    mediaCurrent problem

    From being pretty new to umbraco I hope you guys can solve this before i tear my hair of ;)

    - I have created a MediaType called Flash and given the same properties as File

    - I have uploaded a Flash File which I have called through and macro using MediaPicker.

    - The variable is using MediaCurrent

     

    Problem:

    When I call the macro $fileId shows "/demo/media/103/top.swfswf533359" but $fileId/node/data[@alias = 'umbracoFile'] gives nothing.

    What am I missing?

    Hi Nicolai

    Can you provide us with your XSLT-code that you use to render the content?

    I think you are pretty close.

    Try this approach:

    <xsl:value-of select="$fileId/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />

    From what I can see, you have got the XML content of the media-item in the $fileId-variable, but I'm just guessing from the details you provided above :)

          <xsl:value-of select="$fileId/node/data[@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:value-of select="$fileURL"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:variable>

    Tried removing "node" but nothing happened

    Are you using the new or the old XML schema?

    And what does your $fileId contain? Only the choosen id from the media picker?

    If $fileId contais a media id you shopuld be able to get the path to the media this way if you are using the old schema:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($fileId,0)/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />

    And this way if you are using the new schema:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($fileId,0)/umbracoFile" />

    I'm not sure what you mean, but this is the macro

    <umbraco:Macro FileId="1081" FileURL="" FWidth="960" FHeight="250" CssId="" UrlParameters="" Alias="InsertFlash" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    In the macro FileId then becomes "demo/media/103/top.swfswf533359", guessing from mediaCurrent processing it.

    I have tried both your examples and on the mainpage it writes "error in the macro file"

    Hi,

    i don't know if you already solved it. I had the same problem.
    If you use the old schema (and i guess you do) you have to insert a "*" to get the correct result:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($fileId,0)/*/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />
