List of a specific doctype from anywhere in site

Hi,

I need to get a list of 'Promo Boxes' from where ever I am on the site.

More specifically, from any page I need to iterate through any docType "promoBox" which sits under the docType 'promoBoxesRight'

Here's the structure:

Home
-About Us
-Contact Us
-Promo Boxes
    - Promo Boxes Right
        - Promo Box 1
        - Promo Box 2
    - Promo Boxes Center
        - Promo Box 3
        - Promo Box 4

Pseudo code would read something like:

    //Home/nodeTypeAlias ="PromoBoxRight"/nodeTypeAlias ="promoBox"

The 'Promo Boxes' docType has 'UmbracoNaviHide' set to true.

Many thanks,

Rich

Try
```
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node{@level=1]//node[@nodeTypeAlias='promoBoxRight']//node[@alias='promoBox']">
    // whatever
</xsl:for-each>
```
The syntax // means all child nodes. 'ancestor-or-self' allows you to search up the node structure.

The above syntax ignores 'UmbracoNaviHide', so you'll need to add it in if you need it.

Check out the subpages of http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt for more tips and examples.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks Chris, that worked a treat.

The only weird thing is that nothing would work until I deleted and recreated my document types.

Thanks again.
