    List display events otherwise display no events

    Hi, using v 4.0.4.2 and this is my xslt:

      <ul>
      <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@level='1']//node[@nodeTypeAlias='EventsPage']">
       <xsl:sort select="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(data [@alias='EventDate'], 'yyyyMMdd')" data-type="number" order="ascending" />
     

    <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= 5">

    <xsl:choose>

    <xsl:when test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/@id = current()/@id">
                            <xsl:attribute name="class">
                    <xsl:value-of select="'current'"/>
                            </xsl:attribute>

    <li>
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>
    </li>

    </xsl:when>

    <xsl:otherwise>
    <li>No events</li>
    </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

    </xsl:if>

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

    I am trying to make the list display 'No events' if there are no nodes under the 'latest news page'. Each sub page is called 'EventsPage'. I can't seem to get it to display correctly, nothing displays at the moment, just an empty list.

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :)

    ps I know my xslt is pretty poor still, I don't know in which order I should have the commands etc.

    Sam.

    Hi Sam,

    Your logic is a little out. You need to do something like this:

    <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node[@level='1']/node[@nodeTypeAlias='EventsPage']) &gt; 0">

    Display your events here in a loop

</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>

    <ul><li>No events</li></ul>


</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

    Thanks Rich,

    Only just got the time to sort this out. Reworked the xslt and it works a charm :)
