Rss And Xslt


Anonymous

Recommended Posts

I hope I make sense, because my English isn’t that good. But here I go: I have made an (example) xml rss feed and styled it with xslt. My rss feed have 16 feeds, now I want to limit my view on the feeds. I only want to see 5 feeds per page. And if there are more then 5 feeds I want to see a previous/next button(link) to navigate. I have searched google and some other forums and haven’t’ found anything useful. And I really want to know how I can accomplish that, so I hope you can give me some help on this?I know you can limit the nodes(feeds) with an if/when statement, but how to see the other nodes on a different page ?!Btw I just started with xml and xslt, so plz forgive me for my ignorance… :xThe code:

I'm sorry but I tried, I couldn't get this even working with rss/channel as root. But just to make it easy for me, I removed rss/channel and made root as root node. Then your nice work worked…half…I saw only 5 items and I saw the links to switch to a different page. But when I click on those links, it doesn't go to the right page. The url change in the url bar, but it won’t change the page. It stays on the first page.I really don't know how I can fix this :)

You're using this on the client side. The default URL in localLinkBefore ("?n=") is meant to be used on the server side. If you have PHP or ASP.NET, there are also samples of them in the same topic.As for the client side, there's a need for a special function that will reexecute the transformation with new parameters. There's actually a sample of that too in this same topic, later on. Further, you'll notice you actually need to rename "pagenumber" to "pageNumber" for it to work, but still - it works.Include the mentioned page.js in the XSLT as described, then change localLinkBefore and localLinkAfter to:

<xsl:param name="localLinkBefore" select="'java script:changePage('"/><xsl:param name="localLinkAfter" select="');'"/>

(remove the space between "java" and "script" though... that space is only placed by the forum - it shouldn't be there)It should then all work.And to make it work with RSS, you only need to adjust the node in which your pagedElement is. This is done in three places:

<xsl:param name="totalRecords" select="count(/*/channel/*[name()=$pagedElement])"/>

			<!--Change this path to match the place where your content truly is. Change the one at the for-each as well.-->			<xsl:when test="channel/*[name()=$pagedElement]">

and (as mentioned in the comment above)

<xsl:for-each select="channel/*...

I only wanted to use this with XSLT, so no php or something

So it cant be XSLT only?! I will try it with the js file tnx!! But if it can be done with XSLT only would be nice :)

XSLT isn't a dynamic language. It takes one XML and turns it into another XML. It then stops. By the time you've generated the "n" page, XSLT is over. To move to another page, you need to reexecute the transformation, but display another page instead. Without a server side language, the only way to do so is JavaScript.If you wanted to do that with PHP and MySQL instead, you'd actually follow the same process - PHP can only generate one page at a time. The user needs to click the link to reactivate PHP, which would then generate a new page.
