Hello. I have a problem with xslt menu template. I want to return a paragraph text in a specific location in xslt (in attachment, location is a comment). This text must be from a specific paragraph whose name is "Description" (this paragraph is also in section "Description area") from the current (active) page. I try many trick but without success. Thank You for help.

Main_Menu.xslt

Hi Tomasz,
I think that you can use  tag.
But problem how to get needed paragraph id...
What if you set for page's property NavigationTag the id of needed paragraph?

In this case your xslt might look like this:

        <xsl:if test="@NavigationTag>'0'">
        <xsl:comment>@Global:Paragraph.Content(<xsl:value-of select="@NavigationTag"/>)</xsl:comment>
         </xsl:if>

Best regards,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for reply. <xsl:value-of select="@NavigationTag"/> returns nothing.
I try to connect this param with this solution http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/forum/templates/globalpage/paragraph.content%28%29.aspx, but this don't work too. Temporary I was use a jQuery to replace a div content. How can I return all tags which can I use in xslt? A &SaveTemplateXML=true don't work (or I do something wrong).
Thanks for help.

Try to use &SaveXML=true parameter - xml file(s) should appears in \Files\Templates\Designs\YourTemplate\Navigation folder
I think you find @NavigationTag in obtained xml :)

Best regards,
Vladimir

Thanks for help. &SaveXML=true is working, but in obtained xml I don't find a @NavigationTag. I think that I don't understand Your first answer:) What this is mind: "What if you set for page's property NavigationTag the id of needed paragraph?" I must manualy enter a paragraph ID somewhere in pages properties? If yes, how can I do this?:) Sorry if I don't know a DynamicWeb structure and options but I'm just started working in DW. Thanks for reply.

Best regards,
Tomasz

Hi Tomasz!
Yes, the only way that I imagine to transfer requered paragraphID it is pass manualy throught page's NavigationTag.
Page properties are accessed from backend, when you right click on page, then appeared a menu with Properties option.
Then Options tab -> Navigation button (in ribbon menu)
And Id of paragraph is showed in url in the bottom of a brouser

Kind regards,
Vladimir
