    Get URL of content picker

    Hi,

    If

     umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)

    gets the url of the current page, how do I get the url that I have just picked in a content picker where the alias is 'testlink' for example?

    I've tried along the lines of 

    umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentpage/[@alias='testLink'])

    but I just get an error when saving the xslt file.

    Thanks,
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel

    $currentPage has a capital P, so this will probably be causing you issues.  For posterity, here's what I use (a bit more verbose though)

    umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/data[@alias='testLink'])

    Hope this helps,
    Dan

    Thanks Dan.

    I want to check if 'hobOptions' has a url associated with it (from a content picker) and, if it has, display an image with a link from 'hobOption'

    I'm trying to do something like the following...

    <xsl:if test="string($currentPage/data[@alias='hobOptions']) != ''">
            <xsl:variable name="url" select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/data[@alias='hobOptions'], 0)"/>
                    <li>
                            <a href="{$url}"><img src="/media/53/hob_options.jpg" /></a>
                    </li>

    </xsl:if>

     but I'm getting an error on my page "Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\ProductOptions.xslt"

    So I think I'm missing something but i'm not sure what!

    Thanks,

    Rachel

    Hi Rachel

    You could try this one out:

    <xsl:if test="$currentPage/data[@alias='hobOptions'] != ''">
                <xsl:variable name="url" select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/data[@alias='hobOptions'])"/>
                <li>
                        <a href="{$url}"><img src="/media/53/hob_options.jpg" /></a>
                </li>
    </xsl:if>

    This should work. You shouldn't use the last ", 0" in the umbraco.library:NiceUrl.

    Hope this works :)

    Thanks Kim, works like a charm!

    I was confused as previously I had been trying to do a similar thing with GetMedia.

    Thanks for your help.
