Doesn't mediaCurrent already return a media item? rather than it's ID?

Matt

try this macro call:

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow/*/@id"/>

This is what I've done recently or

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow/Image/@id"/>

Thanks

Tom

Matt,

Then

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

Should give me something as xml structure which it doesnt.  I thought it might me because its in rich text editor but i get same result in template.

@Tom - Surely in Ismails context this is a waist? If /macro/folderToShow is already a media node (which I belive is what mediaCurrent returns), you are pulling back the id only to do another GetMedia. He should just be able to do:

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:value-of select="$folderToShow/umbracoFile"/>
<xsl:template> 

Matt

Tom,

Tried that no joy.  I do recall seeing this before it just would not pass the param through.

Matt,

Its a folder that I am picking and want to list the children.

@Ismail - Checkout this page

http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/macro-parameters-syntax

Its says

mediaCurrent - the xml of the selected media item

Matt

Does this not work to list all images?

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:for-each select="$folderToShow/*[name() = 'Image']">
    ... 


  </xsl:for-each>
<xsl:template> 

Matt

Matt,

Nope get nothing it seems as though the value is not being passed through /macro/folderToShow

Ok, I just set it up in my test 4.5.1 instance. Given the following XSLT

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  
  <textarea>
    <xsl:copy-of select="$folderToShow" />
  </textarea>

</xsl:template>

I get the following output when folderToShow is pointed to a folder full of images

<folderToShow>
  <Folder id="1090" version="e6100ed1-4649-410a-9f5e-20a4a07293ee" parentID="1076" level="2" writerID="0" nodeType="1031" template="0" sortOrder="3" createDate="2010-07-29T19:29:26" updateDate="2010-07-29T19:29:27" nodeName="Cats" urlName="cats" writerName="Administrator" nodeTypeAlias="Folder" path="-1,1076,1090">
    <contents />
  </Folder>
</folderToShow>

Which suggests that it doesn't pull back  the contents, rather just the xml for the selected node, which means Tom is right, either of the following should work.

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow/Folder/@id"/>

or

<xsl:variable name="folderToShow" select="/macro/folderToShow/*/@id"/>

Matt

Matt,

This is now working totally bloody bizarre.

You live an learn =)

I have been struggling with the same problem this morning, and appearently the folder, or better said Folder is case sensitive.

Instead of

<xsl:param name="mediaFolderID" select=/macro/mediaFolder/folder/@id />

This did the trick

<xsl:param name="mediaFolderID" select="/macro/mediaFolder/Folder/@id" />

Just as

<xsl:param name="mediaFolderID" select=/macro/mediaFolder/*/@id />

With the latter I eventually found out that Folder was case sensitive and spelled with a capital F

is working on a reply...
