    Related Link issue

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to display a related link on a page but from a macro due to multiple languages.

    The whole site works but I cant get anything to display for the link. do I need to wrap it in a HTML anchor?

    This is my link in the XSLT:

    <xsl:value-of select="data [@alias = concat ('aboutusLink',$flang)]"/>

    Thanks

    Roger

    Simple and perhaps obvious, but have you checked to make sure your concat is generating what you expect (correct field name)? 

    THanks,
    Nik

    Hi Roger,

    Output of a related links datatype is an xml snippet, so you don't see anything unless you look at the source of the page, then you'll notice a small xml snippet representing all related links. 

    <links><link title="a" link="b" type="c" newwindow="d"/></links>

    So, you'll need to iterate your links in order to display the data. 

    <xsl:for-each select="data [@alias = concat ('aboutusLink',$flang)]/links/link">
  <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
</xsl:for-each>

     

    Also, there's a template available from the template dropdown when creating a new xslt ('Related Links'), and that one should give you a start on how to show the related links on your site.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    /Dirk

    Hi Guys,

    I got it working with Dirks solution but I have to add $currentPage in order to get it to display.

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/data[@alias = concat('aboutusLink',$flang)]/links/link">

    Many thanks!

    Roger
