    Can I get the Template Name from XSLT?

    I want to display the NAME of a template that a node is based on rather than its ALIAS - can I do that in XSLT?

    the name() function returns the alias - how can I get the name (name as entered for a template in the Developers section).

    If not with XSLT, can I do it via the API / C#?

    Hello. A template name isn't accessible from Xslt directly. However, you can always add some C# (or VB.NET) script to your xslt with a msxml:script element. In your case you could use something like this:

      <msxml:script language="C#" implements-prefix="script">
        <msxml:assembly name="cms"/>
        <msxml:assembly name="businesslogic"/>
        <msxml:using namespace="umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template"/>
          public string GetTemplateTextById(int id) {
            return new Template(id).Text;
          }
      </msxml:script>

    and:

    <xsl:value-of select="script:GetTemplateTextById($currentPage/@template)"/>

    I put the code into an XSLT Extension project ... and it works! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :-)

    FYI, there's also some XSLT extensions built into uComponents for accessing templates - GetTemplateById should work for you - see XSLT Extension - CMS
