Help with XSLT - Member

Hi,

I’m working with the Doc2form and it’s great. But now I’ve reached an obstacle and I really need a pair of fresh eyes.

I’ve made a Forum and only members can read and write.

I have a form (with Doc2form) with two textboxes (Title and Message) and when I press the Submit button the message becomes visible on my page.

The member ID is stored in “AuthorID” and I need to get the member username.

I have tried with:

<xsl:variable name="memberID" select="data[@alias=’AuthorID’]" />

<xsl:variable name="member" select="umbraco.library:GetMember($memberID)" />

Posted by: <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMemberName($memberID)"/>

But it doesn’t work – It says: “Value was either too large or too small for an Int32”

Can anyone help? - Would really appreciate it.

Before calling the extension method, have a look at what the memberID variable value is.... I would guess it's 0 or -1

My current memberID is 1296, but I don't know how to get the memberName from that ID

try removing your second 2 lines and insert the following

<xsl:variable name="memberID" select="data[@alias='AuthorID']" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat('--',$memberID,'--')"/>

does it output --1296-- without any spaces?

If so it'd remove your call to umbraco.library:GetMemberName() and use xpath on the value returned by GetMember().

You can see the xml return by using

<textarea>
<xsl:copy-of  select="umbraco.library:GetMember($memberID)" />
</textarea>

That didn't work either :/

If I only write: <xsl:value-of select="data [@alias = 'authorID']"/> it returns the ID of the member on my site:

posted by 1296

posted by 1361 and so on....

How do I get the name of the member instead?

I got it:

<xsl:variable name="memberID" select="data[@alias='authorID']" />
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMemberName($memberID)"/>
