Update:  I have managed to write (or copy from some other kind blog post) an XSLT macro that the user can insert in a page and it lists all the documents in that folder.

Now I need to paginate it or something as the page is very long!

Hey

Thanks Matt, I wonder if you could offer any more assistance?  I am having problems using this for a media node.  Here is my code.  Can you advise on what I am supposed to put in place of umbraco.library:niceURL? Currently my page is only showing the first 15 items and no next or previous page.

{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/@id)}/{$pageNumber - 1}">previous</a>

Hey,

I've not checked it fully yet, but the first thing I've spotted is the numberOfRecords variable. It's currently checking for nodes under current page, rather than in your actual media folder, so I think it will want changing to:

<xsl:variable name="numberOfRecords" select="count($documents/*)"/>

Give that a try, and see if it helps.

Matt

Thanks Matt, it certainly does.  I just need to work out how to fix the rest now!

Okay.  I admit it, I know nothing about this!  Please help?

I can list the first 15 results.  I get a next at the bottom of the page but when I click on it I get page does not exisit error.
