Looks like your schema is now 4.5 which is new schema but your xslts are still old schema. You have 2 options either keep old schema and update web.config to use old schema or upgrade your existing xslts using the excellent http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/xsltupdater-for-umbraco i used it just today to upgrade cog navigation xslt

Also does the schema change in 4.5 make any changes to the database that I should know about?

OK I'll try and convert the above lines for you, maybe a bit tricky without knowing what the XSLT is doing exactly but here goes.

<xsl:with-param name="item" select="$item/* [contains($searchFields, concat(',',@alias,','))]"/>

<xsl:variable name="remaining" select="$item/following-sibling::* [contains($searchFields, concat(',',@alias,','))]"/>

 

The other lines look specific to some XSLT Extension library and refer to other XML structure it seems.
Anywhere data or node is used it needs to be updated in the xPath, either with the specific doctype alias or the alias of a property of a doctype or alternatively * to look for all XML nodes.

Hopefully this will help you and get your site back in shape.

But if upgrading to 4.5.X schema is causing you problems I recommend you stick to the legacy schema config option.

Reading Chriztian's post it seems he has a better grasp of what you were after, so I recommend his solution over mine.

Warren :)

Thanks Chriztian and Warren for both of your very useful input :)

Iv made the changes suggested by Chriztian but the same error in the latest sreenshot still persists.

Chriztian mentioned that the last line given in the error wasnt complete so here is the complete block:

 

$yetPossibleNodes[attribute::*[(contains($searchFields,name())
                                              and contains(ps:uppercase(umbraco.library:StripHtml(string(.))), $searchTerm)) ]]
                                              |
                                              $yetPossibleNodes[*[contains($searchFields, concat(',' , name(), ','))
                                              and contains(ps:uppercase(umbraco.library:StripHtml(string(.))), $searchTerm)) ]]

 

Other than that the xslt seems to have been all properly converted... any other reasons why the nav might not be generating? do you need any more code from me?

- im very new to umbraco, xslt, xml, aspx........ :)

Iv just found another xslt file that looks like it's key in generating the menu. can you check the contents to make sure it should work with the new schema?:

For anybody elses reference, here is an update:

We decided to go for a pre xslt schema change release as 4.5.2 was breaking some other things of the website. We recently however upgraded to 4.7 and so I had to convert all the XSLT. I had since taken the level 1 developer course so I was much better prepard :P Here is the output of our slightly modified navigation menu compatible with the new xslt schema so for anybody else with similar problems to the script above this post, refer to the below script for corresponding changes:
