    List values from custom data type in macro

    Hi

    I have created some categories in a custom data type, see image below

    Is it possible to list theese values (programmatically) through a macro or in a template somehow?

    Thanks

    Yep you can access it by finding out the datatype's id - by hovering over the datatype in the tree and checking the url displayed in the status bar at the footer of the browser.

    It should read something like

    javascript:openDataType(1023)

    Then take that id and you can use it as follows in an xslt macro

     

    <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetPreValues(1023)//preValue">
            <xsl:value-of select="." /><br/>
    </xsl:for-each>

    The xml you transform will be something like this

    <preValues>
       <preValue id="10">PHP</preValue>
       <preValue id="11">Joomla</preValue>
       <preValue id="12">SQL Syntax</preValue>
    </preValues>
