How to fetch current page locale in fixed-layout.page.xsl.

Hello Experts,

We have a requirement where we want to disable custom meta tags for en_US locale and show those for all the other locales.

We have written a code in fixed-layout.page.xsl to show these custom meta tags for page. Now we are trying to add a condition for locale here so that we can show these only when locale != en_Us.

We tried different things to get the locale but in vein. Also observed that vpath has been set in page scope and it is showing complete vpath for the page. But this is working only in preview , while testing it on runtime server it is not setting any vpath in the page scope.

Any information on this would be much helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Well you can use $CONTEXT{locale} to print out the value, but that won't evaluate until AFTER the xsl processing so you can't execute XSL logic against it. That said, I'm not sure your metadata really belongs in the XSL file. Depending on your version of TeamSite, you should try using the "additional metadata" on your LiveSite site (or pages). If you used OOTB localization, then this is already split by locale.

Alternatively, you could use a precontroller to inject that content into the <head>.

Also, vpath doesn't make any sense in any context outside of TeamSite. Were you trying to match against that path to determine locale? $CONTEXT{site.name} might get you that (or $CONTEXT{site.branchName}), but then you can get to the actual locale in the same way.

Hi,

I tried using $CONTEXT{site.name} but it does not solve my purpose as i can not use it in fixed-page-layout.xsl to test the condition.

Can we have more than one fixed-page-layout.xsl? If so I can create a separate one for en_US locale and it would resolve my issue.

Also we already have a precontroller .. so is there any way to sccess custom meta tags in precontroller?

If any one of these 2 options work then it would help us.

Note- We use TeamSite version 7.4.1

Thanks,

Sneha

No, you can't have more than one fixed layout. It's just a limitation of the platform.

With your precontroller, I'm not sure if you can manipulate metatags per se, but you can inject *additional* markup (including <meta> tags) into the header via

String stringOfNewHtml = "<meta name=\"meow\" value=\"bazinga\" />";

context.getPageScopeData().put(RuntimePage.PAGESCOPE_HEAD_INJECTION, stringOfNewHtml);

You can use site precontroller to read page locale and inject pagescope data for locale as [key and value].

This can be used in fixed-layout.xsl as $page_scope[key] and required conditions can be placed on the same.
