RE: [xsl] Parameters set by user

["Technik" <technik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jeni,

never seen such a clear-cut, suitable-for-a-dummy-like-me explanation such
as yours...
And it makes me curious about one other aspect:

Is it possible, proceeding according to your 2nd alternative (below), to
pass more than one value for one and the same parameter?

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

...

Cocoon can be set up to pass either particular parameters or all
request parameters into the stylesheet. To do either, you need to set
up the sitemap so that parameters are passed into the particular
transformation.

For example, you could have something like:

...

  <map:match pattern="search">
    <map:generate src="list.xml" />
    <map:transform src="list.xsl">
      <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true" />
    </map:transform>
    <map:serialize />
  </map:match>

which means that when the URL has request parameters, for example:

  .../search?search=a

then the request parameters are passed in as parameters to the
stylesheet as well. So the above URL would pass in the value "a" as
the value of the parameter $search.

...

Cheers,

Jeni
