I am new to XSLT programming and I am figuring out how this works.
I have a site created in Umbraco and implemented the ImageCropper data type. I have a page that shows subpages as thumbnails (from the default xslt starter templates) and would like to extend this.
I would like to check if there are crops available and if so, use this, else use default thumbnail of the image.
Also I would like to check on the crop item name ("Category Image Thumbnail" for example), because there could be more types later on.
Here is a snippet from the umbraco.conifg file which shows two nodes. one with and one without crops. The furst one should show the umbracoFile, the second the crop
xlst get available crops?
