    Use macro parameter in GetXmlDocument($file, 1)

    In using Darren Ferguson's XSLT Feed Cache package (http://our.umbraco.org/projects/feed-cache) I want to know in the consumption of the generated XML file how to use a macro parameter in GetXmlDocument($file, 1) where $file is:

    <xsl:variable name="file" select="/macro/filePath"/>

    Even better, how can I hard code the root of the path, but concat in the actual file name? Dealing with quote characters is killing me here!

    I.e.

    <xsl:variable name="feed" select="concat('/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/FeedCache/', 'blog.xml')" />
    <xsl:variable name="feedContent" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlDocument($feed, 1)/Atom:feed"/>

    The above doesn't work

    <xsl:variable name="feed" select="'/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/FeedCache/blog.xml'" /> <!-- Note the necessary ' characters -->
    <xsl:variable name="feedContent" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlDocument($feed, 1)/Atom:feed"/>

    This does work, but then I'm back to hardcoding the entire path in the XSLT. I've tried various configurations of http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01393.html to see if that helps, but obviously, the real issue is my lack of understanding exactly when the variable is being treated as a string or not.

    I don't know if this would help, but I have used a string function before to force a variable to behave as a string.

    So string($var).

    I don't see anything wrong with your code that doesn't work though - I would expect that to work!

    Well, it turns out it was as simple as:

    SPAN { font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF; }A { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color:#000000;}.S2 { font-weight: bold; color: #800080; }.S4 { color: #8B0000; }.S5 { color: #009300; }.S1 { color: #00008B; }.S3 { color: #7D9EC0; }<xsl:variable name="theFile" select="/macro/filePath"/>
    <xsl:variable name="feed" select="concat('/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/FeedCache/', string($theFile))" />

    As opposed to:

    SPAN { font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF; }A { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color:#000000;}.S2 { font-weight: bold; color: #800080; }.S4 { color: #8B0000; }.S5 { color: #009300; }.S1 { color: #00008B; }.S3 { color: #7D9EC0; }<xsl:variable name="theFile" select="/macro/filePath"/>
    <xsl:variable name="feed" select="concat('/umbraco/plugins/FergusonMoriyama/FeedCache/', $theFile)" />

    Thanks!
