Hi Partha,

Which version of Umbraco are you using, and can you point out in your code where you want the the Menu Item field of the properties to be displayed instead of Name field.

I assume that you are talking about this line.

<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($pageID)}" title="{string(txtMenuItem)}">
      <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
</a>          

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi,

I am using Umbraco 4 and I want the Menu item text to always display in the left navigation menu. You will get a better idea if you visit http://www.surplus-used-equipment.com/ . I want http://www.surplus-used-equipment.com/air-cooled-chillers.aspx to be displayed as http://www.surplus-used-equipment.com/used-air-cooled-chillers.aspx. But the left menu should continue to display Air Cooled Chiller. So, I want the  Menu Item to be used to create the left navigation menu instead of the name.

regards,

Partha

Hi Partha,

Could you please give us the exact version number of Umbraco 4 that you are using, the reason for that is that the XML schema has changed from version 4.5 of Umbraco, and this have some influence on how you should right your XSLT code.

You can find the exact version number of Umbraco 4 that you are running by clicking the about button in the right corner of the Umbraco back office UI.

Hi,

It is 4.7.0

Thanks,

Hi Partha,

Seems that you have mixin the new and the old XML schema.

I have tried updaed your code to the new XML schema, and where the propertyAlias is you need to change so it match the propertyAlias of your Menu Item, I think the propertyAlias could be menuItem,if you haven't changed it manually

Hi,

Still not working, I replaced your XSLT with mine. Changed the name back to "Used Air-cooled Chillers" but the MenuItem to "Air-cooled Chillers". In the left menu of the side I have "Used Air-cooled Chillers"  appearing instead of "Air-cooled Chillers". Please see http://www.surplus-used-equipment.com

regards,

Partha

Works fine. Thanks Dennis!
