Help needed to contruct oxy_path() to populate oxy_popup()

[raybiss]

Hi,

I'm trying to supply the list of items for an oxy_popup() from an xml file relative to my framework extension folder.

This works fine if the xml file is relative to the edited topic.

Code: Select all

ph[info=specification] {
    content : oxy_popup(
            edit, '#text',
            values, oxy_xpath('string-join(doc("commun/listes/specifications_techniques.xml")//div[@id=\'liste_specifications\']/ul/li/text(), ",")'),
            selectionMode, 'single',
            fontInherit, true
    );
    visibility:-oxy-collapse-text;
}


From my understanding of the post below, this should work in Oxygen 19
topic14141.html)

Code: Select all

ph[info=specification] {
    content : oxy_popup(
            edit, '#text',
            values, oxy_xpath('string-join(doc("${frameworkDir(fr_name)}/specifications_techniques.xml")//div[@id=\'liste_specifications\']/ul/li/text(), ",")'),
            selectionMode, 'single',
            fontInherit, true
    );
    visibility:-oxy-collapse-text;
}


Now I'm having a really hard time trying to make it work with oxy_url() as suggested in this post.

I would really like to have those list with the framework extension, along with the css files.

Can it be done in Oxygen 18?

Thank you,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,

Indeed with Oxygen 19 which we plan to release in April-May your second example will probably work as it is.
Until then it needs to be re-written using the oxy_url function, probably something like this:

Code: Select all

ph[info=specification] {
    content : oxy_popup(
            edit, '#text',
            values, oxy_xpath(oxy_concat('string-join(doc("', oxy_url('${framework(fr_name)}'), '/specifications_techniques.xml")//div[@id=\'liste_specifications\']/ul/li/text(), ",")')),
            selectionMode, 'single',
            fontInherit, true
    );
    visibility:-oxy-collapse-text;
}


I used framework instead of "frameworkDir" because "frameworkDir" returns a file path like "c:\path\to\.." but the XPath doc() function requires an URL-like path like "file:/c:/path/to...".
You can debug this by adding some static content before the element like this:

Code: Select all

ph[info=specification]  {
    content : oxy_concat(oxy_url('${framework(fr_name)}'), "/specifications_techniques.xml");
    color:red;
}

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that oXygen 19.0 has been released two days ago and in this version the oxy_xpath() CSS function supports editor variables.

Best wishes,
