XSL prob.

[Thomas]

Hi

I have an XSL stylesheet:

<xsl:for-each select="TRACKS/TRACK">
<tr class="TDL">
<td width="90%"><xs l:number value="position ()" format="1" /> -
<xsl:value-of select="TRACKTI TLE"/></td>
<td width="10%" align="center"> <a href="{TRACKURL }"
target="_blank" >More info!</a></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
I wan't to make every second <tr class> aligned to TDU, which I have in the
CSS. How is this possible?

Regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Try one of the following (all do the same - in a slightly different way)...

<xsl:for-each select="TRACKS/TRACK">
<tr class="TDL">
<xsl:if test="position( ) mod 2 = 0">
<xsl:attribut e name="class">TD U</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<td width="90%">
<xsl:number value="position ()" format="1" /> -
<xsl:value-of select="TRACKTI TLE"/>
</td>
<td width="10%" align="center">
<a href="{TRACKURL }" target="_blank" >More info!</a>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each select="TRACKS/TRACK">
<tr>
<xsl:attribut e name="class">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position( ) mod 2 = 1">
<xsl:text>TDL </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwis e>
<xsl:text>TDU </xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
<td width="90%">
<xsl:number value="position ()" format="1" /> -
<xsl:value-of select="TRACKTI TLE"/>
</td>
<td width="10%" align="center">
<a href="{TRACKURL }" target="_blank" >More info!</a>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each select="TRACKS/TRACK">
<tr class="{substri ng('TDUTDL',((p osition() mod 2) * 3) + 1,3)}">
<td width="90%">
<xsl:number value="position ()" format="1" /> -
<xsl:value-of select="TRACKTI TLE"/>
</td>
<td width="10%" align="center">
<a href="{TRACKURL }" target="_blank" >More info!</a>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

Hope this helps

Hi

I have another prob. Is it possible to convert a unix timestamp to a
readable date with XSL?

Kenneth

[Dimitre Novatchev]

Can you give an example of a "Unix timestamp" and a "readable date"?

Unix timestamp: 875996580
Readable converted date/time: 1997-10-04 22:23:00'

Unix timestamp: 875996580
Readable converted date/time: 1997-10-04 22:23:00'

And what's its meaning (e.g. number of seconds after some date)?

It would be a lot easier if they pull the data out of the database as a
readable date instead of unix timestamp, but they don't. :(

Yes, because XSLT is Turing complete. However, you'll have to roll
your own conversion because there's neither an XSLT nor XPath function
that'll do the job for you.

Since a UNIX timestamp is the number of seconds since midnight, 1st
January 1970, it would be an "easy" addition of seconds to a date. But
XSL is not capable of that, AFAICS.

What you could do - write a web page accepting a timestamp as GET
parameter and let it return a small XML file to your XSL processor.

Given a return XML like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<formatted>19 97-10-04 22:23:00</formatted>

then I would think of:
<xsl:value-of
select="documen t(concat('http://localhost/convert.php&amp ;timestamp=',
$timestamp))/formatted" />

This would return the contents of the XML document's "formatted"
element, or what ever you'd like to call it.
PHP does contain date and time functions capable of converting
timestamps, so the implementation on the PHP side should be quite
straightforward .

You could even improve performance by handing all timestamps in your
document over to PHP simultaneously, as a seperated list of values
(build that by recursive call-template's). So you will need to use
document() only once per processed XML file.

just an idea,

Martin
