1. Building Advanced Components with XSL
Akifumi Yamamoto, Web Developer

2. XSL Basics
XSL elements (e.g., <xsl:apply-templates/>):
XPath (e.g., /document/table):
XQuery Functions (e.g., upper-case(“caps”)):

3. Table Transformations
No validation
Easy to break

4. Components as Tables Form-based editing Input validation
Development process is similar to table transformations

5. Component Ideas OU Blogs A more friendly <blog/> node generation
LDP Galleries Enhanced gallery options
Faculty Directory Centrally managed profile fields

6. Advanced Component 1: OU Blogs Asset Generator
Turn OU Blogs dynamic asset into a component
Create a <blog/> node with parameters:
<blog dir=“/blog/” type=“page-related” limit=“3”/>
Form-based input allows for anyone to edit or create new ones

7. Advanced Component 2: LDP Gallery Enhancement
Complement LDP Galleries with options
Form-based input allows for anyone to edit or create new ones
Table output for familiarity + WYSIWYG preview

8. Advanced Component 3: Faculty Directory Profile Fields
An alternative to using MultiEdit/Page Parameters as form-based editing
Fields are centrally managed and allows for easy future modifications
