Hi,

You cannot put the $CONTEXT token value into a XSL variable because tokens are not executed during XSL transformation . If you just want the page name you can get it via

<Datum Type="String" Name="iw-ls-page-name"></Datum> . This datums is generated by livesite . You will have to add the site name to it . for ex -

<xsl:variable name="pageName">/mysite/<xsl:value-of select="//Datum[@Name='iw-ls-page-name']"/></xsl:variable>

If you dont want to hardcode site name then you will have to write a simple Java code which will return complete page name to component result.

Thanks!

Hi,

There are two ways to do this-

1) Write an external which will return the page name or the complete directory vPath as per your wish. Read that value in your xslt.

2) If you check the <External> tag in the final content xml you will see the tag with name "iw-ls-page" (something like similar, my box have some issue so can not mention the actual value), you can use its value.

Hope, this will help you.

Thanks,

Ashish

Would using JavaScript / Jquery work for you? The XSL can insert a JS reference into the rendered HTML and the JS can look at window.location to get the full URL (includes both site name and page name). Though perhaps the JS code would be executing too late in the process for your purposes?

@leoankitfid's response is the best one here. I'd just add that if you need to use it in an href, you can use the $PAGE_LINK token at that point..

<xsl:variable name="thispage" select="//Datum[@Name='iw-ls-page-name']" />

<!-- do whatever with $thispage -->

<a>
  <xsl:attribute name="href">
    <xsl:text>$PAGE_LINK[</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="$thispage" />
    <xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:text>Link to the current page</xsl:text>
</a>

<!-- or in shorthand -->

<a href="$PAGE_LINK[{$thispage}]">Link to current page</a>

I would also note that $PAGE_LINK[.] will always generate a link to the current page, and $PAGE_LINK[] will always generate a link to your home page.
