String utility functions

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:00:00 +1000

Lowercase, Uppercase, Replace, Split, Count substrings ...

By Zimmen

String utility functions (yes, functions)

version:  1.03
author:   Simon de Turck
email:    simon@zimmen.com

Maintained on gist

To use these functions add the string namespace to your master (or wherever you feel it suits best) stylesheet and import this utility. Add the namespace xmlns:string="http://symphony-cms.com/functions" to all stylesheets where you want to use these functions.

This utility uses some EXSLT that is supported in libxslt 1.0.19 and later

Usage:

Convert string to lowercase:

<xsl:value-of select="string:lower-case([selector])" />

example:

<xsl:value-of select="string:lower-case('ABC')" />

abc

Convert string to uppercase:

<xsl:value-of select="string:upper-case([selector])" />

example:

<xsl:value-of select="string:upper-case('abc')" />

ABC

Capitalize string (by vladG?):

<xsl:value-of select="capitalize([selector])" />
<xsl:value-of select="ucfirst([selector])" /> (alias)

example:

<xsl:value-of select="capitalize('the t in this sentence is capitalized!')" />

The t in this sentence is capitalized!

Capitalize each word in a string:

<xsl:value-of select="capitalize-words([selector])" />
<xsl:value-of select="ucall([selector])" /> (alias)

example:

<xsl:value-of select="capitalize-words('all words in this sentence are capitalized!')" />

All Words In This Sentence Are Capitalized !

Replace in string:

<xsl:value-of select="string:replace([selector],[needle],[replace])" />

example:

<xsl:value-of select="string:replace('a b c',' ',' to the ')" />

a to the b to the c

Split a string (returns a nodeset):

<xsl:copy-of select="string:split([selector][,[delimiter],[rootnodename],[nodename]])" />

Default delimiter: ','
Default rootnodename: 'nodeset'
Default nodename: 'node'

example 1:

<xsl:copy-of select="string:split('a,b,c')" />

<nodeset>
    <node>a</node>
    <node>b</node>
    <node>c</node>
</nodeset>

example 2:

<xsl:copy-of select="string:split('book1#book2#book3','#','bookstore','book')" />

<bookstore>
    <book>book1</book>
    <book>book2</book>
    <book>book3</book>
</bookstore>

example 3:

<xsl:copy-of select="string:split('item1#item2#item3','#','ul','li')" />

<ul>
    <li>book1</li>
    <li>book2</li>
    <li>book3</li>
</ul>

Count occurrences of a string in a string (by phoque):

To count elements (lets say <a href>'s in your text fields) you should use count(text/*/a) instead.

<xsl:value-of select="string:substring-count([needle],[haystack])" />

example

<xsl:value-of select="string:substring-count('the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog','the')" />

HTML5 Master Stylesheet (XHTML syntax with indenting)

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 09:00:00 +1000

Easily publish HTML5

By DavidOliver

A master stylesheet starting point based on the discussion in XSLT and HTML5 and what might be thought of as current best practices for handling non-JavaScript browsers and Internet Explorer CSS rendering bugs.

It is intended for use in conjunction with the html5_doctype Symphony extension and the Modernizr JavaScript library.

A comprehensive range of Internet Explorer version-specific classes is available on the html tag for CSS styling without loading of separate CSS files.

Necessary steps

html5_doctype Symphony extension

Install and enable the html5_doctype Symphony extension, which replaces the XHTML output in the first few lines of your document with HTML5 equivalents.

Modernizr

Download your modernizr.js file and place it into workspace/scripts

Modernizr changes the "no-js" class of the html tag to "js" if the visiting browser is using JavaScript, allowing you to write CSS specific to visitors with and without JavaScript.

It also makes Internet Explorer render and style the new HTML5 elements (assuming JavaScript is enabled in the visitor's browser).

Decimal to Fraction

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 03:00:00 +1000

Fast Decimal to Fraction.

By qnn

This utility takes in a decimal number and converts it to fraction string (0.5 -> 1/2).

I have been sitting on it for a while and I do not really remember if there were any bugs left. In general, it seems to be working just fine, but it has not been tested in production environment and on large datasets.

Video JS

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 08:00:00 +1000

A draft embedding html5 video using videojs

By iwyg

This is a rough example on how I implemented html5 video. Adapt this utility to your needs, In this specific case I am using the videojs player Script.

changelog:

2011.07.11: Fixed a typo that prevented Flash fallback from loading the video file

Example Setup:

create a video section
create uploadfields for video files (mp4, webm, ogg, flv)
create an uploadfield named 'poster
create a selectbox for choosing the video player's skin. Name it 'skin' and set values to 'default, tube, vim, hu'
if you don't provide a specific flv file, flash player will try to play the given mp4 file

in our xsl do something like:

    <xsl:call-template name="videojs">
        <xsl:with-param name="videoWidth" select="'778'" />
        <xsl:with-param name="videoHeight" select="'438'" />
        <xsl:with-param name="source" select="." />
        <xsl:with-param name="showDownloadLink" select="true()" />
    </xsl:call-template>

where param source ('.') should point to your 'video/entry' xpath

(example for backend view, using Nick Dunns HTML panel field extension)

E-mail link

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +1000

for clickable, scrambled e-mail links

By kanduvisla

Generates human-unreadable e-mail addresses in your source-code, while using JavaScript to convert these to clickable e-mail addresses on the go!

Usage:

On pages where you want to use this template, you first need to include a small javascript-function called 'strtr'. You can do this with the following XSLT:

<xsl:call-template name="strtr-function" />

Secondly, to create an e-mail link use:

<xsl:call-template name="e-mail-link">
    <xsl:with-param name="e-mail" select="e-mail-address (for example)" />
    <xsl:with-param name="value" select="'Send a mail'" />
</xsl:call-template>

Optional parameters are attributes to add to the anchor-tag:

class
id
title
rel
