    Help with DAMP XPath

    Hi, 
    Im needing a little help with my Xpath for the DAMP.
    Ive installed 2.0 with the samples and i am trying to use it load PDF's.

    My problem is with my XPath. Ive copied it exactly like in the sample.

    <!--DAMP File-->
        <xsl:variable name="file" select="$currentPage/dampFile/DAMP/mediaItem/File" />
        <h3 style="margin-top: 20px;">XSLT DAMP file sample</h3>
        <p>Download: <a href="{$file/umbracoFile}" target="_blank"><xsl:value-of select="$file/@nodeName"/></a></p>

    When I call the vallue of he content alias "dampFile",I get back

    " /media/23764/wisefish-product_information_sheet.pdfpdf459740"

    Ive also had a look in the xml, which is showing the following

       <dampFile>
            <DAMP fullMedia="">
              <mediaItem>
                <File id="1348" version="c2f43d86-da0f-4df1-b7b0-dbed30092db2" parentID="1347" level="4" writerID="0" nodeType="1033" template="0" sortOrder="1" createDate="2012-01-25T12:08:54" updateDate="2012-01-25T12:08:50" nodeName="Product Information" urlName="productinformation" writerName="Martin" nodeTypeAlias="File" path="-1,1116,1345,1347,1348">
                  <umbracoFile>/media/23764/wisefish-product_information_sheet.pdf</umbracoFile>
                  <umbracoExtension>pdf</umbracoExtension>
                  <umbracoBytes>459740</umbracoBytes>
                </File>
              </mediaItem>
            </DAMP>
          </dampFile>

     

    Could someone help me out and explain the variable select path?

    Thanks

    Martin

    Hmm seems everything is ok. If you call the dampfile the value you get back is correct because it returns everything that is in that element. You should call dampfile/DAMP/mediaItem/File/umbracoFile to get the pdf path. Do you understand?

    Thanks Jeroen, 

    I removed the "$currentPage" from the value path of the variable and it seems to work.
