Hi Pinal

what do you get returned if you make a xsl:copy-of on your $member1 variable?

like...

<textarea>

<xsl:copy-of select="$member1" />

</textarea>

/Jan

First of all, Thanks Jan for the reply.

 I am getting following error while saving following code:

  <xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="string('articleAuthor')"/>

  <xsl:variable name="memberno" select="$currentPage/* [name() = $propertyAlias]"/>

  <xsl:variable name="member1" select="umbraco.library:GetMember($memberno)" />

But after i mark the "Skip testing (ignore errors)" checkbox. I can save it and i get following output:

<node id="1124" version="19bef398-11a1-45ce-b95a-b774c082bf39" parentID="-1" level="1" writerID="0" nodeType="1123" template="0" sortOrder="60" createDate="2010-11-21T07:41:46" updateDate="2010-11-21T07:41:46" nodeName="Pinal Bhatt (Author)" urlName="pinalbhatt(author)" writerName="Administrator" nodeTypeAlias="ContentWriter" path="-1,1124" loginName="pinalbhattauthor" email="[email protected]"><authorsName>Pinal Bhatt</authorsName><authorsEmail>[email protected]</authorsEmail><authorsWebsiteUrl>http:/www.P-Bhatt.com</authorsWebsiteUrl><authorsPicUrl /></node>

Which is very much valid and expected output. Now how can i get individual piece of data from this?

Thanks & Regards

Nops.. sorry but thats not working: ( you can have a look at http://pbdesk.com/tech-news-articles/articles/umbraco/test-article.aspx )

Following is the xslt code:

  <xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="string('articleAuthor')"/>

  <xsl:variable name="memberno" select="$currentPage/* [name() = $propertyAlias]"/>

  <xsl:variable name="member1" select="umbraco.library:GetMember($memberno)" />

<xsl:template match="/">

   <div class="test">

   <textarea>

       <xsl:copy-of select="$member1" />

   </textarea>   

     Name: <xsl:value-of select="$member1/authorsName" /><br />

   E-mail: <xsl:value-of select="$member1/authorsEmail" />

    </div>

</xsl:template>

Putting // works. 

Name: <xsl:value-of select="$member1//authorsName" /><br />

E-mail: <xsl:value-of select="$member1//authorsEmail" />

All of these works:

    Name: <xsl:value-of select="$member1//authorsName" /><br />

  E-mail: <xsl:value-of select="$member1/node/authorsEmail" /><br/>

         Login Name: <xsl:value-of select="$member1/node/@loginName" />

      Login Name: <xsl:value-of select="$member1//@loginName" />

Excellent, helped me out too!

Why do you need the double slash?
Anyone knows?

is working on a reply...
