Hi Ewan, can you post the contents of your XSLT? Also, are your nodes directly under the 'Content' (aka root) node? 

Thanks,
Nik

Hi Nik,

I'll post the contents this evening (I'm at work and am working on it at home)

Yes, the nodes are directly under Content.

thanks

Ewan

Hi Ewan

Have you tried using the pre-made XSLT file for navigation, which can be selected in the dropdown when you create a new XSLT file in Umbraco? Maybe this can help you out too.

Hi Jan,

yep, I'm pretty sure I did that. I think that's what the video instructed.

I'll set up Umbraco here in the office on my lunch break today and go through the process again.

thanks

Ewan

Hi Guys,

here is the contents of my xlst file;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
    version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" 
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" 
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets ">

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<!-- Input the documenttype you want here -->
<xsl:variable name="level" select="1"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- The fun starts here -->
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=$level]/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
        </a>
    </li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

thanks

Ewan

Hi Ewan

The reason why you don't get any pages in your output is probably that there are no nodes under the $currentPage node.

I really should have caught this issue when reading your post the first time. But if I understand correctly you have three pages directly under "content", which are at the same level, right?

So your current content structure looks something like this

Content
 - node
 - node
 - node

But for this navigation macro to work you need to have a structure like this

Content
 - Root node
   - Subnode
   - Subnode
   - Subnode

Then the three subnodes will occur in the navigation.

I hope this helps

/Jan

HI Jan, thanks very much for your help. I should have probably noted in my original post that it was likely something to do with my setup.

Excuse the newbie question, but how do I now create the Root node and move all my created nodes under this one?

thanks

Ewan

Hi Jan

that seems to have done it. Many thanks again.

Yes, I have the CWS package installed at work but not at home. I'm trying to simply learn the templating side at the moment from the ground up as most of what I do is front-end development :) 

cheers

Ewan

Glad it helped! :-)

Well, the CWS is a great package to learn the frontend-stuff from. There are many usefull XSLT snippets in there.
