Hi Anthony

You are right about the part where you thought that the content written inside of the ContentPlaceHolder is rendered if no other content is inserted, but in your case there's always some content inside the asp:Content, since the macro is inserted. So you need to insert the default image inside of the macro instead of putting it in the ContentPlaceHolder.

Could you show us the content from the macro and we'll find a solution to this?

Oh I didn't think of it that way.

This is the code of my getbannerimage.xslt file:

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/banner != ''">
  <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner, false() )/umbracoFile}" alt="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/banner, false() )/alternativeText}" />
</xsl:if>
      
</xsl:template>

Thanks for helping me out .... again :)

Hi Anthony

you need to use the ancestor-of-self axe.

Like this: $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*/banner

This way the value from the ancestor is used if no value is entered in the field on the current page.

If the nearest ancestor does not have any value it goes one step higher to see if there is a value. Untill it reaches the level 1 node.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Kim,

Proble solved ... again :)

I first tried to use to <xsl:if> statements, one that test if $currentPage/banner has a value, an one that tests if $currentPage/banner doesn't have a value, but your solution using the <xsl:choose> statement is better.

Thanks a lot,

Anthony

Great to hear that Anthony. You could use two if-statements as well, but in that situation I'd also go for the choose-statement instead :)

@Jan: That's a very elegant solution indeed, I implemented it and it works!

Thanks a lot,

Anthony

@Jan,

Hi Jan, I just discovered this. I implemented your suggestion like this:

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*/banner != ''">
            <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*/banner, false() )/umbracoFile}" alt="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*/banner, false() )/alternativeText}" />
        </xsl:if>

But now my child page is always showing the banner image of the parent page, even if a banner images was set for the child page.

Have I not implemented your suggestion the right way?

Thanks for your advice,

Anthony

Anthony, could you try changing the code to this:

<xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[1]/banner != ''">
    <img src="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[1]/banner, false() )/umbracoFile}" alt="{umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[1]/banner, false() )/alternativeText}" />
</xsl:if>

Hi,

I tested the code, but it is not working. Page for which no banner image is set are not showing the banner image of their parent.

I have a version of the website on my staging server:
