    Finding Search Id in Multinode Tree Picker

    Hi,

    When using the examine search I get this XML (simplified):

    <nodes>
  <node id="1394">
    <data alias="parentID">1755</data>
    <data alias="nodeName">Hinge BK5</data>
  </node>
</nodes>

    The object, 1394, might be picked by a Multinode Tree Picker, like this:

    <Material id="1116">
  <materialTitle>Bridge 7</materialTitle>
  <materialParts>
     <MultiNodePicker type="content">
       <nodeId>1391</nodeId>
       <nodeId>1394</nodeId>
       <nodeId>2227</nodeId>
    </MultiNodePicker>
   </materialParts>
</Material>

    How do I get the Id of <Material> 1116?

    Hi Daniel,

    You can get a set of all nodes that reference the node like this:

    <!-- This is the call that returns the nodes element - change that to how you're actually getting the Examine result -->
<xsl:variable name="result" select="custom:search('something')" />

<!-- Reference to site's root -->
<xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 1]" />

<!-- Find the Material node(s) that reference any node returned from the search -->
<xsl:variable name="theyPickedMe" select="$siteRoot//Material[materialParts//nodeId = $result//node/@id]" />

<!-- Render some output -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="$theyPickedMe" />

<!-- Template for Material output -->
<xsl:template match="Material">
    <p><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" /> : <xsl:value-of select="@id" /></p>
</xsl:template>

    The important part is that you get a set - so if your search results in more than one node, you can get them all at once - if they're not all Material nodes just change the Material pattern to the more generic document selector: *[@isDoc].

    Hope that helps,

    /Chriztian
