    Media URLs from a Multiple Media Picker list

    Hello Umbraco Colleagues,

    We have the TreeMultiPicker package installed and used it in a docType to create a list of files (PDFs actually).

    Now we need to create a list of links to those PDFs using XSLT - but I can't get it to work.

    <xsl:variable name="docs" select="$currentPage/data[@alias='documentList']"/>
    <xsl:variable name="splitDocs" select="umbraco.library:Split($docs, ',')" />
    <ul>  
    <xsl:for-each select="$splitDocs/value">
    <xsl:variable name="currentNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)"/>
    <li>
    <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentNode/@id, 0)/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="$currentNode/@nodeName"/>
    </a>
    </li>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

    The name of the property containing the list of files is "documentList"

    I'm not getting either the umbracoFile nor the nodeName of each file in the list.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi David,

    Try the below snippet (Note the umbraco.library:GetMedia call instead of umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById). I have also added a few more conditional checks.

    Cheers,
    Neil

    <xsl:variable name="docs" select="$currentPage/data[@alias='documentList']"/>
    <xsl:if test="$docs != ''">
       <xsl:variable name="splitDocs" select="umbraco.library:Split($docs, ',')" />
       <ul>
          <xsl:for-each select="$splitDocs/value">
             <xsl:if test=". != ''">
                <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(.,0)"/>
                <xsl:if test="$mediaNode != ''">
                   <li>
                      <a href="{$mediaNode/data [@alias='umbracoFile']}">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$mediaNode/@nodeName"/>
                      </a>
                  </li>
               </xsl:if>
            </xsl:if>
          </xsl:for-each>
       </ul>
    </xsl:if>

    Hi Neil,

    Thanks for the code - you rock!

    It worked flawlessly without modification. I just pasted your code and it does exactly what I need.

    I really like how you're testing as you go to make sure there's data.

    Thanks so much!

    David

    No worries David. Glad I could help!
    Yep I always check for data :) I free coded it in notepad, so good to know it runs without mods (for anyone else who stumbles across this post).

    Cheers,
    Neil
