    Difference between @nodeTypeAlias and @alias

    I am currently working on converting a v4.0 Umbraco site (old schema) to v4.7.1.1 (new schema)

    There is LOTS of code in User Controls, classes, etc and this is typical:

    xpath = string.Format("//node [@nodeTypeAlias = '{0}' and data[@alias = 'adSpendHeavyweight'] = 1]", Library.GetDocumentTypeAlias("BrandOwner"));

    Can I just check how this should be changed to suit the new schema please

    Hi Gordon,

    This should do it:

    xpath = string.Format("//{0}[adSpendHeavyweight = 1]", Library.GetDocumentTypeAlias("BrandOwner"));

    Thanks for the fast reply Chriztian!

    So, to make it clear in my mind!!!

    @nodeTypeAlias value replaces "node" - could I also do this:     /* [name() = '{0}']  (I am concerned that some of the names may contain spaces!!)

    data[@alias = 'adSpendHeavyweight'] = 1 converts to "adSpendHeavyweight = 1"

    Hi Gordon,

    You can do the name() thing, but it won't matter - if any of the nodeTypeAliases had spaces in them I *think* they should have been replaced with an underscore ...

    The translations are a little bit dependent on the context, but sometimes you just need to see the before & after versions, e.g:

    <!-- v4.1 and lower: -->
<node id="4" nodeTypeAlias="Cantina">
    <data alias="greedo">1</data>
</node>

<!-- v4.5++ -->
<Cantina id="4" isDoc="">
    <greedo>1</greedo>
</Cantina>

    Yes, I agree it's a "context" issue but judging by how this project looks I wouldn't be surprised if some nodeTypeAliases had spaces!!

    Thanks again for your help.
