It's a tricky way, but it works. We will have get using Freemarker the alf.filename attribute in lower case and removing the final .xml Here is the code: <code> <#list parsedPost.@@ as attr> <#-- Retrieve Filename - this made me sweat - Giorgio Cardellini --> <#if attr?node_name = 'file_name'> <#list attr?split(".") as name> <#if name_has_next> <#assign myFilename = name?lower_case> </#if> </#list> </#if> </#list> </code> ${myFilename} this will print out the wanted result and can be used insed URL to have a friendly navigation :) Have a nice day !

Here is the code:


<#list parsedPost.@@ as attr> <#-- Retrieve Filename - this made me sweat - Giorgio Cardellini -->
<#if attr?node_name = 'file_name'>
<#list attr?split(".") as name>
<#if name_has_next>
<#assign myFilename = name?lower_case>
</#if>
</#list>
</#if>
</#list>

${myFilename} this will print out the wanted result and can be used insed URL to have a friendly navigation :)

Have a nice day !

He is not using alf:file_name (this is used to retrieve the name of the XML file. The name which users type inside the web form when they create a new document or page) If you check part3 (http://drquyong.com/myblog/?p=96) of Youngs article you can see that he is retrieving the name of an image loaded using a file picker. This is quite easy and is not inherent with my question. I checked once again Youngs blog.

I always use XSL templates but now my output is not HTML but an RSS feed and my choice was to use Freemarker. Is there a way to achive the some result using Freemarker too ? Thank you Ben,

Alfresco wiki, is not very exhaustive, and contains some errors. (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WCM_Forms_Rendering) Cheers A question to the author:

This gives you the option to "add a web form" and associate a template. For a step by step guide along with some examples, take a look at WCM 2_1 Product Evaluation Guide.pdf from the Content Community - http://www.alfresco.com/community/register/ Its a little dated but is very useful.

It's like transformation wasn't applied. Greetings Hi,

Just install the blog-article.xsd file. I have just created a new web project, installed the XSD and both rendition templates just giving them a default rendition path, and the files are produced as expected. Regards, Ben. Hi Roger,

The XPath errors come from the xsl file, I was wondering if you could give me a sample configuration of the form you build to use this through alfresco.

Why can't they have information like this on the Alfresco site? The wiki is a mess and completely useless. Fantastic! Why can’t they have information like this on the Alfresco site?
