I'm using a "choice" site column with the multiple-check option enabled so that users can tag a list item with several choices from the column.
This column then powers a design feature in a content query webpart - where the column choice is appended to create an image filename.
Choice1
Choice2
Choice3
Choice4
becomes
<img src="http://mysite/content-Choice1.jpg />
The problem I've got is that the XSL parser is fed a string which has semicolons (;) and hashes (#) separating the choice values. If all 4 options were ticked, the string fed into the XSLT parser would be:
;#Choice1;#Choice2;#Choice3;#Choice4
How can I work through the string and separate each choice into its own XSL variable?
I've tried various substring-before functions, but I can't get anything working.
Since XPath 1.0 does not support the tokenize() function, you'll have to do all the work yourself. For instance, you can generate the <img> elements recursively from the choices:
<xsl:template name="RecurseConvertChoicesToImages">
<xsl:param name="choices" />
<xsl:variable name="token"
select="substring-before($choices, ';#')" />
<xsl:variable name="nextToken"
select="substring-after($choices, ';#')" />
<xsl:if test="$token">
<img src="http://mysite/content-{$token}.jpg" />
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$nextToken">
<xsl:call-template name="RecurseConvertChoicesToImages">
<xsl:with-param name="choices" select="$nextToken" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
I would recommend to use JavaScript to parse the string and accordingly display the image using JavaScript.

I am using an XSLT template to convert and format some output from FileMaker to Excel. It works perfectly for all but one column. The data is numeric, but must be output as a string in the format NN.NN. The data field is entered as, for example, 04.13, but when output to Excel, displays as 4.13. There are some cases where the user has input 04 13 (which oututs correctly as it cannot be parsed as a number) but where the user has entered the data correctly into filemaker (the field is Text), i.e. 04.13, I need to ensure the output data remains in the correct format.
I have tried the following, but it does not appear to work as expected - the output file still shows the column values as numbers, ie loses the leading zero:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$xlFieldName='d_Oracle_Task_Code'">
<xsl:variable name="OracleTaskCode" select="fmp:DATA" />
<xsl:value-of select='format-number(OracleTaskCode, "00.00")' />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
I'm not worried about the cases where the input is missing the decimal point seperator, only ensuring the values are output as text.
Try defining a variable as:
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
then use:
<xsl:value-of select="concat($apos, format-number(OracleTaskCode, '00.00'))" />
Another option worth trying would be to define the cell contents as data type string:
<Data ss:Type="String">
....
</Data>
I am afraid I have no means to test either.
My issue was the order in which I checked. I could not get the XSLT to apply the formatting or append the apostrophe until I made my when block the first one in my choose block.
<Style ss:ID="xlTextStyle">
<NumberFormat ss:Format="#"/>
</Style>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$xlFieldName='d_Scheme_Task_Code'">
<xsl:attribute name="ss:StyleID">xlTextStyle</xsl:attribute>
<Data>
<xsl:attribute name="ss:Type">String</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</Data>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$xlFieldType='NUMBER'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test...
I'm now getting the column values correctly formatted using the Text format.
I'm trying to remove the first 3 'tokens' of a path-looking string in XSLT 2.0.
For instance, go from D:/FolderA/folderB/folderC/file.ext to folderC/file.ext.
I cant find a quick idea to do it other than using a recursive function I'm struggling to write.
<xsl:variable name="tokenizedPath" select="(tokenize($url,'/'))" />
<xsl:value-of select="yy:restofpath($tokenizedPath,2)" />
where yy:restofpath could be something like:
<xsl:function name="yy:restofpath" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="pathtokens"/>
<xsl:param name="startIndex"/>
<xsl:variable name="length" select="count($pathtokens)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$pathtokens">
<xsl:value-of select="string-join(.,yy:restofpath($pathtokens,),'')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:function>
This is a dumb function that I cant write, I'm confused how to process my tokenized string.
Maybe there is a simpler built-in way to do that?
Given:
<xsl:variable name="tokenizedPath" select="tokenize($url,'/')" />
then you can use:
<xsl:value-of select="string-join($tokenizedPath[position() gt 3], '/')"/>
There is a List with Lookup field. And there is a CQWP web part which uses this list as a Source and uses custom XSL style added to Itemstyle.xsl.
And there is a problem how to render this field as a link?
Field name is 'Category' and
<xsl:value-of select="#Category" />
Returns a string with item's title (like 'Some Category'). But I need a URL or ID. Any suggestions?
