vince,

use

<xls:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(./data [@alias = 'quickLinksContent'])" />

and surround this with an

<xsl:if test="string(./data [@alias = 'quickLinksContent']) != ''>

to check whether info is available from that property. If you don't, you'l get an error when saving the xslt as that property value is not available until runtime.

Key is to use the NiceUrl() xslt extension method which takes the id of the node for which to build the link

If you need the name of the page, use

<xls:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(./data [@alias = 'quickLinksContent'])/@nodeName" />

Hope this helps.

Regards,

/Dirk

Cheers Dirk thats brilliant, just the job! One final question is it possible to have some sort of recursive feature in xslt, i know in templates i've used recursive="true" so that umbraco will look at the parent for existing data, but how can you do this in xslt? Basically i have used the repeatable custom content to create a load of quick links at the bottom of a page and i want these to exist on every page not just the homepage!

Hi unforutanely neither of those two solutions seems to work? I've attached my code, so maybe you could have a quick look? As you can see i've tried to apply the "ancestor-or-self::node" to the repeatble content variable, however the repeated content is only appearing on the hompage still, not any of the others. Maybe i'm missing something very obvious, but i can't see it yet!

 
  <!-- Input the repeatable custom contents property alias here -->
  <xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="string('quickLinks')"/>
 
  <xsl:template match="/">

    <!-- The fun starts here -->
    <xsl:if test="$currentPage/data [@alias = $propertyAlias]/items/item">

      <ul class="quickLink1">
        <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/data[@alias= $propertyAlias]/items/item">
            <li><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(./data [@alias = 'quickLinksContent1'])}"><xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(./data [@alias = 'quickLinksContent1'])/@nodeName" /></a></li>

Solved it, i really did miss something very obvious!!
