DNN: RSS feed in 4 columns via DNN XML module using XSL

I try to format a RSS feed from my DNN site and make it look nice. I would like to show the content in 4 columns:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38410375/liste.png

I need a XSL file to use in DNN XML module, but can not get it work. I am not sure the code I already have makes sense but thats what I have found so far online. I hope somebody here can push me in the right direction as the error message I get is pretty cryptic for me.

Thank you in advance for your attention!

Here what I have:

    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="ItemsToShow"/>
<xsl:param name="ShowItemDetails"/>
<xsl:param name="ShowItemDate"/>
<xsl:param name="Locale"/>
<xsl:template match="rss">
    <table>
        <xsl:for-each select="channel/item[position()=$ItemsToShow or $ItemsToShow]"/>
        <div class="DNN_News_Item">
            <div class="DNN_News_ItemDate">
                <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDate='true'">
                    <xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/>
                </xsl:if>
                <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDate='true'">
<xsl:text>
- 
</xsl:text>
                </xsl:if>
            </div>
            <div class="DNN_News_ItemLink">
                <a href="{link}" target="_blank">
                    <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
                </a>
            </div>
            <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDetails='true'">
                <div class="DNN_News_ItemDetails">
                    <a href="{link}" target="_blank">
                        <xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
                    </a>
                </div>
            </xsl:if>
        </div>
    </table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="rss" mode="tr">
    <tr>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="td"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[position() &lt; 4]" mode="td"/>
    </tr>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[4]" mode="tr"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="rss" mode="td">
    <td>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>
    </td>
</xsl:template>

Solution

  • Is something like this what you're going for?

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="ItemsToShow" select="5"/>
  <xsl:param name="ShowItemDetails" select="'true'"/>
  <xsl:param name="ShowItemDate"/>
  <xsl:param name="Locale"/>
  <xsl:template match="rss">
    <table>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="channel/item[position() &lt;= $ItemsToShow or 
                                                not($ItemsToShow)]
                                               [position() mod 4 = 1]"
                           mode="row"/>
    </table>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="item" mode="row">
    <tr>
      <xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::item[position() &lt; 4]" 
                           mode="cell"/>
    </tr>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="item" mode="cell">
    <td>
      <div class="DNN_News_Item">
        <div class="DNN_News_ItemDate">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="pubDate[$ShowItemDate='true']" />
          <xsl:apply-templates select="pubDate[not($ShowItemDate='true')]"
                               mode="noDate" />
        </div>
        <div class="DNN_News_ItemLink">
          <a href="{link}" target="_blank">
            <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
          </a>
        </div>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="self::node()[$ShowItemDetails = 'true']" 
                             mode="details" />
      </div>
    </td>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="item" mode="details">
    <div class="DNN_News_ItemDetails">
      <a href="{link}" target="_blank">
        <xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
      </a>
    </div>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="pubDate" mode="noDate">
    <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    When run on that RSS feed's XML, the result is:

    <table>
  <tr>
    <td>

        <div class="DNN_News_ItemDate">-</div>