Try something like this :
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="#Url" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="#Category" />
</a>
Use disable-output-escaping, for example:
{less than symbol}xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="#Category" /{greater than symbol}
I am processing this XML:
<Brand>
<Brand_Name>BLENDERM</Brand_Name>
<Brand_Code>1103</Brand_Code>
<Groups>
<Group>
<Group_Code>657</Group_Code>
<Parent_Code>0</Parent_Code>
<Group_Level>1</Group_Level>
<Group_Name>Brand Default</Group_Name>
<Product>
<Pip_code>0032359</Pip_code>
<Status>In Use</Status>
Using this XSLT:
<xsl:template match="Product" mode="phase-3">
<xsl:value-of select="document('rx_catmapping.xml')/descendant::mapping[source=substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1)]/target"/>
</xsl:template>
Here is a sample of rx_catmapping.xml:
<Lookup xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<mapping>
<source>a</source>
<target>788</target>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<source>B</source>
<target>789</target>
</mapping>
</Lookup>
So, I am processing the Product element, which is a descendant of Brand. The first letter of Brand/Brand_Name in this case is B, and I am trying to output the value 789 by looking it up in rx_catmapping.xml. This should be really simple but I am completely stumped! I have tried changing the first part of the XPath to refer to document('rx_catmapping.xml')/Lookup/mapping, or document('rx_catmapping.xml')//mapping. I have also tried changing the first half of the comparison to string(source), or to source/text(), but neither of these works either. (The reason for trying this was that using source='B', for example, did seem to work, so I wondered if I was trying to compare two incompatible data types.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Define a key
<xsl:key name="k1" match="mapping" use="source"/>
then use
<xsl:variable name="map-doc" select="document('rx_catmapping.xml')"/>
and
<xsl:variable name="letter" select="substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$map-doc">
<xsl:value-of select="key('k1', $letter)/target"/>
</xsl:for-each>
With XSLT 2.0 you can simplify that to
<xsl:value-of select="key('k1', substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1), $map-doc)"/>
The problem is, I believe, that at the point where you do ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name, the context is the mapping element in the external file. This worked for me
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//Product"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Product">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="substring(ancestor::Brand/Brand_Name,1,1)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="document('file:///c:/temp/rx_catmapping.xml')//mapping[source=$x]/target"/>
</xsl:template>
I have some document URLs stored in a Sharepoint publishing column. When I output the info into a HTML page using:
<xsl:value-of select="#[ColumnName]" />
in ItemStyle.xml, I get [url], [document name] in the page. I would like to display this as a URL can anyone help with the XSL?
You could use:
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(#[ColumnName],',')"/>
or whatever the separator is.
Thanks everyone, in the end I figured out the following based on a post at sguk
<xsl:variable name="Doc">
<xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetTitle">
<xsl:with-param name="Title" select="#DocumentLink1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
with the following a tag code:
<a href="{substring-before($Doc,',')}">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($Doc,',')" />
</a>
or for an image:
<xsl:variable name="Image">
<xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetTitle">
<xsl:with-param name="Title" select="#img" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
with the following img tag:
<img src="{substring-before($Image,',')}" alt="{substring-after($Image,',')}" />
I'm posting the solution back here as this proved ludicrously hard to figure out (probably my fault as I don't really 'get' XSL) but just in case anybody is looking for it, this code outputs images or links from the 'Hyperlink or Picture' column type in Sharepoint.
Another thing you can do is to take a list that shows URLs properly (like a Links list) and use SharePoint Designer to convert it to a DataView WebPart. In there will be the proper XSL for doing the conversion.
The easiest way to do this is with SharePoint designer:
click the field that shows "http://link, description"
a box with an > will appear, click it and you will get a "common xsl:value-of tasks" flyout.
It will have the field name and type, with the type set to "text".
Change the type to "hyperlink" and you will get a box allowing you to format the hyperlink. It will have all the necessary xsl already populated but you can input your own text or remove the link.
This hopefully helps. It shows "Project Site" when the hyperlink is entered and spaces when not.
<!--Project Site--><TD Class="{$IDAAO2UG}">
<xsl:variable name="Field" select="#Project_x0020_Site" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring-before(#Project_x0020_Site, ', ')=''"><xsl:value-of select="substring-after(#Project_x0020_Site, ', ')" /></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><A HREF="{substring-before(#Project_x0020_Site, ', ')}">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring-after(#Project_x0020_Site, ', ')=''"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="substring-before(#Project_x0020_Site, ', ')" /></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="substring-after(#Project_x0020_Site, ', ')" /></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</A></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</TD>
In SharePoint 2013 you have to do things a bit differently because the #Url attribute is is no longer delimited with a comma. There is now a .desc sub property of #Url. Below is an example of how this works hopefully this saves someone else some time.
<xsl:template name="dvt_1.rowview">
<xsl:if test="string-length(#URL) > 0">
<div class="link-item item">
<a title="{#Comments}" target="_blank" href="{#URL}">
<xsl:value-of select="#URL.desc" />
</a>
</div>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
