So I have my output that I used the merge task to put into ccnet.
Now what I need to do is come up with my own custom xsl and output the data.
Any ideas on where there maybe a tutorial on how to do this?
For example what plugin do I need to use? Can I create my own? What does action name do?
<xslReportBuildPlugin description="MSBuild Output" actionName="MSBuildOutputBuildPlugin" xslFileName="xsl\msbuild.xsl" />
in your cruise control folder:
CruiseControl.NET\webdashboard\xsl
Copy any existing xsl (preferably one that is close to what you already want or in a format you like). you could start an xsl file from scratch also.
edit it to what you want it to be with your own file name.
I copied the msbuild.xsl to BMsBuild.xsl and made my changes.
then in dashboard.config
<xslReportBuildPlugin description="BBuildReport" actionName="BBuildReport" xslFileName="xsl\Bmsbuild.xsl"></xslReportBuildPlugin>
Description: what title you want it to have on the webdashboard link
actionName: a unique name that will be used to generate a URL for that xsl/report
xslFileName: the path to the xsl usually just xsl[your xsl file name].xsl
That's the easiest way. The file is nearly entirely xsl so there's not really anything special you need to do or know. Except that the xsl is going to target the merged xml file from whatever you have in the publishers xml logger tag in your ccnet.config
<publishers>

<xmllogger logDir="D:\Projects\TFS\Main\BuildProcess\logs\ServiceBuilds" />
</publishers>

currently when working with mpxj library, generated task xml will have following attributes
<Task>
<UID>0</UID>
<ID>0</ID>
<Name>Naruto Uzumaki</Name>
<Active>1</Active>
<Manual>0</Manual>
......
......
</Task>
I do not want Active and Manual tags present in the generated xml, is there any way to achieve this? Kindly help.
Thanks in Advance.
I'm not sure of MS Project's behaviour if these values are removed entirely... if it would give you the defaults you are expecting when it reads the file. On that basis it is not something you can change in MPXJ itself.
However, one simple way to achieve what you want would be to apply an XSL transformation to the generated XML to remove the elements you don't want. The answer to this StackOverflow question provides an example of how this could be done.
Assuming you are using Java and you are writing to a stream you can probably use one of the mechanisms highlighted in this StackOverflow question to take the output directly from MPXJ and pass it through an XSL transformation.
I don't know but is there any possible way to keep comments at a single place if it is repetitive, in visual studio editor?
Or something like to create link in comments and if we click on that link and it jumps to bunch of commented code, so we can just write the link where it is needed to write that bunch of code. So no repetitive comments are written.
The C# compiler allows you to reference an external XML file which contains the actual comments for a method. To do this you use an <include> element in the XML doc comment
/// <include file='file.doc' path='Parent/Child[#name="member"]/*' />
The contents of file.doc need to be an XML file and the comment for that method be at the XML path described in the path element
<Parent>
<Child name="member">
<summary>The actual comment</summary>
</Child>
</Parent>
More information is available here
I do not know if Visual Studio will allow you to click and follow through to the documentation. But the correct summary will be emitted in the file XML doc file for the assembly
We use cruisecontrol for our daily automatic tests. We use the JUnit framework. For every case, we have an output file other than the log file of the junit case. We add the output files to the artifact directory of the project when the build completes. We use the built-in XSL file "unittests.xsl" to publish the email results.
Recently, I want to modify the xsl file "unittests.xsl" to add a hyperlink to the output file for every case. Here is what I tried at the very beginning:
<td class="unittests-data" width="300">
<xsl:value-of select="..//#name"/>
</td>
The problem here is, the url of the output file can work when opening the result page using the web browser; but the url is incorrect in the result mail. In the mail, the url is concated as:
http://localhost:18080/cruisecontrol/buildresults/artifacts/...
But what I want is:
http://localhost:18080/cruisecontrol/artifacts/...
So I am thinking of another way to solve this. My thought was to output a property of the root url to the project logs so that the XSL file can get its value like this:
<xsl:variable name="urlroot" select="/cruisecontrol/info/property[#name='urlroot']/#value"/>
<td class="unittests-data" width="300">
<xsl:value-of select="..//#name"/>
</td>
The problem here is, the properties of the project (defined in config.xml) are not outputed to the project logs. So that I can not do it this way.
Is there any other way to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
Create a xml file to hold the properties you need to have in the CC publishing phase
Fill out the xml file with the properties during the build
Copy the file to the CC merge directory at the end of the build
Target the property values in the xsl transformer
If you echo the properties to the CC log during the build then they end up in an unpredictable location in the CC log. A reliable way is to create an xml file specifically for the stuff you need and merge it into the log at the end. Now you may reliably target the values in the xsl.
You can simply pass the properties to some antbuilde and echo them. Then when you merge your log files the property values will be in it.
I am using cruise control which generated a particular output
which is in text file format.So with the help of nant i am copying
this file to another .xml of the same name in some other folder
structure and i am using the file merge task which merges this output
with my log files.I am also able to see this output merged in my
webdashboard.Now i want this same output i.e .xml to be attached in
may mail too.So is there anyway i can get this done??At present i dont
get anything attached in my mail i.e no errors or warnings attached.
Thanks and regards

From what you say, i think you need to modify your ccnet.exe.config This contains the section (near the top by default called xslFiles which specify what XSL is used to transform the log for the email publisher.
All you should need to do is add another line with the path to whatever your translation is:
<xslFiles>
<file name="xsl\header.xsl"/>
<file name="xsl\compile.xsl"/>
<file name="xsl\modifications.xsl"/>
<file name="xsl\BuildSummary.xsl" />
<file name="xsl\your_xsl_file_path.xsl" /> <!--Here-->
</xslFiles>
Right now I have a visual studio project which contains a custom content type that I made. It also contains all the necessary files for making a sharepoint solution (wsp) file and a script to generate this.
Now, I would like to do 2 things.
First, I'd like to create a custom display form for the content type and include it in my solution so that it is automatically deployed when I deploy my solution. How do I include this in my solution and make my content type use it?
Secondly, you can query this type with the CQWP. I've thought about exporting it, adding more common view fields, and then modifying the XSL that is used to render it. How do I include this into my solution so that it is also deployed. I know i can export the CQWP webpart once it's all setup and include it in my project as a feature. But what abuot the XSL?
Looking forward to see your suggestions, cheers.
Did as described in the first answer. Worked like a charm.
Use STSDev to create the solution package.
That should help with creating the WSP. The custom form, CQWP webpart and the .xls file should also be deployable within the project.
To deploy the xslt, your feature will have an
<ElementManifest Location="mywebpartManifest.xml">
This then points to a files such as
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Yourfile.xslt" Url="Style Library" Path="" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Url="yourfile.xslt" Type="GhostableInLibrary" />
</Module>
</Elements>
for the webpart:
<Module Name="myWebpart" List="113" Url="_catalogs/wp" RootWebOnly="FALSE">
<File Url="myWebpart.webpart" Type="GhostableInLibrary" />
</Module>
Now that file will need to be contained in the solution manifest.xml. This is done automatically from the STSDev project.
e.g.
<Resources>
<Resource Location="SimpleFeature\Feature.xml"/>
The actual schemas are:
Site
Solution
Feature
and a link to someone else with the issue
But where in the folder structure do you deploy the form and the .xsl to?
I have followed your guide and although it deploys the xslt to the feature in 12 Hive it does not place it in the correct style library folder
You need to deactivate / reactivate the feature. This will give you any error messages that are associated with copying the file over.
