Hi David

Would'nt you be able to use exactly the same code?

If the pages you want to list on your homepage are children of it, then you should be able to use the above code to list them unless I'm missing something?

Hi Jan,

thanks for the quick response. I'm afraid it doesn't work. The homepage is on the same level as the Offers page right now, and the offers themselves are children of the Offers page. This is because I have a holding page on the top level. I tried adding the macro to the holding page, whereby the Offers page is a child, but it goes screwy! (makes multiple scrolling divs with no content).

Thanks for trying!

David.

Ok, so if I understand you correctly it's actually not content from subpages under your homepage node you want to have displayed. But content from other nodes at the same level as the homepage node?

In that case you can use the GetXmlNodeById extension from the umbraco.library.

<xsl:variable name="contentSrc" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(yourid)" /> - you can find the id of a node by focusing a node and look at the bottom left corner.

You can now use the $contentSrc variable in your for-each loop to get the content.

If you don't want to hardcode the id you can add a content picker to your homepage documet type, in which you can choose the node where you want the subnodes from.

Then the variable could look something like this <xsl:variable name="contentSrc" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($currentPage/YourPropertyName)" />

Hope this helps

Hi Jan, I spotted something.

Currently, My two special offers are child pages of the Special Offers page. When I added the macro to the homepage template, it did not find the required offers. BUT, when I copied the child pages (the offers) to directly below the homepage, the exact same XSTL worked. This leads me to believe that the XSLT only works for child pages directly below the page the macro is used on.

The following sitemap didn't work:-

Home
Special offers
- Offer 1
- Offer 2

the following sitemap did work:-

Home
- offer 1
- offer 2
Special Offers
- offer 1
- offer 2

This means I just need to figure out how to make an xslt file that can target child pages of another node or level. Does this make sense? I hope so!

Hi Jan,

sorry I must have replied while you were typing your response. Thanks for your solution, I will try my best to implement it now.

Many thanks,

David.

Hi Jan,

Below is my best attempt at implementing your solution. Suffice to say it does not work. Please point out where I am going wrong.

Hi Jan,

That was really simple in the end. Thanks for the help!!

This info will be really useful in the long run.
