what do you get if you just put on your xslt above your a tag...

<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/menuDownload"/>

assuming we are using a media picker, we are looking for a nodeID from the media item

let me know... we will get this figured out!

Hi,

As you mentioned you should wrap the block in an IF statement to ensure that menuDownload has a media chosen.  If it doesn't, it will get an error when it runs.  If you did this and nothing showed up menuDownload was probably blank :)

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/menuDownload &gt; 0"> 
 <a>
  <xsl:attribute name="href">    
     <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/menuDownload, 0)/umbracoFile"/>  
    </xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:attribute name="target">
    <xsl:value-of select="'_blank'" />
    </xsl:attribute>
  </a>
</xsl:if> 

Let me know if that does the trick.  Note this is for a media picker.

Hiya,

Thanks for the quick responses, just tried using your code Tom which got me excited as didn't error straight away! so i have

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/menuDownload &gt; 0">
 <a>
  <xsl:attribute name="href">    
     <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/menuDownload, 0)/umbracoFile"/>  
    </xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:attribute name="target">
    <xsl:value-of select="'_blank'" />
    </xsl:attribute>
   Click Here
  </a>
</xsl:if>

But when i click on the link it's just opening a new blank browser window (Url is of the correct file etc) when i would expect it to ask to open or save?

Thanks again

Glad it worked!

Is it opening a blank window or a window with the PDF loaded inside the browser?  The open/save dialog is dependent upon the browser/computer - to force the dialog it you'd need to use some .NET code, otherwise it should just load embedded in the browser.

Hi Tom,

It is just a blank white page with no content unfortunatly, I see what you mean opening it in the browser window would be good enough for me!

Thanks

That's odd, but the URL is correct?  What happens if you copy/paste the URL into a new browser window?  Have you tried another browser?  Can't think it's anything to do w/Umbraco

Ah maybe not im just being impatient! does load in browser just takes a while (obviously!)

Cheers mate your a star

Don't suppose your a XSLT - SQL man are you heh heh
