Hi Alex Thanks for the info on downloads. I'll leave things as they are and have a look at getting updated to v2 when it's released. I have a question which might not be possible. If you take a look at the sample page http://www.learndev.hull.ac.uk/CB/REOTESTPAGE.html you will notice that I have info boxes down the right hand side of the page and under the menu items on the left. At the moment I am dropping these boxes into editable areas in html form which works great for me but might not for some of the users on campus. Is there any way ether now or in future releases of HyperContent that a user could add as many boxes as the wanted but not have to worry about any html? So for example, for the right hand orange boxes the user might be presented with an option to add 0-3 boxes, then on selection have the editable text appear for each box. Just something that I thought about..... Many thanks Carl -- ************************************ Carl Barrow Web Developer e-Services The University of Hull Cottingham Road Hull HU6 7RX Ext. 6838 ************************************ |

Hi Carl, We do something almost identical to what you are describing on one of our latest sites http://www.columbia.edu/hr/index.html If you navigate across the top-level pages you'll notice that each of them has a slightly different box arrangement. Adam should be able to describe the implementation in more detail, but I believe in XML you could just have a repeating element "right-box" with a single child "html" and an attribute for its title, and in XSL and/or CSS you could set up the actual on-screen positioning. E.g. <!ELEMENT page (html,right-box*)> <!ELEMENT right-box(html)> <!ATTLIST right-box title CDATA #REQUIRED> and call different templates with "/page/html" vs. "/page/right-box/html".

Hi Adam If you have any further pointers on this that would be great. It would really finish of what I've been getting setup here.

Carl, There is no way using the current interface to do the following: " So for example, for the right hand orange boxes the user might be presented with an option to add 0-3 boxes, then on selection have the editable text appear for each box." The standard interface is not that flexible. You could give them the option to add one or more right hand boxes by setting up a dtd. Alex had a good example. >> <!ELEMENT page (html,right-box*)> >> <!ELEMENT right-box(html)> >> <!ATTLIST right-box title CDATA #REQUIRED> You could also set it up like this: >> <!ELEMENT page (html,right-boxes)> >> <!ELEMENT right-boxes(html*)> >> <!ATTLIST right-box title CDATA #REQUIRED> This way every html area in the right-boxes element was its own Information html section. Ahh but the problem here would be having a title for each. Adam On Jan 20, 2005, at 4:05 AM, Carl Barrow wrote: > Hi Adam > > If you have any further pointers on this that would be great.

Well, you could limit it to 3 by explicitly declaring each as a separate element: <!ELEMENT page (html,right-box1*,right-box2*,right-box3*)> It makes for a less appealing DTD, but allows you to keep users from trying to add a hundred boxes to a page . . .

Alex/Adam
Thanks very much. I have a repeating element for the right boxs in
there and it allows the users to add as many as they want at the moment,
I haven't decided weather I'am going to restrict them, although I think
it might be wise.
My DTD for the full page content is :
<!ELEMENT page (rightboxes,bodytext,leftcolumn?)>
<!ELEMENT rightboxes (html*)>
<!ELEMENT bodytext (html)>
<!ELEMENT leftcolumn (html)>
<!ATTLIST bodytext CDATA #REQUIRED>
In my template I have a variable that contains the content of
rightbox/html :
<xsl:variable name="rightboxlen"
select="/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightbox/html" />
I then check if that is not 0 and put the box in there :
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($rightboxlen)=!0">
<xsl:call-template name="rightcolumn"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
The rightcolum template being (taking out html):
<xsl:template name="rightcolumn">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightcolumn/html"/>
<xsl:if test="$filedate">
All works fine....apart from the fact that it puts all the html elements
for rightbox is the same box on the page. I can see why it's doing that
but I can't figure out how to get them in separate boxes.
Can you help with that at all?
Thanks for all you help
Carl

Hi Carl,
The trick here is that your right boxes are stored in html elements,
which are also used in different contexts in the document. XSL
provides the notion of "modes" on templates to allow you to different
things with the same elements in different contexts. I.e.
<xsl:template name="rightcolumn">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightcolumn/html"
mode="right-box"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="html" mode="right-box">
<!-- do whatever creates the visual box -->
<div class="right-box-style">
<!-- this will pass through to the original, non-moded html template
to generate the box contents -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</div>
</xsl:template>

Thanks very much for that, all working fine. I have changed things a little and set a title on a repeating rightcoloumn element : <!ELEMENT page (rightcolumn*,bodytext,leftcolumn?)> <!ELEMENT rightcolumn (html)> <!ELEMENT bodytext (html)> <!ELEMENT leftcolumn (html)> <!ATTLIST rightcolumn title CDATA #REQUIRED> I have tried to get the titles into each box but have been having trouble. It ether displayed the last one in all the boxes or it displayed all the tiles above the boxes. Any Pointers on this?

Carl, Could you send along the XSL you're applying to this XML? That will make it easier to understand what might be going wrong.

Yeah sure, here’s the basics from the template. If you want my full template sending over then I can do that. <!-- Main page template--> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length($rightboxlen)!=0"> <xsl:call-template name="rightcolumn"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <!--orange box text--> <xsl:template name="rightcolumn"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightcolumn/html mode="right-box"/> </xsl:template> <!--orange box title--> <xsl:call-template name="rightcolumntitle"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightcolumn/@title mode="right-box-title"/> </xsl:template> <!--orange box mode--> <xsl:template match="html" mode="right-box"> <xsl:call-template name="rightcolumntitle"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> </xsl:template> <!--orange box title mode--> <xsl:template match="html" mode="right-box-title"> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> </xsl:template> Thanks Carl Alex Vigdor wrote: > Carl, > Could you send along the XSL you're applying to this XML?

Hi Carl, Your main problem is that you're jumping out of context in the = title =20 template: this should fix it: <!--orange box title--> <xsl:template name=3D"rightcolumntitle"/> <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"@title mode=3D"right-box-title"/> </xsl:template> =09 Since each right-box is now wrapped in a "rightcolumn" element, I don't =20= think the modes are necessary any longer: you can apply the box styling =20= at the level of the rightcolumn element rather than the html element, =20= and wind up with simpler XSL: <!-- Main page template--> <xsl:template match=3D"/"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=3D"string-length($rightboxlen)!=3D0"> <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightcolumn"/>= </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <!--orange box text--> <xsl:template match=3D"rightcolumn"> <div class=3D"right-box"> <div class=3D"right-box-title"> <xsl:value-of select=3D"@title"/>=09 </div> <div class=3D"right-box-body"> <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"html"/> </div> </div> </xsl:template> -Alex On Jan 26, 2005, at 4:37 AM, Carl Barrow wrote: > Yeah sure, here=92s the basics from the template.
