As illustrated, The Template is a folder, then V1 is a sub-folder, Site 1 and Site 2 are under V1.
The Ultimate Picker is a property of Site 1 and is able to get the list of 'Container' children as checkboxes. I am also using a Macro with a parameter from alias [#ultimatepicker] to get the nodeIDs of Item 1 and Item 2. However for some reasons, the macro parameter is unable to get actual IDs of Item 1 and Item 2.
I am wondering if the [#] or [$] works like its going through the node from root of 1st level (Template A) rather the Current one (Site 1, Site 2).
I am not using XSLT on this solution. All is umbraco itself and .Net. In the Ultimate Picker (Berto) I set the 'Parent Filter' as the alias of the 'Container'. The macro is actually a user control. The macro itself is <umbraco:Macro Widgets="[#ultimatePicker]" Alias="SidebarWidgets" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
There is bit of code of user control

Ultimate Picker and macro parameters
Hi there,
I am using a Ultimate Picker (Berto) to get a list of one node's children. It is a multisite installation. The nodes structure is showing below:
- Content
- - Template A
- - - V1
- - - - Site 1
- - - - - Container
- - - - - - Item 1
- - - - - - Item 2
- - - - Site 2
As illustrated, The Template is a folder, then V1 is a sub-folder, Site 1 and Site 2 are under V1.
The Ultimate Picker is a property of Site 1 and is able to get the list of 'Container' children as checkboxes. I am also using a Macro with a parameter from alias [#ultimatepicker] to get the nodeIDs of Item 1 and Item 2. However for some reasons, the macro parameter is unable to get actual IDs of Item 1 and Item 2.
I am wondering if the [#] or [$] works like its going through the node from root of 1st level (Template A) rather the Current one (Site 1, Site 2).
Hope I am expressing myself well.
Thanks
Jamie
Hi Jamie,
Are you using XSLT for this? Could you post the code so we can see?
Tom
Thanks for the very quick reply Tom.

}
/// <summary>

protected void WidgetRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Node widgetNode = (Node)e.Item.DataItem;
PlaceHolder contentPlaceHolder = (PlaceHolder)e.Item.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder");
Item item = new Item();
item.NodeId = widgetNode.Id.ToString();
item.Field = "content";
contentPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(item);
}
}
}
}
is working on a reply...
