I am using xslt1.0. My input is
<xsl:variable name="string">width:12pt;border-width:13pt</xsl:variable>
I want to replace the -width: into some other string, but not the width:(width starting with - alone should replaced).How to do it in xslt 1.0.
There is no replace function in XSLT 1.0. You can find here (String.Replace() in XSLT) a template that can do that.
You can use it like this:
<xsl:variable name="string">
<xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="width:12pt;border-width:13pt" />
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="-width" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="other-string" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>

I have a Sharepoint list, and one of the columns is a lookup column that returns multiple values, separated by a semi-colon. I would like to display these items as separate lines in the output, instead of as a single line with the separator. The xsl for the field in question is as follows:
<xsl:template match="FieldRef[(#Encoded) and #Name='Project_x0020_Tasks']" ddwrt:dvt_mode="body" mode="Lookup_body" ddwrt:ghost="show">
<xsl:param name="thisNode" select="."/>
<xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/#*[name()=current()/#Name]" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:template>
currently the view displays the data inside a table cell as:
Task 1; Task 2; Task 3;
I would like it to display as
Task 1
Task 2
Task 3
I've spent plenty of hours searching online but haven't found any solution that helps me so far.
What you could do is have a recursive template that converts semi-colons to <br /> tags, like so:
<xsl:template name="CharToLineBreak">
<xsl:param name="text" />
<xsl:param name="char" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $char)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, $char)" />
<br />
<xsl:call-template name="CharToLineBreak">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, $char)" />
<xsl:with-param name="char" select="$char" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Then, instead of doing xsl:value-of as shown in your question, do xsl:call-template like so...
<xsl:call-template name="CharToLineBreak">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$thisNode/#*[name()=current()/#Name]" />
<xsl:with-param name="char" select="';'" />
</xsl:call-template>
I am not sure why you have so much complexity with getting the attribute value though. It could be simplified to just this
<xsl:call-template name="CharToLineBreak">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="#Project_x0020_Tasks" />
<xsl:with-param name="char" select="';'" />
</xsl:call-template>
I have XML coming back from a search engine with nodes like so
<team>Some team name with &</team>
I need to make a link of the team and while it might not be the optimal way it worked till I discovered that some team names include an ampersand
What I have is (team surrounded by double quotes)
<xsl:variable name="teamend" select="concat(team,'%22')"/>
<a href="{concat('http://site/page.aspx?k=team%3D%22', $teamend)}">
<xsl:call-template name="DisplayCustomField">
<xsl:with-param name="customfield" select="team" />
</xsl:call-template>
but if team contains an ampersand the link will be broken, how can I best fix this?
Thanks in advance
You can use this named template and call it before using the string in team:
<xsl:template name="replace">
<xsl:param name="string"/>
<xsl:param name="substring"/>
<xsl:param name="replacement"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, $substring)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, $substring)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$replacement"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="substring" select="$substring"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replacement" select="$replacement"/>
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, $substring)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
You can call it like this, and replace any substring with another:
<xsl:variable name="string-with-escaped-ampersand">
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="team"/>
<xsl:with-param name="substring">&</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="replacement">%26</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
And use it in your code:
<xsl:variable name="teamend" select="concat($string-with-escaped-ampersand,'%22')"/>
As #Tomalak pointed out in the comments, since you are generating an URL you might have to deal with several other characters which need to be encoded. There are functions for that in XSLT 2.0, but in XSLT 1.0 you will be limited to templates or extensions.
I have the following xml.
<xml>
<table>
<cols width="1.00*" />
<cols width="2.00*" />
<cols width="4.00*" />
<row><p>Hello</p></row>
</table>
<p>
Life is good.
</p>
</xml>
Explaination:
I need to read the column width from the above xml and display. But in some cases user specifies the width so less that the table columns overlap on each other.
Hence I thought to do this formula.
col1width=col1width/totalWidth*100;
This will give me the table width in % format so that the columns get distributed properly.
But I am not able to take a total count of all these attributes. My xslt just does not work. Please see the xslt below:
XSLT:
<xsl:template match="node()" mode="table">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed">
<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="current()/cols">
<xsl:variable name="maxWidth"
select="number(substring-before(current()/table/cols/#width, '*')) + number(substring-before(following-sibling::cols/#width, '*'))" />
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table>
Solutions tried:
I have tried using sum function. But here, before summing, i have to
truncate the '*' character and convert to number and then add. Does
not work.
Written a recursive template to get the sum. I am getting the sum with this. But I am not able to return the total width from the
template. I guess xslt does not support returning of calculated
values. Below is the recursive xslt.
<xsl:template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:param name="total" select="0" />
<xsl:param name="totalCols" />
<xsl:param name="index" select="1" />
<xsl:if test="$index <= $totalCols">
<xsl:variable name="maxWidth"
select="$total + translate(current()/cols[$index]/#width, '*', '')" />
<xsl:call-template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:with-param name="total" select="$maxWidth" />
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$totalCols" />
<xsl:with-param name="index" select="$index + 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
XSLT call:
<xsl:template name="main">
<xsl:variable name="maximumWidth">
<xsl:call-template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:with-param name="total" select="0" />
<xsl:with-param name="totalCols"
select="count(current()/cols)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
Here, the variable is of type string and hence has no value.
