Chicago Style Notation

I have modified the xsl sheets for the book browse and book templates to show Chicago Style Notation for each book. However I am having trouble placing the author in the format of Surname, First Name. The only method I have found puts the name in the wrong order, meaning I have to edit it after copying. Is there any way of fixing this?

Ciao Peter,

I'm not 100% sure but it sounds like you have to "call" the Person's "Sort by" instead than his "Name"..

Fredrik will surely help you soon ! :wink:

Have a nice day.

G'day Mario,

I tried to find a way to use the Sort By, and couldn't find one. There is one in the Author Template, but I am not sure about the Book template.

Well Peter,
it's not certainly me the best person who can suggest / help about XSL & Templates, sorry, but I will take a look anyway...
I'm still learning and I think that Fredrik and experienced users can help you much more than I could do... :roll:

Hope you can resolve soon & if I have news I will report here. Take care ! :wink:

1. Download http://www.fnprg.com/userforum/bookcat_common.zip

2. Open the zip file and unzip Common.xsl to the \BookCAT\Explorer Templates folder.

3. Use the "showsortby" parameter when calling the "format-author" template, for example:


	Code: <xsl:call-template name="format-author"> <xsl:with-param name="authors" select="authors"/> <xsl:with-param name="showsortby" select="'True'"/> <xsl:with-param name="newline" select="'False'"/> <xsl:with-param name="newwindow" select="'True'"/> </xsl:call-template>

Fredrik,

I needed to play a little with the original "Common.xls" file here but I noticed the warning:
- 

Since I never saw such a warning before, I quickly gave up...
Hope that means I'm learning something... :wink:

Thanks a lot & take care.

Yes, you should not modify Common.xsl as the setup program will overwrite this file when you install a new version.

Thanks a lot for the explanation, Fredrik, that was indeed my feeling too... :wink:

It's always a pleasure noticing how professionally you work. Thank you :!:
