    List of a specific doctype from anywhere in site

    Hi,

    I need to get a list of 'Promo Boxes'  from where ever I am on the site.

    More specifically,  from any page I need to iterate through any docType "promoBox" which sits under the docType 'promoBoxesRight'

    Here's the structure:

    Home
    -About Us
    -Contact Us
    -Promo Boxes
        - Promo Boxes Right
            - Promo Box 1
            - Promo Box 2
        - Promo Boxes Center
            - Promo Box 3
            - Promo Box 4

    Pseudo code would read something like:

        //Home/nodeTypeAlias ="PromoBoxRight"/nodeTypeAlias ="promoBox"

    The 'Promo Boxes' docType has 'UmbracoNaviHide' set to true.

    Many thanks,

    Rich

    Try

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node{@level=1]//node[@nodeTypeAlias='promoBoxRight']//node[@alias='promoBox']">
        // whatever
    </xsl:for-each>

    The syntax // means all child nodes. 'ancestor-or-self' allows you to search up the node structure.

    The above syntax ignores 'UmbracoNaviHide', so you'll need to add it in if you need it.

    Check out the subpages of http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt for more tips and examples.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Thanks Chris, that worked a treat.

    The only weird thing is that nothing would work until I deleted and recreated my document types.

    Thanks again.
