    Is there any way to test/develop XSLTs outside Umbraco?

    Hi,

    I have rich set of xslt development and debugging tools. Is there any way to test xslts outside Umbraco?

    I am hoping to get the test XML data somehow so I can use them as test data to develop my xslts.

    Thank you,

    Hi Allan49,

    There are several ways to get to the XML:

    - First of all, it's stored as flat file on the disk in /App_Data/umbraco.config

    - Second, you can use a package called XMLDump to investigate and copy parts/all of the tree (does Media nodes too)

    - Lastly, you can do ainside a textarea, to dump the XML to the page you're on

    Regarding "outside" development - I do that 98% of the time (I prefer TextMate on a Mac) but that requires some discipline, and it'll be *much* easier with the so-called "match templates" approach. I wrote about some of the issues in this article (though, I'd recommend you read them all :-)
