Hi all,
I have an xml file with duplications of elements, which I can list uniquely
fine (used the XSL example by Jenni Tennison).
The xml file looks like this:
<PROJECTS>
<PROROW>
<id>1</id>
<name>Customer 1</name>
<project_name>Project 1</project_name>
</PROROW>
<PROROW>
<id>2</id>
<name>Customer 1</name>
<project_name>Project 2</project_name>
</PROROW>
<PROROW>
<id>3</id>
<name>Customer 2</name>
<project_name>Project 1</project_name>
</PROROW>
<PROROW>
<id>3</id>
<name>Customer 2</name>
<project_name>Project 4</project_name>
</PROROW>
<PROROW>
<id>3</id>
<name>Customer 1</name>
<project_name>Project 1</project_name>
</PROROW>
</PROJECTS>
I can get the listing of Unique customers
Customer 1
Project 1
Project 2
Project 1
Customer 2
Project 1
Project 1
However I'm unsure as to how to only list the unique Projects within these
listings. I've checked the archives and Dawsons (but couldn't find anything
obvious).
I've been trying to use another: <xsl:apply-templates
select="../PROROW[generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('rows', project_name))]"
mode="again"/> line within the first template that lists the customers, but
this provides a listing of all unique Projects for each customer under each
customer heading.
The stylesheet I have used is:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:key name="rows" match="PROROW" use="name"/>
<xsl:key name="rows" match="PROROW" use="project_name"/>
<xsl:template match="PROJECTS">
<xsl:apply-templates select="PROROW[generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('rows', name)[1])]" mode="other"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="PROROW" mode="other">
<b><xsl:value-of select="name" /></b>
<xsl:apply-templates select="../PROROW[generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('rows', project_name))]" mode="again"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="PROROW" mode="again">
<xsl:value-of select="project_name" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I would be very grateful if someone could pointme in the direction of a
working example of this in action.
