Hi folks,
Might be getting too fancy here, but is there a way I can select footer text at build time when using Publishing templates?
Instead of hardcoding footer text could I inject it by selecting a parameter at build time?
Something like:
Edit a transformation scenario
1. Select a scenario
2. Select a security level, pick from Public, Internal only, Confidential.
3. Let'er rip.

Hello Jeff,
Sure you can, for example with the following CSS:
Code: Select all
/* args.css.param.security-level */
:root[security-level='public'] {
string-set: security-level "Public";
}
:root[security-level='internal'] {
string-set: security-level "Internal only";
}
:root[security-level='confidential'] {
string-set: security-level "Confidential";
}
@page chapter:first:left, chapter:first:right , chapter:left, chapter:right{
@bottom-center {
content: string(security-level);
}
}
And then by declaring the 'args.css.param.security-level' in the publishing template file:
Code: Select all
<parameters>
<parameter name="args.css.param.security-level" value="confidential"/>
</parameters>
Regards,
Julien

Another solution is to use an XPath expression with the value to be displayed in the PDF:
Code: Select all
<bookmeta>
<data name="security-level" value="Internal only"/>
</bookmeta>
In this case the CSS rule should be the following:
Code: Select all
:root {
string-set: security-level oxy_xpath("//*[contains(@class, 'bookmap/bookmeta')]//*[contains(@class, 'topic/data')][@name='security-level']/@value");
}
@page chapter:first:left, chapter:first:right , chapter:left, chapter:right{
@bottom-center {
content: string(security-level);
}
}
Regards,
Julien
