Select topnavigation level depending on branch
I wanted to use the same topnavigation macro to show different level nodes depending on which branch the user is on. More specifically : if the user is on a page under node @id 1070 he/she should see topnavigation from level 2, otherwise from level 1.

I came up with the following xslt which works, but I wonder if it could be done in a better way?
```
<xsl:variable name="level">
<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="count($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@id = 1070])=1">
2
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
1
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
```

Hi Jonas,

Looks fine for me, the only thing I would not do is put IDs of a page hardcoded inside XSLT.

I think it would be better to add another variable, which can be set through a macro property.
```
<xsl:variable name="memberNode" select"/macro/memberNode"/>
```
```
...
```
```
<xsl:when text="count($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@id = number($memberNode)])=1">
```
But basically, I think your solution should work just fine.

I think it's even possible to remove the count() function and only have:
```
<xsl:when test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@id = 1070]">
```
(altho have no stats to backup that this solution would be faster)

Second Len's solution, you should not hard code the id

Cheers,
