It's probably not best to re-assign currentPage variable as may cause problems at a later date for readability etc...

The code below will display nodes where the nodeType is of yourDocTypeAlias

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = 'yourDocTypeAlias']">
   <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
   </a>
</xsl:for-each>

The code below will display nodes where the nodeType is NOT of yourDocTypeAlias

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias != 'yourDocTypeAlias']">
   <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
   </a>
</xsl:for-each>

I hope I understood your question correctly.
Warren :)

Following code will list all documents of a type

<
xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
 
<!-- document type alias e.g. NewsDetail  -->
 
<
<
xsl:variable name="documentTypeAlias" select="string('NewsDetail')"/>
 
<!-- start from root/home  -->
 
<
<
xsl:variable name="rootPage" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@level = 1]"/>
 
<
xsl:template match="/">
 
<
xsl:for-each select="$rootPage/descendant::node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias]">
   <!--
 list each document -->
</
xsl:for-each>
 
</
xsl:template>

I forgot to mention that this code will display child nodes of the currentPage/node you are on.

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
 
<!--
 start from root -->
<
xsl:variable name="rootPage" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@level = 1]"/>
 
<!-- start from current page -->
<!--
 
<xsl:variable name="rootPage" select="$currentPage/*"/>
-->
 
<!--
 document type alias e.g. NewsDetail -->
<
xsl:variable name="documentTypeAlias" select="string('NewsDetail')"/>
 
<
xsl:template match="/">
<
ul>
    <
xsl:for-each select="$rootPage/descendant::node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias]">
  <
li>
        <
a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
         <
xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
        </
a>
   </
li>
   </
xsl:for-each>
</
ul>
</
xsl:template>

What you want to do is easily done. Simply create a new xslt macro (right-click on the XSLT Files item in the developer section of umbraco). Give the xslt a name and select one of the pre-defined templates. In your case, you'd probably want pages from a 'changable source' or 'by docType'. The various built-in templates are a great start to most situations.

Thanks very much to all you guys. All your solution helped, I just have one more question, how can I replace

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">

which only display sub pages of a parent node with select="$variable that can display all document with [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias

Once again.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi jefferycxl,

Following snippet should do:

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($variable)/node [@nodeTypeAlias = $documentTypeAlias and string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">

All you do is get the xml fragment from parent node (GetXmlNodeById(parentId) and iterate its children.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

/Dirk

Sorry guys,  Masood Afzal, I misunderstand your code, I used your code $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root//node and it worked beautifully.

Please ignore my previous question.

Thanks
