Q:
In the XSL how do I extract the reference link to the file?
For the 'Image' field i use sc:image and it returns a '~/media/Images/TopBanners/banner1.ashx' path. Which command do I use to extract a similar path? The only one I seem to be able to get is '/Files/CSS/styles_about' which isn't correct.
A:
The code sample below shows the way you can work with the file field in XSLT:
<xsl:variable name="mediaItem" select="sc:fld('file',.)" />
<xsl:variable name="mediaItemPath" select="concat('/sitecore/media library', $mediaItem)" />
<img src="{sc:fld('path', sc:item($mediaItemPath, .))}"></img><br />
<xsl:variable name="mediaItemPath" select="concat('/sitecore/media library', $mediaItem)" />
<img src="{sc:fld('path', sc:item($mediaItemPath, .))}"></img><br />
