You can apply preprocessing to templates to populate new documents with values - for example setting the current date, or adding default content. This is done by creating a transformer in XSLT that will convert your template document to a template document with content.
For example, to add a new agenda item, which may look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <meta> <title></title> <date day="1" month="1" year="1970"/> <keywords keywords="" /> </meta> <content> </content> </document>
If you want the actual current date filled in after creation, have a folder structure in the root of your staging site that looks like: default.preview/configuration/editing/transformers/insertcontent.xsl where insertcontent.xsl could look something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Transforms content into the newly inserted template. --> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times" extension-element-prefixes="date" exclude-result-prefixes="date i18n"> <xsl:variable name="nYear" select="date:year()"/> <xsl:variable name="nDay" select="date:day-in-month()"/> <xsl:variable name="nMonth" select="date:month-in-year()+1"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="date"> <date day="{$nDay}" month="{$nMonth}" year="{$nYear}"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"><xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/></xsl:copy></xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
