Re: overriding CForms xslt and css?

[Simone Gianni]

Hi Fernando, I usually override templates i need to customize in a different XSL that includes the default ones. For example, if I want to be able to specify a fi:styling/@note attribute to show a small note under a field label, i can do it this way : myproject-forms-styling.xsl <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"                 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"                 xmlns:fi="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#instance"                 xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"                                xmlns:bu="http://apache.org/cocoon/browser-update/1.0"                 exclude-result-prefixes="fi">   <xsl:include href="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/resources/forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl">"resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/resources/forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl"/>   <!-- Location of the resources directory, where JS libs and icons are stored -->   <xsl:param name="resources-uri"/>   <xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="label">     <!-- Copy the fi:* mode label template from forms-field-styling.xsl -->     <xsl:param name="id"/>     <xsl:variable name="resolvedId">       <xsl:choose>         <xsl:when test="$id != ''"><xsl:value-of select="$id"/></xsl:when>         <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="concat(@id, ':input')"/></xsl:otherwise>       </xsl:choose>     </xsl:variable>     <label for="" title="{fi:hint}">       <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="css"/>       <xsl:copy-of select="fi:label/node()"/>     </label>     <!-- Add my own part -->     <xsl:if test="(string(fi:styling/@note) != '') and string(@state) != 'output'">       <br/>       <i><i18n:text><xsl:value-of select="fi:styling/@note"/></i18n:text></i>     </xsl:if>     <!-- End of my part -->   </xsl:template> If could even be easier this way : <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"                 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"                 xmlns:fi="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#instance"                 xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"                                xmlns:bu="http://apache.org/cocoon/browser-update/1.0"                 exclude-result-prefixes="fi">   <xsl:import href="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/resources/forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl">"resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/resources/forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl"/>   <!-- Location of the resources directory, where JS libs and icons are stored -->   <xsl:param name="resources-uri"/>   <xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="label">     <xsl:apply-imports/>     <!-- Add my own part -->     <xsl:if test="(string(fi:styling/@note) != '') and string(@state) != 'output'">       <br/>       <i><i18n:text><xsl:value-of select="fi:styling/@note"/></i18n:text></i>     </xsl:if>     <!-- End of my part -->   </xsl:template> But unfortunately this often does not work as expected, because default cocoon XSLs are designed to be included and not imported in another stylesheet. Also, mind priorities. If your template is not called when transforming, it could be because of XSL priorities, in that case add priority="20" to your templates to force them to be at highest priority, for example :   <xsl:template match="fi:*" mode="label" priority="20">    ....

There is this {$resources-uri} everywhere.   Thanks -- Simone Gianni
