Thread: XML for menu not applying attribute on selected category

Hello all,

I have gone through the forum and cant seem to find a solution for this problem. I am switched my side menu to use rev.categories.xml.config.
but the following code will not work to apply the attribute. I am using v9.3.1.0,

<a href="{aspdnsf:EntityLink(EntityID, SEName, 'Category', 0)}">
<xsl:if test="EntityID = $CategoryID or descendant::Entity/EntityID = $CategoryID">
<xsl:attribute name="style">font-weight:bold</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="$eName"/>
</a>

Any one know what I am missing? this is out of the box code, but something must be wrong.

If you remove the xsl:test lines, does the code work?

Yes the code does work without the test.

Does it work individually with teach test condition (get ride of the OR and try one at a time).

If I remove the test then all list items will receive the attribute. Even if I remove the OR it still does not work.

I think perhaps I was misunderstood. Please tell me, do either of these lines work properly?

Code:

<xsl:if test="EntityID = $CategoryID">

Code:

<xsl:if test="descendant::Entity/EntityID = $CategoryID">

In place of:

Code:

<xsl:if test="EntityID = $CategoryID or descendant::Entity/EntityID = $CategoryID">

If so, then there is a problem with the or conjunction. If one of the two test conditions don't work as expected, then we'll have to fix that first.

Yes, neither of those work.

Have you checked the output value of the variables your testing by either using debug mode or by using a bunch of <xsl:value-of select=""/> statements?

Are you getting any errors in the ASPDNSF event log?
