    URL from Content Picker

    Sorry for this noob question ...

    I am trying to create an xslt macro (GetURLfromContentPicker) that takes the alias of a content picker as a parameter, and returns the URL of that node. My template has:

    <umbraco:Macro ContentPickerAlias="myContentPicker1" Alias="GetURLfromContentPicker" runat="server">

    I have confirmed that my parameter gets passed correctly by outputting:

    <xsl:value-of select="$contentPickerAlias"/>

    So now I want to make the magic happen: Get the node id that this alias contains, and return the URL for that node. I understand that library.niceUrl() is the way to go, but I can't seem to get it right.

    Anyone? :-|

    I tried to do:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(./data [@alias=$contentPickerAlias])" />

    but it returns a parsing error

    Are you using Umbraco 4.5 or higher? In that case try this:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl(./name()=$contentPickerAlias)" />

    You could also do this in an Umbraco item without using xslt:

    <a href='<umbraco:Item field="disclaimerLink" runat="server" xslt="umbraco.library:NiceUrl({0})"></umbraco:Item>'>Disclaimer</a>

    presume you are doing something like...

    <xsl:variable name="contentPickerAlias" select="/macro/ContentPickerAlias"/>

    and that contentPickerAlias returns a nodeId.

    so all you should heve to do is..

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($contentPickerAlias)" />

    Jeroen: I could not get the xslt-example to work. But the error changed from parsing error to "error reading xslt".

    However the inline version worked like a charm!! Thank you so very much!

     

    Mike: Thanks for your tip also! My contentPickerAlias contains the alias of the contentpicker, not the value it is set to (the node id) so I would have to modify this.
