    convert XSLT number to string

    Probably an easy answer but I don't quite know the syntax.  

    I want to convert a false value on a check box in the admin section, which returns 0, to a string that outputs the string word "False" so I can use it on the front end.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi Carlos,

    There's (atleast) two ways to do this - use whichever you feel is right:

    <xsl:template match="/">
    <!-- Grab the value -->
    <xsl:variable name="checkboxValue" select="$currentPage/checkboxPropertyName" />

    <!-- Method 1 -->
    <xsl:value-of select="translate(string(boolean(number($checkboxValue))), 'ft', 'FT')" />

    <!-- Method 2: -->
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$checkboxValue = 1">
            <xsl:text>True</xsl:text>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:text>False</xsl:text>
        </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
    The one-liner is the technically correct one, but may be tricky to understand, the other one is fairly straight-forward, though verbose ...

    Perhaps a bit more complecated still more righteous way could be even:


    <xsl:value-ofselect="umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem(boolean(number($checkboxValue)))"/>

    and than to define True/False in the dictionary.
