Cocoon/Hippo get external xml

[biggie_mac <va...@yahoo.com>]

I want to get some data from an xml using <xsl:value-of
select="document(file.xml)/parent/..etc"> The only problem is that my xml
files are in
C:\hippo-repository-1.2.10\slide\content\files\default.preview...etc and my
page.xsl is in C:/site

So in order of document(file.xml) to work, the xml and xsl should be in the
same folder and they are not

I found a way arounf but I don't think it's such a good thing, plus it looks
complicated

so instead of having a variable <xsl:variable
select="document(file.xml)/parent.., I created a pipeline that selects that
particular xml document and I now have something like 
<xsl:variable name=a><xsl:apply-templates
select=thepipeline/></xsl:variable>
and somewhere in the lower part of the page.xsl I have defined a template
which get's the value I want. I don't know if anyone understood. Anyone
knows an easier way to get values from an external document? 10 in advance

Hi,

I'm afraid you're sending this to the wrong list. Since this is a Hippo 
CMS specific question I guess it's best to send it to the Hippo list.
See [1] for the correct lists. Since Hippo is using Cocoon there will be 
several ways of solving this, but let's take it to the correct list and 
handle it there.

Kind regards,
