    problem with xslt

    Hi,

    I have a website running in Umbraco 4.7, I'm using the Business Starter Kit and the uMedia skin. The Business Starter Kit has a u.mediaSliders document type which stores banners for a slider.

    I have implemented the same functionality for a Portfolio Slider. This Portfolio Slider shows banners for project which I have done or participated in. This is my document tree:

    But the problem is that my Portfolio Slider isn't showing on my Portfolio page. It must be a problem with the xslt-code. This is the line that accesses the Portfolio Sliders node:

    <xsl:variable name="sliderNode" select="$currentPage/parent::*/child::*[@level=1]/portfolioSliders"/>

    But this doesn't work. The thing is that I don't know how I can access a node that is on the same level in the hierarchy as the current node.

    Does anybody know how I can access the Portfolio Sliders node from my Portfolio page?

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony

    Hi Anthony,

    try this:

    $currentPage/parent::*[@isDoc]/*[@isDoc and name() = 'Portfolio Sliders']

    From the current page ('Portfolio') you go up one page (parent::*[isDoc], isDoc makes sure that you get only real nodes and not property/data fields), and then select the node named 'Portfolio Sliders' (*[@isDoc and name() = 'Portfolio Sliders']). Since the name might change pretty quickly it's safer to use the doc type on that (and if you have only one of these on that level):

    $currentPage/parent::*[@isDoc]/{name-of-your-'Portfolio Sliders'-doc-type}

    Hope that helps,

    Sascha

    Hi Sasha,

    Thanks for your help, I tried your code, but it doesn't work.

    If I try this code:

    <xsl:variable name="sliderNode" select="$currentPage/parent::*/child::*[@level=2]"/>

    It does work.

    The only thing that I noticed, is that when I add a new portfolioSlider node, I have to republish the document tree before it is rendered in the webbrowser.

    greetings,
