Site-relative datasource locations

Question

We have a multisite setup, where Shared Content is stored in a node for each site as a sibling to the site frontpage.

For example:

- Website 1
-- Home
--- Some page
-- Shared Content
--- Contacts
- Website 2
...

In the above example, how would i use the Contacts folder as a DataSource Location in a TreeList or Multi List field etc.?

Answer 1

Would that work for you?

ancestor-or-self::*[@@templateid='{website-root-template-id-here}']/*[@@templateid='{shared-content-template-id-here}']/*[@@templateid='{contacts-node-template-id-here}']

This'll travel up the content tree to the nearest website root node (from any page) and then down to the respective Contacts node.
