Omni CMS XSLT Variables

Assesses the current state of an Omni CMS file. There are four possible states within Omni CMS: preview (prv), publish (pub), edit (edt), and compare (cmp). By using ou:action, you can specify different code blocks to display based upon the state of the file by defining <xsl:if> and <xsl:otherwise> elements.

For example, on a page which uses server side scripting to display a feed, within Omni CMS you could fetch the output of the script when in preview, edit, or compare, but include the actual PHP call code block when the page is published.

<xsl:param name="ou:action" />
<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="not($ou:action='pub')">
		<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="unparsed-text('http://gallenauniversity.com/_resources/php/mrss.php')"/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
		include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. "/_resources/php/mrss.php")
