Hi Eran,

Thanks for your quick reply!

Can I use <xsl:choose> to set a <xsl:variable> ?

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$today = '4'">
       <xsl:variable name="docType" select="Wednesday"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$today = '5'">
       <xsl:variable name="docType" select="Friday"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

<xsl:variable name="day">

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$today = '4'">
       <xsl:value-of select="Wednesday"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$today = '5'">
       <xsl:value-of select="Friday"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

</xsl:variable>

Hi Ralph,

I'll suggest an entirely different solution just for inspiration; I don't exactly know what you mean by docType, but I'm assuming you have a container document of some sorts, containing seven documents named after the weekdays - whether they're the same docType with different names (@nodeName) or 7 unique docTypes ("Monday" docType, "Tuesday" docType etc.) doesn't matter - this would work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:umb="urn:umbraco.library"
    xmlns:date="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes"
    xmlns:make="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    exclude-result-prefixes="umb date make"
>

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

    <xsl:param name="currentPage" select="/root/Website/Textpage[@id]" />
    <xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level = 1]" />

    <!-- Grab the container of the Weekday docs -->
    <xsl:variable name="weekdayContainer" select="$siteRoot/Weekdays" />

    <!-- XML variable for easy lookup -->
    <xsl:variable name="weekdays-mapper">
        <day id="1">Sunday</day>
        <day id="2">Monday</day>
        <day id="3">Tuesday</day>
        <day id="4">Wednesday</day>
        <day id="5">Thursday</day>
        <day id="6">Friday</day>
        <day id="7">Saturday</day>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="weekdays" select="make:node-set($weekdays-mapper)" />

    <!-- Get the day of the week -->
    <xsl:variable name="today" select="date:dayinweek()" />

    <xsl:template match="/">

        <!-- (1) If your docTypes are of the same type (e.g. "Weekday") and just named after the day, use @nodeName -->
        <xsl:apply-templates select="$weekdayContainer/Weekday[@nodeName = $weekdays/day[@id = $today]]" />

        <!-- (2) If you have 7 different docTypes named "Sunday", "Monday" etc. use name() -->
        <xsl:apply-templates select="$weekdayContainer/*[name() = $weekdays/day[@id = $today]]" />

    </xsl:template>


<!-- Template for a Weekday - change to your actual docType name (1) -->
    <xsl:template match="Weekday">
        <p>
            Hey this is <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName" />.
        </p>
    </xsl:template>

    <!-- = = = = = = = = = = -->

<!-- Templates for the daily doctypes (2) -->
    <xsl:template match="Monday">
        <p>So this is Monday, huh?</p>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Tuesday">
        <p>Aha - Tuesday!</p>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="Wednesday">
        <p>Yay - it's Wednesday!</p>
    </xsl:template>

    <!-- Etc... -->

</xsl:stylesheet>

Wow, Chriztian, thanks! Well worth the time reading it ;-)

I think I have option 2. My tree looks like this:

listpage
   - bar 1
- monday
- tuesday
- wednesday
- etc
   - bar 2
- monday
- etc.
  - bar 3

Depending on the day of the week I the listpage shows a list of what all bars have to offer that day. The XSLT for displaying the items is exactly the same for every day, except the xpath is different.

<xsl:if test="$weekday = '4'">
   <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/bar/wednesday [@isDoc]">
       show some stuff from the wednesday pages
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$weekday = '5'">
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/bar/thursday [@isDoc]">
      show some stuff from the thursday pages 
     </xsl:for-each> 
</xsl:if>

f I understand correctly I still have to make a template for every day of the week. My thoughts were to check which day it is, depending on that set a variable and pass that to the xpath. I do not know if that can be done. I tried, but then I get lots of errors ;-)

What's the best thing to do?

Thanks for the help!

Ralph

Chriztian, 

You truly are the XSLT king! Thanks a million!
