input module question

[Jeremy Quinn]

Hi All,

I am interested in seeing whether Input Modules in the Sitemap can use Sitemap params as their own params.

I am looking at all the different ways to solve a problem .... before we choose a solution

Say I have a set of urls:

/archive/people/ABC
<snip/>
/archive/people/WXYZ

Which result in modifications to an SQL Query:

WHERE surname LIKE 'A%' OR 'B%' OR 'C%'
<snip/>
WHERE surname LIKE 'W%' OR 'X%' OR 'Y%' OR 'Z%'

Say I had an XML file, used by the XMLFileModule (mapped to 'alphabet'), that mapped each (allowed) letter group to the query modification it needed, then this could be passed by the sitemap to the SQLTransformer via a map:parameter into a <substitute-value sql:name="alphabet"/>.

But is this possible?

<map:match pattern="archive/(.*)/([A-Z]*)$" type="regexp">
<map:generate src="{our:content}/archive/{1}.xml"/>
<snip/>
<map:transform type="sql">
<map:parameter name="alphabet" value="{alphabet:{2}}"/>
</map:transform> ^^^ ????????
<snip/>
</map:match>

Is this possible to do?

This is just one solution I am looking at ..... but thanks for any help anyway ....

regards Jeremy
