I am having an issue with the following, I need the ID to be of each promotiom:
Here is my XML:
<Promotions>
<Promotion>
<Category>Arts & Entertainment</Category>
<Client>Client 1</Client>
<ID>2</ID>
<Title>Get your Free 2</Title>
</Promotion>
<Promotion>
<Category>Client 1</Category>
<Client>Artsquest</Client>
<ID>4</ID>
<Title>Get your Free 4</Title>
</Promotion>
<Promotion>
<Category>Client 1</Category>
<Client>Artsquest</Client>
<ID>5</ID>
<Title>Get your Free 5</Title>
</Promotion>
<Promotion>
<Category>Community & Neighborhood</Category>
<Client>Client 2</Client>
<ID>1</ID>
<Title>Get your Free 1</Title>
</Promotion>
<Promotion>
<Category>Education</Category>
<Client>Client 3</Client>
<ID>3</ID>
<Title>Get Your Free 3</Title>
</Promotion>
<Promotion>
<Category>Home & Garden</Category>
<Client>Client 4</Client>
<ID>6</ID>
<Title>Get your Free 6</Title>
</Promotion>
</Promotions>
Here is my XSLT file:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:asp="remove">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />
<xsl:key name="categories" match="Category" use="." />
<xsl:key name="client" match="Client" use="." />
<xsl:key name="title" match="Title" use="." />
<xsl:template match="/">
<ul id="red" class="treeview-red">
<xsl:for-each select="/Promotions/Promotion/Category[
generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('categories', .)[1])
]">
<li>
<span>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</span>
<ul>
<xsl:call-template name="category-client">
<xsl:with-param name="category" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</ul>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="category-client">
<xsl:param name="category" />
<xsl:for-each select="/Promotions/Promotion[Category=$category]/Client[
generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('client', .)[1])
]">
<li>
<span>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</span>
<ul>
<xsl:call-template name="category-client-title">
<xsl:with-param name="category" select="$category"/>
<xsl:with-param name="client" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</ul>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="category-client-title">
<xsl:param name="category" />
<xsl:param name="client" />
<xsl:for-each select="/Promotions/Promotion[Category=$category]/Title[
generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('title', .)[1])
]">
<li>
<span>
<asp:LinkButton ID ="{/Promotions/Promotion[Category=$category]/ID}" onclick="LinkClicked">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</asp:LinkButton>
</span>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
My issue is that the ID outputted if the client has multiple promotions in a category, I only get the first ID and it repeats for each, what is the best way to change this so that the ID matches the row the promotion title is coming from?
here is the output I am speaking of,I am so not grasping xsl...
<ul id="red" class="treeview-red" xmlns:asp="remove">
<li><span>Arts & Entertainment</span><ul>
<li><span>Client 1</span><ul>
<li><span><asp:LinkButton ID="2" onclick="LinkClicked">Get your Free 2</asp:LinkButton></span></li>
<li><span><asp:LinkButton ID="2" onclick="LinkClicked">Get your Free 4</asp:LinkButton></span></li>
<li><span><asp:LinkButton ID="2" onclick="LinkClicked">Get your Free 5</asp:LinkButton></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Community & Neighborhood</span><ul>
<li><span>Client 2</span><ul>
<li><span><asp:LinkButton ID="1" onclick="LinkClicked">Get your Free 1</asp:LinkButton></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Education</span><ul>
<li><span>Client 3</span><ul>
<li><span><asp:LinkButton ID="3" onclick="LinkClicked">Get Your Free 3</asp:LinkButton></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Home & Garden</span><ul>
<li><span>Client 4</span><ul>
<li><span><asp:LinkButton ID="6" onclick="LinkClicked">Get your Free 6</asp:LinkButton></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Try something like
position()=1
in your XSLT to select the first occurrence.Just change
to
The correct XPath in this situation is:
Since you are in
<Title>
context within the<xsl:for-each>
, you must go up one level and fetch the<ID>
from there. Your tryfetches all
<Promotion>
s of a certain category and takes the first ID from the bunch, which is the same every time, naturally.
