Hi,

This helps me save the trail variable. Now I have to somehow acces the fourth or fifth element of the trail. Is there a way to do that?

Also, this is just a workaround to access the collection name. Is there another way that you would suggest to get to a collection name or community name from xsl file?

There is, it's just one more step. Look at this item here, on the demo server: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/93
Add ?XML to look at the XML, like you did for the trail: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/93?XML
Then look at this section here:

<referenceSet
      id="aspect.artifactbrowser.ItemViewer.referenceSet.collection-viewer"
      type="summaryView" n="collection-viewer">

          <reference repositoryID="10673" type="DSpace Item"
      url="">

              <referenceSet type="itemPageSummaryList"
      rend="hierarchy">

                  <reference repositoryID="10673" type="DSpace
      Collection" url=""/>

              </referenceSet>

          </reference>

      </referenceSet>

The hierarchy tells you which collection this item is in. It gives you the link to the collection's mets.xml. So have a look at that one http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui//metadata/handle/10673/22/mets.xml and you will see the title here:
<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="title">The scramble for and Partition of Africa</dim:field>

Now, to put this all together -- in the same spot where you are assigning the trail to a variable, instead do this:
obtain the URL of the collection's mets.xml file from the snippet above
load that mets file via the XSL document function (http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/func_document.asp)
from the loaded document, select the title metadata (and/or whatever else you want, eg identifier for the link).

then assign _that_ to a variable and pass it into item-view.xsl

I hope this makes sense, I don't have time to go into more detail right now, sorry.

cheers,
Andrea
