Managing DBWalker Stylesheets

XSL Stylesheets allow you to customize the way the DBWalker results are presented via HTML. They are applied either server-side or client-side, as detailed in the DBWalker Output Overview section (pg. here) above.

Here you can can edit or delete stylesheets, or upload new ones. If the DBWalker server is running, you can view any stylesheet by clicking that stylesheet's name.

• Uploading XSL Stylesheets

  Beneath the list of current stylesheets is the Upload Stylesheet. Here you can browse to a .xsl file and upload it to the Parametric Search Appliance.

  If the file already exists, the Overwrite existing box must be checked when you upload, to make sure you acknowledge the old file will be overwritten.

• Editing XSL Stylesheets

  There are two methods for edit XSL stylesheets. The simplest way is to click on the "Edit" button next to a stylesheet. This provides a page with a large text area that contains the contents of the stylesheet. Make your changes and click "Save" to save the changes.

  If you're doing heavy development to a stylesheet, you'll probably find working in a text area very limiting. Alternatively you can download the stylesheet (by clicking on its name on the main DBWalker page), make the changes you want locally with your preferred XSL editor, and re-upload the file. If further tweaks are necessary, simply change the file and re-upload it as much as necessary.
