how to use $MODEL in xsl for each loop

Ramanuj

Hi

I have a requirement that asks me to enter description using a textArea. tinyMCE is configured for this textArea and this textArea is inside a replicant container.

Now i want to display short description in a .page file using a component.

In my appeance xml I use



to start the replicant loop

i use

to retrieve the content of short description. it is doing that alright, just that tinyMCE stores the content in DCR inside a

tag. this in the DCR
will be stored as <p>
thus, when we render the short description comment on .page, we get

displayed on it.

a possible solution is to use $MODEL{xpath}

but, the same is not working within xsl:for each loop.







works for me, but displays unwanted

tags.



$MODEL{shortdescription}



does not render short description on page.

Please let me know how do we render short description using $MODEL{}

Also, please suggest if there is another way of doing the same

I'm just starting with SitePublisher, but I believe you may be mixing component types.

In the TeamSite SitePublisher Developer Guide (version 7.2) on page 72 the use of the $MODEL{xpath} token is described in the "Tokens for HTML components."

Then in the bullets near the bottom of page 74 it states that HTML components don't support ... Looping...

The implies that $MODEL and Looping are exclusive and may not be used in the same component.

You will need a loop something like this (your code will vary)





The trick is "what goes in the for-each and value-of selects. Preview mode of the component will help. Look at the frame in the lower left called Content XML to get the exact xpath.
