Hi,
I'm looking for a way to pass some constant parameter from sitemap to all my xsl styles. Basically I need to replace multiple occurences (bad design! not mine :)) of "(c) 2001-2003" to something like "(c) 2001-${currentyear}", where "currentyear" will be defined in single place (sitemap, sub-sutemap?).
One posible solution is using XInclude. We use it to set some particular variables for our applications. Note we use some generic xslt to make rendering. I think this could help you too. Sample:
Description: We have some variables names for every application that have his own values: application name, author, copyright notice, etc.
The solution using XInclude is very easy, just 3 steps:
Here is the basic XML that store this particular data for each application (sorry the tags are in spanish, but I hope you can get the idea from):
1- Write a file with tags that will contain all the particular data for each application:
********************** appdata.xml ****************************** <aplicacion> <nombre>My app name</nombre> <titulo>The title of the App</titulo> <elaborado>Who made the App</elaborado> <html> <meta name="author" content="An author notice"/> <meta name="copyright" content="The copyright notice"/> <meta name="date" content="Start date"/> </html> <documentacion>Who made the documentation</documentacion> ...... </aplicacion> *****************************************************************
2-Then in a xslt we use XInclude:
************************** render2html.xslt ********************* <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <xsl:template match="document"> <html lang="es-NI"> <head> <xi:include href="context:///resources/datosapp.xml#xpointer(/aplicacion/html/node())"/> *****************************************************************
3-In the sitemap.xmap you will use the xinclude transformer after the stylesheet that render the page. In this case render2html.xslt:
.... <map:transform src="stylesheets/render2html.xslt"/> <map:transform type="xinclude"/> .... *****************************************************************
For more info about XInclude: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/transformers/xinclude-transformer.html
I hope this help.
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo
Thank you, Antonio!
However, this is not exactly what I want since I'll have to add <xi:include ... /> to each xsl file. I will do it, of course, if no other solutions exist. Ideally, I want to define something in sitemap (or include something just once), and then use it in each xsl file without including additional files.
