How to get name of user-selected DCR from a SP component?

Pardon me if my question has already been answered. I tried searching for "xsl dcr name," but DevNet's stupid Search function omitted all of those words.

I am new to SitePublisher and LiveSite. I can't figure out how to get a hold of the name of the Data Content Record (DCR) the user selected from a component (via DCR Datum). Do you know how I can do that? I tried all of the following, but none of them worked:

... select="/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name='My DCR']/DCR/Value"
... select="/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name=My DCR']/DCR/Value/text()"
... select="/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name='My DCR']/DCR/text()"

I suppose I could stuff the DCR name inside each DCR, as a hidden field, but I hope I don't have to stoop so low.

I'm using TS/SP 7.2.1.

Thanks much,

S.

A DCR is simply an XML file created by forms publisher. Forms publisher uses templates (DCTs) to define how the xml should be created.

Check you DCR xml for your element or attribute if you are unsure of what is being generated. It may be you need to add an to the DCT.

Did you even read the question. I am certain fiquebem appreciates the lessons on DCRs, however he has been using TS since the 5.X timeframe so it was unneed.

What he asked for is a way in the XSL to know the name of the DCR. used as input. I am certain he wants to adjust output based on that name.

Anyone figure this out? I have a similar need: to insert the vpath of DCR selected by the user into component output.

I could change my datum from DCR to File but I'd prefer not to.

Any pointers are helpful.

Thanks,

We can display Metadata of DCR in LS component using::

<xsl:value-of select ="metadata/field[@name='Teamsite/Metadata/customtaggedfieldName']" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

so try below::

<xsl:value-of select ="metadata/field[@name='Name']" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
