    Images from media into xslt

    Hi all,

    I am trying to pull back images in a xsl loop from the media folder. My issue is that Umbraco generates random folder names.

    How do I write the value of the image into my xsl document?

    Heres what I have on page at the moment:

    <img src="/media/{data [@alias = 'hostelImage']}.jpg" alt="" title="" />

    This obviously pulls back:

     <img src="/media/1277.jpg" alt="" title="" />

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks

    Rog

    Have a look at this ->  http://blog.leekelleher.com/2009/11/30/how-to-use-umbraco-library-getmedia-in-xslt/ but for a simple example see below

    <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia(./data[@alias='hostelimage'], false())/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" />

    Cool, but be aware that the code above will throw an error if for any reason the image is not picked.  Best bet is something like

    <xsl:if test="string(./data[@alias='hostelimage']) != ''">
    <img     src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia(./data[@alias='hostelimage'], false())/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" />
    </xsl:if>

    Dan

     

    p.s. If I had a penny for every time I wrote

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

    I'd be on an island sipping pina coladas by now ^^
