I've got an issue with trying to display an image in a macro. It's driving me nuts. I've found a couple of posts with similar issues but either no one seems to find an answer or the person must have found their answer and not posted their solution as the posts just kind of stop. :( Anyway, I've got 2 variables declared in my XSLT doc: <xsl:variable name="freeTrialPage" select="/macro/freeTrial" /> <xsl:variable name="freeTrialImage" select="/macro/freeTrialImage" /> freeTrialPage is a contentPicker and works fine. freeTrialImage is my mediaCurrent. This is my code: Code:<xsl:if test="($freeTrialPage!= '') and ($freeTrialImage!='')"> <a href='{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($freeTrialPage)}' title='Sign up now for a FREE trial!'> <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($freeTrialImage/data [@alias = 'image'], 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/> </a> </xsl:if> This saves ok but I get this error: Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\FeatureList.xslt Debug info is spitting this out: Debug from Feature List <macro><freeTrialImage><node id="1365" version="f1153940-7abd-4812-a16f-c02715ea8892" parentID="-1" level="1" writerID="6" nodeType="1032" template="0" sortOrder="2" createDate="2008-09-09T15:27:54" updateDate="2008-09-09T15:27:54" nodeName="Try CubeIQ Button" urlName="trycubeiqbutton" writerName="Lloyd" nodeTypeAlias="Image" path="-1,1365"><data alias="umbracoFile">/media/8806/layout-home-signup_07.gif</data><data alias="umbracoWidth">360</data><data alias="umbracoHeight">50</data><data alias="umbracoBytes">4150</data><data alias="umbracoExtension">gif</data></node></freeTrialImage><freeTrial>1352</freeTrial></macro> I'm not sure where I am going wrong. I'm presently suspecting that it has something to do with me using [@alias='image'] but I can't be sure why. I thought I'd post because I've been banging my head on the screen for nearly an hour and all I want to do is display a simple image.  Any ideas? lloyd

is the image assigned in the macro or on teh docType? you also might want to change that alias name from image to see if that does anything... i think everything you have looks good otherwise.

I tried specifying the image in the macro but now I have it via a mediaPicker so my macro placed on the page looks like this:
<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="FeatureList" currentPage="" freeTrial="1352" freeTrialImage="1365"></?UMBRACO_MACRO>
I've tried removing the image alias too (I thought it was looking under the wrong node) and renaming it also but neither have helped.

I'm paraphrasing horribly here but for: Code:<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="Image" ImageNode="2003"></?UMBRACO_MACRO> Something like: Code:<xsl:variable name="ImageNode" select="/macro/ImageNode/node/@id" />
<xsl:variable name="parent" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($ImageNode, 'false')" />
<xsl:for-each select="$parent/node">
<xsl:if test="./data [@alias = 'umbracoExtension'] = 'gif' or ./data [@alias = 'umbracoExtension'] = 'jpg' or ./data [@alias = 'umbracoExtension'] = 'jpeg' or ./data [@alias = 'umbracoExtension'] = 'png'">
<xsl:element name="img">
<xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
It's an extract from something that works perfectly for the specific task I needed but it might be helpful to you? Richard

Thanks Richard, It's not quite helped as I'm using the MediaPicker. If I use the node id hard coded like so it works fine: Code:
<xsl:if test="$freeTrialImage!= ''">
<xsl:element name="img">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1365, 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
However, with the media picker my variable isn't returning a nodeId (as I would expect) and I'm getting a chunk of data back which includes the url I need. The exact same issue was reported by Heather on this thread http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst4525_New-Macro-Parameter-Type-mediaPicker.aspx but it doesn't appear to have been solved. I'm not sure how to get at the umbracoFile data that is in the output or remove the other details that are appended to the string that is being output when I print out my variable returned by the media picker. So, if I use this code. Code:
<xsl:variable name="freeTrialImage" select="/macro/freeTrialImage" />
<xsl:value-of select="$freeTrialImage"/>
Where freeTrialImage is data returned from my mediaPicker then this is the output printed to the screen: /media/8806/layout-home-signup_07.gif360504150gif Is this a concatenation of all the node data? What is returned from the media picker is it a node or a node id? If it's a node how do I extract the data. Also, might be important to note, I'm NOT doing this in any for each loop. It's one alias set up on a macro to place an image at the top of section.

You're right that you're getting the entire media node data. With a value-of it is just concatinated together. If you use Code:<xsl:copy-of select="$freeTrialImage"/> And then look at the html code in your browser when you run the macro you'll see the entire node data, which will show you the part you want to get in your select= statement. In short, just change your code to... Code:<xsl:variable name="freeTrialImage" select="/macro/freeTrialImage" />
<xsl:value-of select="$freeTrialImage/data[@alias='umbracoFile']"/>
This should give you /media/8806/layout-home-signup_07.gif If you want to put that in an img tag, just do the following... Code:<xsl:variable name="freeTrialImage" select="/macro/freeTrialImage" /> <img> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="$freeTrialImage/data[@alias='umbracoFile']"/> </xsl:attribute> </img> cheers, doug.

Hey Doug
That doesn't seem to be working. I'm just getting a blank section where the image should be displayed.

BTW my copy-of data is producing:
<cubeIQfreeTrialImage><node id="1365" version="f1153940-7abd-4812-a16f-c02715ea8892" parentID="-1" level="1" writerID="6" nodeType="1032" template="0" sortOrder="2" createDate="2008-09-09T15:27:54" updateDate="2008-09-09T15:27:54" nodeName="Try CubeIQ Button" urlName="trycubeiqbutton" writerName="Lloyd" nodeTypeAlias="Image" path="-1,1365"><data alias="umbracoFile">/media/8806/layout-home-signup_07.gif</data><data alias="umbracoWidth">360</data><data alias="umbracoHeight">50</data><data alias="umbracoBytes">4150</data><data alias="umbracoExtension">gif</data></node></cubeIQfreeTrialImage>
but referencing data and then the umbracoFile alias just isn't returning anything.

Thanks for the copy-of output, very helpful! It looks like you'll need to reference the 'node' in the path as well. You can either modify the variable or the value-of... both give the same result but if you call it more than once setting the variable will save a couple characters in your code (this is probably needless "optimization", so do whichever you prefer). Code:<xsl:variable name="freeTrialImage" select="/macro/freeTrialImage/node" /> Does that do it? cheers, doug.
