I need to display a notification e.g. "No courses have been scheduled at this time" only if all the course occurrence start dates for a campus have expired.

Could anyone suggest an xpath query that could achieve this

I need to check all the occurrences for each campus and check all the start dates for each course occurence if these are older than date the xslt is run then I need to output the "no courses.." message.

I'm not sure how to do this with the The Muenchian Method of grouping?

I was thinking there could be an xpath query that could test for this in a choose when otherwise block.

Hope someone can help. Cheers.

todd jacksonSubject: check all parent node groups sibling nodes for date attrbute expired
Author: todd jackson

This was tricky, the best that I could come with was to define a template and pass the distinct campus name to the template and dynamically define an xpath query which will count all the start_date nodes listed under each campus which has a start_date greater than the run date of xslt (as this is run as a batch script daily);

hence my template is;

<xsl:template name="CampusTSCnt">
<xsl:param name="camp"/>
<xsl:param name="validtscnt"/>
<xsl:param name="inc" select="0"/>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$inc &lt; 1">
<xsl:variable name="query" select="count(/COURSEDEFINITION/COURSEOCCURRENCES/COURSEOCCURRENCE[CAMPUS=$camp]/START_DATE[(php:function('dateUnixFormated', string(.)) >= $currUDate)])"/>

<xsl:call-template name="CampusTSCnt">
<xsl:with-param name="validtscnt" select="$query"/>
<xsl:with-param name="inc" select="$inc + 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$validtscnt = 0">
<p>There are no available courses scheduled at this time</p>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('courseoccurrences-by-campus', CAMPUS)"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<!--<xsl:value-of select="$validtscnt"/>-->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

user defined template is called from the place in the xslt where I use the Muenchian Method for grouping each course_occurrence by campus

<xsl:for-each select="COURSEDEFINITION/COURSEOCCURRENCES/COURSEOCCURRENCE[count(. | key('courseoccurrences-by-campus', CAMPUS)[1]) = 1]">
<xsl:sort select="CAMPUS" />
<div class="Subhead0"><xsl:value-of select="CAMPUS" /></div>
<xsl:call-template name="CampusTSCnt">
<xsl:with-param name="camp" select="CAMPUS"/>
</xsl:call-template>


</xsl:for-each>

Using the keys defined at the top of the xslt page & called from the 'CampusTSCnt' template which then calls the 'COURSEOCCURRENCE' template if for each campus at least one current start-date is found for every course_occurrence in the source tree, and displays the time slots or timetable nodes for each respective campus.

<xsl:template match="COURSEOCCURRENCE">

<xsl:if test="((php:function('dateUnixFormated', string(./START_DATE)) >= $currUDate) and ((./TIMETABLE) or (./ACTIVITYOCCURRENCES/ACTIVITYOCCURRENCE//TIMESLOTS/TIMESLOT)))">


<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./TIMETABLE">
<div id="dtwrapper">

<div id="dtcontainer">

<div id="dtside-ab">

<xsl:copy-of select="php:function('CreateTxtNode::tok2htmltag', string(./TIMETABLE))"/>
</div>

<xsl:if test="contains(php:function('strtolower', string(./ALLOW_WEB_ENROL)), 'true')">
<xsl:call-template name="ALLOW_WEB_ENROL"/>
</xsl:if>

</div>
</div>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>
<div class="tmslthr"><hr /></div>
<xsl:for-each select="ACTIVITYOCCURRENCES/ACTIVITYOCCURRENCE/TIMESLOTS/TIMESLOT">

<div id="dtwrappernb">

<div id="dtcontainer">
<div id="dtheader">
<span class="Subhead4"><xsl:value-of select="php:function('date', 'l', php:function('strtotime', substring-before(./START_TIME,',')))"/></span>
</div>
<div id="dtside-a">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(./START_TIME,',')"/>
</div>
<div id="dtside-b">



<xsl:value-of select="php:function('date', 'g:i', php:function('strtotime', php:function('trim', substring-after(./START_TIME,','))))"/> - <xsl:value-of select="php:function('date', 'g:ia', php:function('strtotime', php:function('trim', substring-after(./END_TIME,','))))"/>
</div>

<xsl:if test="contains(php:function('strtolower', string(../../../../ALLOW_WEB_ENROL)), 'true')">
<xsl:call-template name="ALLOW_WEB_ENROL"/>
</xsl:if>

</div>
</div>


</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

I'm just posting here for my future reference, also hope this helps someone. Maybe somebody can point out a more elegant solution, as i've only tested on one course this may not run well on 250+ courses.
