    MNTP XSLT problem

    Hi

    I'm using a MNTP. I want to select all pages of a doc type called "HousingAssociation". These pages can have sub pages.

    I want to just display all pages of HousingAssociation type for the user to select. I don't want to display any sub pages.

    Its been a while since I've done any XSLT so I may be missing something. Here is my code:

    $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::Home//HousingAssociation

    I've written this in an XSLT script and used the visualiser and it does what I'd like it to. However when I past it into the XPathExpression field for the MNTP it doesn't behaving the same. The MNTP shows (it only shows the first one):

    Housing Association 1
    Sub page 1
    Sub page 2
    Sub page 3

    I can use the filter to only allow selecting of the HousingAssociation but I still can't see the other HousingAssociations and also I want to hide the sub pages from the user.

    Any help appreciated

    Thanks

    Ben

    Hi Ben,

    The XPath expression for MNTP is used to select a start node only, it wont pre-select a collection of nodes to be displayed in the tree.

    If you only want to select from a specific set of nodes, then take a look at either XPathCheckBoxList or XPathDropDownList.

    (If you are using the uComponents package - then there is also an XPathAutoComplete data-type)

    Cheers, Lee

    Great, thanks Lee and thanks for quick response. 

    That makes sense.

    XPathCheckBoxList does exactly what I need so I'll use that.
