XSLT code for email

Hi,

We use XSLT for mail notification to be sent from TeamSite.

We have used the below code snippet to generate the link for viewing the comments and versions of the file deployed -

< a title="Properties" class="iw-base-actionlist-link" >
< xsl:attribute name="href" >
< xsl:text>http://< /xsl:text >
< xsl:value-of select="$webHost"/ >
< xsl:text>/iw-cc/properties?vpath=< /xsl:text >
< xsl:value-of select="@vpath"/ >
< /xsl:attribute >
< xsl:text>Properties< /xsl:text >
< /a >

This link has been mentioned in the mail.

How can we get the comments mentioned by the content contributor directly into the mail.

You have to look at the XML that the XSL is processing and figure out the correct XPATH directives to use.

Actually, my requirement is that we need to get the comments into the mail.
This comment is the one that is written by the content contributor when he initiates the wf .
Has anyone captured this comment into mail ?

As ghoti said, you need to get it from the XML. And if it isn't in the XML, you need to put it into the XML before your XSL processes it.

What version of TS are you working with? 7.x comes with sample email templates which print author comments (see publish livesite content workflow to fine those templates).

But author comments are most likely in the xml, what you need to do (if you have no idea where to start), is to point the email task to any xsl email template, then add some xsl code in the xsl template to dump all xml content from root something like <xsl:value-of select="."/> then go thru your xml to find the comment xpath and write the xsl for it.

Thanks for your response.

I am using TS 6.7.1 SP2 version.
I will try using and will update you if it works.

Thanks,

Do you have gone through the PLC Workflow?

You will find the solution in this workflow. Check out the Review Notification Email Task and Other Email Task in this workflow. Also check the XSL mention as "BodyStyleSheet" value.

HTH!!
