    NiceUrl problem from Content Picker ID

    XSLT

    hi guys,

    a problem i have surely has a quick fix, but i cannot seem to get the right syntax, i have:

    <xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($currentId)" />
    <xsl:variable name="currentLink" select="$currentNode/sliderPageLink" />

    <xsl:value-of select="$currentLink" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

    so far so good and the ID is displayed of the node selected by the content picker

    Then trying to get the nice url of the id is where the problem is, i have tried

    <xsl:variable name="linkData" select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentLink)/data" />

    and various others but always get a parsing error on the xslt file

    any advice would be appreciated

    thanks.

    Hey Warren,

    If $currentLink gives you the right ID then you just need to put that into NiceUrl():

    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentLink)}">Click Me!</a>

    hi chriztian,

    yes i tried that also and get the parse error from the below:

    <xsl:element name="div">
      <xsl:attribute name="class">carousel-caption</xsl:attribute>
      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentLink)}">
      <p><xsl:value-of select="$currentText" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></p></a>  
     </xsl:element>

    any ideas ?

    Hi Warren,

    There could be several reasons for that - most likely you're doing this inside a loop, and one of the nodes processed hasn't got a valid $sliderPageLink.

    Try making it conditional:

    <xsl:if test="normalize-space($currentLink)">
   <div class="carousel-caption">
      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentLink)}">
         <p>...</p>
      </a>
   </div> 
</xsl:if>
