraco Fund</data>
        <data alias="year">2011</data>
        <data alias="image">1937</data>
      </node>

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Try this...
```
<xsl:key name="year" match="node[@nodeTypeAlias = 'AwardItem']" use="data[@alias = 'year']" />
```
The "match" is matching against all nodes that have an alias of "AwardItem", using the "year" property as the index.

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Much appericated and thanks for the quick response.

Finshed xslt below - just incase anyone needs a similiar solution to group items by year.

<xsl:variable name="documentTypeAlias" select="string('AwardItem')"/>
<xsl:key name="year" match="node[@nodeTypeAlias = 'AwardItem']" use="data[@alias = 'year']" />

<xsl:template match="/">
    
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and generate-id() = generate-id(key('year', string(./data [@alias='year']))[1])]">
        <xsl:variable name="curYr" select="./data [@alias='year']" />
        <div class="awards-group">
            <h2>
                <xsl:value-of select="$curYr"/>
            </h2>
            <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and string(./data [@alias='year']) = $curYr]">
                <div class="awards-wrap">
                    <xsl:attribute name="class">
                        <xsl:choose>
                            <xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">
                                awards-wrap alt
                            </xsl:when>
                            <xsl:otherwise>
                                awards-wrap
                            </xsl:otherwise>
                        </xsl:choose>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                    <h3>
                        <xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias = 'class']" />
                    </h3>
                    <div class="info-block">
                        <xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias = 'summary']" />
                    </div>
                    <div class="fund-block">
                        <p>
                            <xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias = 'fundName']" />
                        </p>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </div>
    </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>
