XSLT
Hi,

Here is the code i have to get create a link from the current node type but am getting the following error!

System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.
```
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
    <xsl:param name="link" select="/macro/link"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
```
```
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl('@link')}">This is the link</a>
```
```
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
```
Thanks in advance for the help

Hi Kelvin,

It's because your'e sending the string '@link' into the NiceUrl() extension - just remove the apostrophes:
```
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@link)}">This is the link</a>
```
It's usually also a good idea to check the value first because the extension will fail with the same error if no value is in the @link attribute (which can happen when you save the XSLT in the Backoffice):
```
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(@link)">
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@link)}">This is the link</a> 
</xsl:if>
```

Hi,

I still get the error. Also when i try the <xsl:iftest="normalize-space(@link)"> nothing is displayed

Am i calling the link parameter correctly?

Thanks

Kelvin

Ah - no, sorry :-)

I thought you were using a Related Link datatype

Replace @link with $link and you'll be good to go.
