AW: AW: [xsl] Restraining specific words from an elementtodisplay

Joseph,

please insert *one* of the following debug statements between the
xsl:variable declaration of getHoldings and the xsl:if statement:

<xsl:value-of select="concat ('Debug: ###', $getHoldings, '###')"/>

<xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="concat ('Debug: ###', $getHoldings, '###')"/></xsl:message>

<xsl:comment><xsl:value-of select="concat ('Debug: ###', $getHoldings, '###')"/></xsl:comment>


I bet the variable $getHoldings doesn't contain the strings "LIBWEBSITE --"
or "JOURNALS --".
These strings must be inserted by the DisplayContent template, which you
didn't include in your mails. I guess, this template ignores (more or less)
the getHoldings parameter and instead displays the stuff found in the
context node (the parent of the MR870's).
What really confuses me is that the strings "North Campus Library" and
"South Campus Library" appear in your output...?!? Are these inserted
from some other template in your stylesheet?


Please post the following:
-  the DisplayContent template
-  the template which calls the Holdings template
-  a longer snippet of your XML containing the parent of the MR870's.


Regards,
Markus

Hi there, good to hear from you again.

The whole XML fragment is build on one record.  It's one of the
journals we have but located at different physical location (South and
North Library).  

Here's the exact CURRENT output: (all in one line)
North Campus Library NC-JOURNAL -- Vol 71-86 1993-2000 Not owned:
71n18(1993) Online access; years vary. LIBWEBSITE -- Online access;
years vary. South Campus Library JOURNALS -- Vol 1- 1958- Not Owned:
84n5c(1999) 

Here's the DESIRED output: (in this exact order preferrably)
South Campus Library Vol 1- 1958- Not Owned: 84n5c(1999) 
North Campus Library Vol 71-86 1993-2000 Not owned: 71n18(1993) 
Online access; years vary. (Note: I want it only appear only once)

I've forgotten to mentioned that we do not want to display "NC-JOURNAL
--" as well.  You were right, Markus, I did modify the the stylesheet
fragment before posting them but what I edited shouldn't have any effect
on the output.  Anyway, here's the exact code I copied from my
stylesheet.

<!--
####################################################################################################
-->
<xsl:template name="Holdings">
	<xsl:variable name="getHoldings">
		<xsl:for-each select="MR870/MR870c[text()!='ONLINELIB'
and text()!='JOURNALS --' and text()!='LIBWEBSITE --'] |
MR870/MR870a[text()!='ONLINELIB']">
			<xsl:choose>
					<xsl:when
test="contains(.,'SOUTHLIB')">
						<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(.,'SOUTHLIB')"/>South Campus Library
						<xsl:value-of
select="substring-after(.,'SOUTHLIB')"/>
					</xsl:when>	
					<xsl:when
test="contains(.,'NORTHLIB')">
						<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(.,'NORTHLIB')"/>North Campus Library
						<xsl:value-of
select="substring-after(.,'NORTHLIB')"/>
					</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					<xsl:value-of
select="text()"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
				</xsl:otherwise>
				</xsl:choose>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:variable>

	<xsl:if test="$getHoldings != ''">
		<xsl:call-template name="DisplayContent">
			<xsl:with-param name="label"
select="'Option(s)'"/>
			<xsl:with-param name="content"
select="$getHoldings"/>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Thanks!

Hello Joseph,

it's hard to see a logical structure in the XML file. Is every MR870a
"starting"
a new record? Or does your whole XML fragment build one record?
How should the output (logically) look like?

Anyway, the for-each loop
<xsl:for-each select="MR870/MR870c[text()!='ONLINELIB'
and text()!='JOURNALS --' and text()!='LIBWEBSITE --'] |
      MR870/MR870a[text()!='ONLINELIB']">
collects the text content of some MR870c and MR870a elements.

It seems to me that the DisplayContent template that you call would
then output these text contents without any structure, more or less in
a single line. Is that what you want?

Apart from that, I can't see why "JOURNAL --" and "LIBWEBSITE --"
appear in your output...
(Maybe you modified the stylesheet fragment prior posting.)


Regards,
Markus

Here's the XML input:

- <MR870>
  <MR870a>NORTHLIB</MR870a> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Location</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>NC-JOURNAL --</MR870c> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Textual holdings</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>Vol 71-86 1993-2000 Not owned: 71n18(1993)</MR870c> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870a>ONLINELIB</MR870a> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Textual holdings</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>Online access; years vary.</MR870c> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870a>ONLINELIB</MR870a> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Location</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>LIBWEBSITE --</MR870c> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Textual holdings</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>Online access; years vary.</MR870c> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870a>SOUTHLIB</MR870a> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Location</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>JOURNALS --</MR870c> 
  </MR870>
- <MR870>
  <MR870b>Textual holdings</MR870b> 
  <MR870c>Vol 1- 1958- Not Owned: 84n5c(1999)</MR870c> 
  </MR870>

XSL code:

<xsl:template name="Holdings">
	<xsl:variable name="getHoldings">
		<xsl:for-each select="MR870/MR870c[text()!='ONLINELIB'
and text()!='JOURNALS --' and text()!='LIBWEBSITE --'] |
MR870/MR870a[text()!='ONLINELIB']">
			    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:variable>

	<xsl:if test="$getHoldings != ''">
		<xsl:call-template name="DisplayContent">
			<xsl:with-param name="label"
select="'Option(s)'"/>
			<xsl:with-param name="content"
select="$getHoldings"/>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

I'm able to NOT display "ONLINELIB" but not "JOURNAL --" and
"LIBWEBSITE --"

Thanks!

JT

Ok Joseph,
try to post both XML doc and the full XSLT stylesheet,
then we'll be able to analyze it in the whole. And
also clarify what you mean by "want to remove": do you
want to copy all the stuff into output except the
elements having the specified content?

Regards,
Armen
