Hi,

I started using Umbraco last week, so forgive me if my question is trivial, but I cannot find answer. :blush:

I'd like to use Dictionary Item from within XSLT, but I can't find out how.
I thought of a workaround, that is passing Dictionary Items translation as a macro parameter:

Code:

<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="TopNavi" pageHome="#pageHome"></?UMBRACO_MACRO>


(pageHome is dictionary item with several translations)
but what I receive in xslt is literally '#pageHome' and not the dictionary item's current language translation. :ermm:

Any hint would be greatly appreciated. :cry:

Hi Maciej,

Try using the umbraco function

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem('name of dictionary item')"/>



There are lots of extra functions you can use in xslt. In the XSLT editor, click on the "Insert value of" icon at the top (next to the Save button).
Then click on "get extensions"

here you will find lots of magical xslt spells to play with

have fun!
Michael

The 'Get extension' button you mentioned reveals huge potential! :)
