Hi,

I found in Geonetwork Xsl files a PATH like this : /root/gui/… and i want
to understand what this path means.

It is related to Xpath language :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpath

Note : If you add a “!” after your GeoNetwork URLs, you may get the raw XML datas before XSL processing ; then you should recover the XML path, i.e. :

[...] [...] [...] [...] [...]

In your example “/root/gui/…”, it means that is children of . You may find better documentation than I can provide on the net :wink:

Hope that helps,

Hello,

thank you for your help, i understand better than before.

I have a seconde question, in Geonetwork when we want to get some data from
a node in xml file like City in <city>City</city> who is defined in
strings.xml (PATH\web\geonetwork\loc\en\xml\strings.xml) they just write in
the Xsl file value-of select="/root/gui/strings/city".
It's like the " /root/gui/" define a path and not node...?!

You know what it means in this case ?

Thnx

hi Cissine,

I think the is a thing of Jeeves, and its descendants are added because of this in config.xml:

main.home fr true text/html; charset=UTF-8

… etc.

Kind regards

the “/root/gui/…” defines the path which allows you to point on the XML node you are interested in. the xsl “value-of” indicates that you’re interested in the “inner” value between the two anchors, I guess ( http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_value-of.asp )

If you had something like “City…”, and you did use a , I think it’d have been equivalent to “capital”, but I’m not a XSL expert (relying on : http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_param.asp ).

Hth,

Hello everybody,

thx for your help, i understand know what it mean.

In the browser when i put "!" at the end of the url i saw the structure of
the main.xml i think and it look like this :

- <root>
  -<gui>
    +<strings></strings>
    +<countries></countries>
    ...
    +<iso19139></iso19139>
    +<templates></templates>
    ...
  -<gui>
-<root>

So when we want to get some informations from any node we have just to write
the right path for this xml.

thnx
Merci beaucoup.
