Is there any way to allow the selection of content available in an xml list, selected by XPath, to be chosen via a picker in the parent?
So my tree structure would be like:
HOME
+- FOLDER (doc prop: pickFolder < allows selection of a meta folder folder)
+-- PAGE (doc prop: selector <- list of item1-3 from the meta folder selected above)
+- META FOLDER
+-- ANOTHER FOLDER (this one is picked above)
+---- ITEM1
+---- ITEM2
+---- ITEM3
Hey John,
I think this is possible using xpath in a mntp, as long as you aren't expecting a multi-node tree picker to have multiple starting nodes.
So the mntp located within PAGE called selector would need an xpath similar to
$root/*[id=./pickFolder/text()]
Hope this helps

I was trying to think how you'd inflate the XML using some kind of library call, but that is so simple, can't wait to try it.
Hi John,
I just tried this (saw on twitter that you're using nuPickers) - I created this structure:
Then I created the pickFolder property as an XML Prefetch List with this XPath:
pickFolder
$ancestorOrSelf/ancestor::HOME_ALIAS/META_FOLDER_ALIAS/ANOTHER_FOLDER_ALIAS
I created the selector property, also as an XML Prefetch List, with this XPath:
selector
$ancestorOrSelf/ancestor::HOME_ALIAS//*[@id = $ancestorOrSelf/ancestor-or-self::FOLDER_ALIAS/pickFolder//@Key]/ITEM_ALIAS
(XPaths get a little muddy when you have to use the $ancestorOrSelf token first to be sure you have a published node to base the rest upon).
$ancestorOrSelf
Let me know if you need me to explain what's going on, or if I've misunderstood anything.
