    Generating NiceURL from ContentPicker value

    Hi All,

    I'm having a issue with trying to create a NiceURL in my XSLT when picking a link using contentPicker.

    I know to how to create the NiceURL in the XSLT: href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(1050)}" but I want to get the value of the contentPicker and place it into my NiceURL.

    I have tried decalring it as a variable, placing a value-of within the brackets but just getting errors.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Tom

    As far as I can remember, the value stored by the content picker is simply the ID of the picked node?

    <xsl:variable name="chosenPage" select="$currentPage/data[@alias='YourContentPickerAlias']"/>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($chosenPage)}">link</a>

    (untested!)

    Dan,

    I tried that earlier but was just getting an error:

    "Value was either too large or too small for an Int32"

    Hi Tom,

    To avoid the error, wrap the niceurl call inside a xsl:if, to make sure there is a value

    like:

    <xsl:if test="string-length($currentPage/data[@alias='YourContentPickerAlias']) &gt; 0">
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/data[@alias='YourContentPickerAlias'])}">link</a>
    </xsl:if>

    Using Umbraco 4.5.1 and not getting this to work, causes an error.  Also, how do I get the title of the link?

    umbraco v4.5.1 has a new xml schema, check this wiki page http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt/45-xml-schema/xslt-examples-updated-to-new-schema
