Hi guys,

I am trying to reference a true false datatype called 'pickOfTheWeek' in xslt and then display referenced info (see code below).  Unfortunately I cannot seem to get this to work.

Here is the snippet code I am trying to select pickOfTheWeek:

<xsl:if test="string(./pickOfTheWeek) = '1'">

and here is the full code:

<?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"

  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">

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

 

  <xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

 

  <xsl:template match="featuredImage">

<img src="{.}"  />

</xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/">

  <xsl:variable name="excerptLength">

    <xsl:choose>

      <xsl:when test="string(/macro/excerptLength) != ''">

        <xsl:value-of select="/macro/excerptLength"/>

      </xsl:when>

      <xsl:otherwise>500</xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

  </xsl:variable>

 <xsl:variable name="numberOfItems">

    <xsl:choose>

      <xsl:when test="/macro/numberOfItems != ''">

        <xsl:value-of select="/macro/numberOfItems"/>

      </xsl:when>

      <xsl:otherwise>2</xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

  </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:variable name="recordsPerPage" select="1"/>

    <xsl:variable name="pageNumber">

      <xsl:choose>

        <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page') &lt;= 1 or string(umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page')) = '' or string(umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page')) = 'NaN'">1</xsl:when>

        <xsl:otherwise>

          <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page')"/>

        </xsl:otherwise>

      </xsl:choose>

    </xsl:variable>

 <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/TheDscTeam/* [@isDoc and (umbracoNavihide)= '1']">

  <xsl:sort select="@createDate" order="descending" />

 <xsl:if test="string(./pickOfTheWeek) = '1'">

<div class="column">

<div class="colcontainer">

<figure><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor-or-self::*[normalize-space(featuredImage)][1]/featuredImage" /></a></figure>

<h4><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></h4>

</div><!--colcontainer-->

<p>

  <xsl:choose>

                <xsl:when test="string($excerptLength) != '0'">

                  <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:TruncateString(umbraco.library:StripHtml(mainContent), number($excerptLength), '...')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

                </xsl:when>

                <xsl:otherwise>

                  <xsl:value-of select="mainContent" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

                </xsl:otherwise>

              </xsl:choose>

  </p>

<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}" class="readfull">Read Full Article</a>

</div><!--column-->

</xsl:if>

      </xsl:for-each>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

 

I know XSLT is frowned on these days but alas it is all I am familiar with at present.
