I am trying to setup XSLTSearch on a site I am developing. The download for the original file is not working: http://packages.umbraco.org/packages/website-utilities/xsltsearch?callback=&version=Does anyone know where I can get a copy? Cheers, Marc

You can get it from the package repository (right-click the 'Macros' treeview item and select the Import Package menu, then browse the package repository), or you can get it directly from my site at http://www.percipientstudios.com/xsltsearch.aspxFull docs are available in both places as well. cheers, doug.

Hi Doug,
I have managed to get the search working. Is it possible to check the Document Type for each result and if it matches a specific document type, open the parent node. The reason I am asking is because I have nodes that aren't actual webpages. An example is a list of FAQ items. If my FAQ items come back in the search I want to open the parent page for the FAQ item.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers,
Marc

Hi Doug, I went for creating a template with a redirect and making all child nodes that do not have a page use this template. Code:
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="RedirectURL" select="$currentPage/parent::node / @id"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- start writing XSLT -->
<xsl:if test="$RedirectURL != ''">
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($RedirectURL)"/>"
</script>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
I'm not brave enough to mess about with the XSLT yet. Cheers, Marc

Nice approach, that'll work! One thing... you might want to include an <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($RedirectURL)}"> for anyone who has javascript disabled. And hang in there with xslt... you'll pick it up in time. Indeed, your macro for redirecting shows you've already got a good handle on things. cheers, doug.

Hi Doug, Cheers for the advice. I am slowly starting to get the hang of XSLT however I am still finding it a bit scary at times. W3 Schools seems to be a good starting point. Cheers, Marc

I love W3 Schools. You'll also want to bookmark Casey's great 'umbraco book' at http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books/xslt-basics. Extremely helpful. cheers, doug.
