[oXygen-user] How to associate file relative to project with transformation scenario

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

If the files that you distribute are located in the folder of the 
project file or in subfolders of this folder the associations between 
scenarios and transformed files are saved with relative paths. If you 
saved the scenarios at project level you can look at the 
scenario.associations entry.

I think you have ${currentFileURL} in the XSL URL field of the scenario 
associated with an XSLT stylesheet and this saves the URL of the 
stylesheet in the scenario, that is the absolute path on your computer. 
You should use a variable like ${pdu} (project directory as URL) because 
it is not expanded when the scenario is saved which means you can 
distribute the same structure of files as on your computer. It does not 
matter in what base directory the users will place the project file and 
the transformed files on their computers because the variable is 
expanded when the scenario is executed.


Regards,
Sorin