Please help me with this problem. Also can suggest any other approach for table column width. I am generating pdf output using xsl fo. And my whole xslt is dynamic. I cannot have a direct path like node1/node2/node3.
Thank you.
You've got a couple of problems with your maximumTableWidth template to start with. Firstly, you should probably wrap the translate function in the number function
<xsl:variable name="maxWidth"
select="$total + number(translate(current()/cols[$index]/#width, '*', ''))" />
Secondly, you need to make sure you call it with the correct parameters. For your recursive call you set a parameter called nodes, when it should be totalCols
<xsl:with-param name="totalCols" select="$totalCols" />
But in terms of returning a value, all you need to do it use xsl:value-of to output the value, and your maximumWidth variable will then be set to that value. All you need to do is change the xsl:if in the template to an xsl:choose and output the value in the xsl:otherwise condition:
<xsl:template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:param name="total" select="0" />
<xsl:param name="totalCols" />
<xsl:param name="index" select="1" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$index <= $totalCols">
<xsl:variable name="maxWidth"
select="$total + number(translate(current()/cols[$index]/#width, '*', ''))" />
<xsl:call-template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:with-param name="total" select="$maxWidth" />
<xsl:with-param name="totalCols" select="$totalCols" />
<xsl:with-param name="index" select="$index + 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$total" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
There is another way to write this template recursively. Instead of passing in the index, and incrementing it, pass in the cols element itself, and use following-sibling to iterate over them. Try this template instead
<xsl:template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:param name="col" />
<xsl:param name="total" select="0" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$col">
<xsl:variable name="maxWidth"
select="$total + number(translate($col/#width, '*', ''))" />
<xsl:call-template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:with-param name="total" select="$maxWidth" />
<xsl:with-param name="col" select="$col/following-sibling::cols[1]" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$total" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
You would call this like so:
<xsl:variable name="maximumWidth">
<xsl:call-template name="maximumTableWidth">
<xsl:with-param name="col" select="cols[1]" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$maximumWidth" />
EDIT: If you were able to use XSLT 2.0, then you can do away with the named template altogether, and just set the maximumWidth template to this
<xsl:variable name="maximumWidth" select="sum(cols/(number(translate(#width, '*', ''))))" />
I am using XSLT 2.0 and have a variable who contains dates separated by comma. I try to tokenize this variable in a for-each but in execution, I have the error: "Cannot select a node here: the context item is an atomic value"
Here is my code:
<xsl:variable name="datesMois">
<xsl:call-template name="dayOfMonth">
<xsl:with-param name="pDay" select="01" />
<xsl:with-param name="pMonth" select="/workfile/query/#month" />
<xsl:with-param name="pYear" select="/workfile/query/#year" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="currentstartdate" select="substring-before(., 'T')" />
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($datesMois,',')">
<xsl:variable name="dateJour" select="." />
...
The template dayOfMonth returns the days for the month given in parameters.
I don't understand what is wrong in my code, could you please help me?
Thanks.
Assuming you have something like
<xsl:variable name="datesMois">
<xsl:call-template name="dayOfMonth">
<xsl:with-param name="pDay" select="01" />
<xsl:with-param name="pMonth" select="/workfile/query/#month" />
<xsl:with-param name="pYear" select="/workfile/query/#year" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="currentstartdate" select="substring-before(., 'T')" />
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($datesMois,',')">
<xsl:variable name="dateJour" select="." />
<xsl:value-of select="foo[date = $dateJour]"/>
you would get the error you describe, to avoid that you would need to store the context node outside of the for-each in a variable as in
<xsl:variable name="datesMois">
<xsl:call-template name="dayOfMonth">
<xsl:with-param name="pDay" select="01" />
<xsl:with-param name="pMonth" select="/workfile/query/#month" />
<xsl:with-param name="pYear" select="/workfile/query/#year" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="currentstartdate" select="substring-before(., 'T')" />
<xsl:variable name="context" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($datesMois,',')">
<xsl:variable name="dateJour" select="." />
<xsl:value-of select="$context/foo[date = $dateJour]"/>
I had to guess how your code might look that causes the error, if you still have problems then post the exact line of your code that causes the error.
In XPATH 2.0 there is a function that allows me to replace a substring in a string with another string. I'd like to do this using xalan. Unfortunately, it doesn't support the EXSLT method str:replace and it only uses XSLT 1.0 stylesheets. Including the function from exslt.org doesn't seem to work. If I try using the function style, it complains that it can't find str:replace. If I try using the template style, it complains that it can't find node-set, even though it is supported. translate is useless since it's just a character swap. Any ideas?
You can write your own function which can immitate xslt 2.0 replace :
<xsl:template name="replace">
<xsl:param name="text" />
<xsl:param name="replace" />
<xsl:param name="by" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $replace)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)" />
<xsl:value-of select="$by" />
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="substring-after($text,$replace)" />
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="$by" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
If you call it like this :
<xsl:variable name="replacedString">
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="'This'" />
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="'This'" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="'That'" />
</xsl:call-template>
Your resulting $replacedString will have the value "That"
