How to get the Name, version, tcm id of the component in XSLT TBB

Question

I am working on a XSLT Template Building Blocks in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 using the XSLT mediator.

I just wanted to know, how to get the Name of component, Version and its TCMID while rendering.

Can any one help how it can be done?

Answer 1

After clearly observing the output in the Template Builder, I got answer as

<xsl:element name="TCMID">
  <xsl:value-of select="tcm:Component/@ID"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="name">
  <xsl:value-of select="tcm:Component/tcm:Data/tcm:Title"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="Version">
  <xsl:value-of select="tcm:Component/tcm:Info/tcm:VersionInfo/tcm:Version"/>
</xsl:element>

Probably not a complete answer to your question, but Package Items should be available as arguments to the template. So if you need to access a value that is not in the Component XML you could add it to the Package before you run the XSLT TBB.
