Hi

In your checkbox...should it be possible to select more than one value or is your intention that it should only be possible to select one value? The solution depens a bit on that I think.

Hi Jan, I've got 3 sites within the one umbraco installation and then I've also got a 'news item' doc type. I've added a property to this doc type that is a checkbox list that allows the user to specify which site the news item should appear on. The property name is 'News Site'. 

The 3 checkbox values are:

Site 1: 5
Site 2: 6
Site 3: 7

Then on the home page of each site I only want to list news items that have the corresponding checkbox selected (I've put the part in bold that I'm trying to do):

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:choose>

  <xsl:when test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=1]/@id = 1048">

    <xsl:call-template name="renderNews">  

</xsl:call-template>

  </xsl:when>

  <xsl:when test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=1]/@id = 1056">

    <xsl:call-template name="renderNews">  

</xsl:call-template>

  </xsl:when>

  <xsl:when test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=1]/@id = 1063">

    <xsl:call-template name="renderNews">  

</xsl:call-template>

  </xsl:when>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="renderNews">

<xsl:param name="site"/>

news <xsl:value-of select="$site" />

                <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlAll()//node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'News Item' and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and @SiteNews = $site]">

                  <div>

                        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">

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

                        </a>

                 </div>

                </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

Thats nearly it Jan, I can now see the selected checkbox values for each news item. When I do this...

<xsl:value-of select="data [@alias = 'SiteNews']"/>

...I get a comma separated list of the checkbox titles which is good, but then I need something similar to a string.contains function or something...

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlAll()//node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'News Item' and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1'<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> <strong style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">and data [@alias = 'SiteNews' ]]"></span>

sorry, that last piece of code is meant to look like this:

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlAll()//node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'News Item' and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and data [@alias = 'SiteNews' ].Contains($site)]">

There is a built in contains function in xslt:

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlAll()//node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'News Item' and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1' and contains(data [@alias = 'SiteNews' ], $site)]">

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Hi,

I am also doing the same thing as jonok, but in my case when we select the sites checkbox list, it by default stores the values of selectedf checkbox but I want to store the ids of selected checkbox...  can any body tell me how to change the default property to dave IDs instead of Values....
