Get subpage from a specific parent.

I am an absolute xslt beginner and am developing my first umbraco application.

I want to list all the sub nodes of a parent where the name of the parent remains fixed.

Here is my node structure

Home
-Abc
-efg
-hij

About Us
-blah
-blah

i want to write an xslt file where it always returns the children of Home. Even when i am navigation thru the about us page.

I only want the results to be one level deep.

I know there is a topic like this on umbraco forums but i have tried that and its not working for me[me=umbraco beginner].

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi amein,

Here's a start:
```
<xsl:variable name="homeNodeId" select="/macro/homeNodeId" />
<ul>
  <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($homeNodeId)/node">
    <li><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" /></a></li>
  </xsl:for-each>
</ul>
```
In above snippet, homeNodeId is a parameter you'd pass from the macro (that references the xslt file) onto the xslt. Alias for that parameter should be (for this example) homeNodeId.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

/Dirk

Try to start out with the built in "List subpages from a changeable source" xslt template.

Then look at this line:
```
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
```
Here you need to change the $source to the ID of your home node. You could do it by hardcoding the ID:
```
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1234)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
```
Or by getting the ID in the variable by page name in the variable (a bit further up in the file):
```
<xsl:variable name="source" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root/descendant::node [@nodeName = 'Home'][1]/@id"/>
```
Try it out :-)
