在Umbraco中显示最新条目

Question

I'm new to Xslt and Umbraco.

I'm trying to fetch the latest, say for example 4, entries from my umbraco database and display them on the homepage. There is an image, title, date, and body that are entered in content tab, in a page, which should be assosiated with eachother.

Using Xslt, how do I go about firstly, associating the image, title, date, and body text with eachother. And Secondly, displaying the latest descending entries by date?

Answer 1

You create a doc type (this contains the metadata of the nodes like image, title, body, date); then create a template which contains the markup interspersed with the content placeholders (the umbraco:item or umbraco:macro bits).

Add a macro that contains your xslt to show the last four items; and put that macro in the template.

Then create some content node based on this doc type/template (in many cases the doc type to template ratio is 1:1).

In those content nodes you can then specify the contents of those fields you set up in the doc type.

I don't do any xslt any more - I only use razor in macros - but your macro would look something like:

  <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant-or-self::node [@nodeTypeAlias='itemType']">
    <xsl:sort select="data[@alias='createdDate']" order="descending" />
    <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= 4">
      <xsl:value-of select="@title" />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
