This isnt how i remember it, but the code below seems to work for me in another site

<xsl:variable name="videoName" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(/macro/videopath, 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']" />

If this doesnt work, use

<xsl:copy-of select="/macro/videopath" />

and see what come out, then adjust the xpath to suit

'mediaCurrent' is just like a Media Picker on a document type. I mention this so you can search for forum for more info on the GetMedia() function if you're interested. That will explain the other information that is appended to the end.

But without forcing you to read more if you're not overly interested in 'why'... the solution is the following:

<xsl:value-of select="/macro/videopath/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />

cheers,

You are outputting all cpntent of the videopath node - thats why you get too much text.

Instead you need to select the specific field of interest.

E.g. like this:

<xsl:variable name="MediaNodeId" select="/macro/MediaNode/node/@id"/>

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($MediaNodeId, 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>

Hi all!

Thank for your suggestions - none of them are however working though (or i'm not inserting them right!)

Douglas: You code-snippet i have tried, and i have iterated through the forum without finding anything i could use.

My xlst looks like this, if this is of any help:

<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- start writing XSLT -->

<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("MISSING CODE HERE", "flashcontent", "<xsl:value-of select="/macro/videowidth" />", "<xsl:value-of select="/macro/videoheight" />", "8", "#FFFFFF");
   so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
   so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

</xsl:template>

i have written "MISSING CODE HERE" where i need to insert the parameter.

Hope that someone would like to help out a xslt-newbie :)

best regards,
Brian

This may or may not be related to your problem - but the embed code there is for swfobject 1.5, so if you're using swfobject 2.2 it won't work.

Other than that, do

<xsl:copy-of select="/macro/videopath" />

And post what comes out.  I'm almost certain that the solution is in at least one of the above posts!

Hi Dan

I know it is for swfobject 1.5. That is because of the different way the two are implemented. In 2.2 the code is all in the head, while in 1.5 it's all in the body - i think, for this particular thing, where the end-user have to insert in the richtext editor - that the 1.5 is the easiest one as i can insert all at once. Maybe i'm wrong, but I know this one works when hardcoded.

The code outputs the following in the html:

<videopath>
<node id="1817" version="11d0e8e6-989a-4b06-8fbd-eb3eaf79b9d5" parentID="1814" level="2" writerID="2" nodeType="1033" template="0" sortOrder="1" createDate="2009-09-04T12:43:31" updateDate="2009-09-04T12:43:31" nodeName="FLVPlayer" urlName="flvplayer" writerName="Dorthe" nodeTypeAlias="File" path="-1,1814,1817">
<data alias="umbracoFile">/media/25565/flvplayer_progressive.swf</data>
<data alias="umbracoExtension">swf</data>
<data alias="umbracoBytes">9038</data>
</node>
</videopath>

So, I know it is the bold part i need to get my hands on. But just can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas

Hi Dirk!

Me think you are right - that is so great! You just saved my until now very bad Umbraco day :)

Thanks to all for your help!
