Embedded content start help
Hi guys,

I need some help setting up Embedded Content, and pulling out the data.

I have installed the package, created the datatype "embedContent" and made a tab on my gallery page where I can add the items such as

Header(alias: embedHeader)
Description(alias: embedDescription)
Image Preview(alias: embedPreview)
Link(alias: embedLink)

and added a test item on the gallery-tab I made.

My Xslt validates..
```
<xsl:template match="/">
   <ul>
        <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/data/item">
          <li>
                <xsl:value-of select="embedHeader" />
               <xsl:value-of select="embedDescription" />
          </li>
       </xsl:for-each>
 </ul>
   
  
</xsl:template>
```
and here is the macro I added on in the Gallery template:
```
      <umbraco:Macro Alias="contentList" runat="server" />
```
What am I missing here? Parameters in the Macro?

Kind Regards, Djan

Hi Djan,

I think you are just missing the alias of your document type property that uses your embedded content data type.
```
<xsl:for-eachselect="$currentPage/propertyAlias/data/item">
```

Hi Jeavon, Thanks for answering!

I tried a number of different alias', but nomatter what, I get no output on my page ?

From DocumentType Generic Properties:

Tab: Embedded Content
Name: webPortfolio (alias: webPortfolio)
Type: Embed Content

##################################

My Macro:

 <umbraco:Macro Alias="WebPortfolio"runat="server"/>

And my current XSLT:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
        version="1.0" 
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
        xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
        xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon"xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes"xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath"xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions"xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings"xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets"xmlns:tagsLib="urn:tagsLib"xmlns:BlogLibrary="urn:BlogLibrary" 
        exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets tagsLib BlogLibrary ">


<xsl:outputmethod="xml"omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:paramname="webPortfolio"select="/macro/Field"/>
<xsl:paramname="currentPage"/>

<xsl:templatematch="/">
        <ul>
                        <xsl:for-eachselect="$currentPage/webPortfolio/data/item">
                        <li>
                                <xsl:value-ofselect="embedHeader"/>
                                <xsl:value-ofselect="embedDescription"/>
                        </li>
                </xsl:for-each>
        </ul>
        
        
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and my Tab with added Testcontent :
http://oi46.tinypic.com/10fw4yo.jpg

And yet, still no Output at : http://djan.se/webportfolio.aspx

Have I got the Alias wrong, or what am I doing..? =)
