Hi floffy,

I once did something alike using the paramater mediaCurrent in my macro. My Xslt looks like this where i checked all the subfolders for any new item.

    <xsl:variable name="mediaFolder" select="/macro/pressFiles"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- start writing XSLT -->
  
 <xsl:if test="$mediaFolder">
    <xsl:variable name="mediaItems" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaFolder/*/@id, true())/Folder"/> // looks in all sub folders for new items 
    <xsl:for-each select="$mediaItems/File">// loop and display items with MediaType File
      <xsl:sort select="@createDate" order="descending" />
                   <li>            <a href="{umbracoFile}" target='_blank'><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>&nbsp; -    
                <small><xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(@createDate, 'dddd dd  MMMM yyy | hh:mm tt')" /></small>
              </li>
</xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>

Hope it helps

Thanks to Fuji

here is the result:

  <xsl:param name="folder" select="/macro/lbkMediaFolderId"/>
    
    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:if test="$folder">
        <ul>
        <xsl:variable name="mediaItems" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($folder/*/@id, true())/Folder"/
 
        <xsl:for-each select="$mediaItems/File">
          <xsl:sort select="@createDate" order="descending" />
          <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= 5" >
            <li>
              <a href="{./umbracoFile}" title="&#197;ben {./umbracoExtension} dokument" target='_blank'>
                <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
              </a>
            </li>
          </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </ul>
     </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

Hi Floffy,

You're actually off to a great start - so let's just continue from what you have already ('coz you've organised it neatly with templates... pluspoints given :-)

To get all levels just require a couple of simple changes - keep the $folder variable pointing to the "root" Folder so you're not confusing things (remove the /*), and then make sure to apply templates to descendants of that folder (if you know they're only of the File type - use that instead):

<xsl:variable name="folder" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($folderid, 1)"/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="$folder//*[@nodeTypeAlias][not(self::Folder)]">
<!-- Or maybe only Files: ? -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="$folder//File" />

- to limit them to only the 5 newest, you'll need to sort and then test the position() - you're using @nodeName to sort - will that work? Can you be sure the naming will always sort correctly? Otherwise you should use the @createDate or @updateDate attributes. If you need to use position() within the item templates, you can keep the apply-templates structure (A), otherwise it probably reads a little better with a for-each (B) in this case... so:

<!-- (A) -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="$folder//*[@nodeTypeAlias][not(self::Folder)]">
    <xsl:sort select="@createDate" data-type="text" order="descending" />
</xsl:apply-templates>

<xsl:template match="File">
    <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= 5">
        <!-- ... -->      
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<!-- (B) -->
<xsl:for-each select="$folder//*[@nodeTypeAlias][not(self::Folder)]">
    <xsl:sort select="@createDate" data-type="text" order="descending" />
    <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= 5">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." />
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:template match="File">
    <!-- ... -->
</xsl:template>
