Hi Radu,

Thank you for the link. Hm...

If the pushed content is not shown in the Oxygen Editor, then the feature is not really useful for me. I need to see it to have control over what I am doing.

The conref-push content does not appear in CHM output either. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that I still use oXygen V21.1 to generate CHM output. (I made some XSL customizations which are not easy for me to apply to V25, a bit difficult and lengthy to explain...).

It appears much simpler for me to filter the contents out. But owing to the way my process is set up, I would need to apply a second ditaval file.

Can I specify two ditaval files for the "args.filter" argument? This would be the best.

And I would need a second attribute in addition to "product", otherwise I would have to edit each and every element that uses a "product" attribute. There are not so many attributes available. Perhaps I could (mis)use "platform"... (for indicating the project).

I heard of ditvalref branch filtering and I tested this. It does not create the desired result as duplicates of every reused topic are created. This is not what I want and it messes up many topic references. Can I set up branch filtering differently so that no topic duplicates are created? Probably not...

The reason is that my ditaval files contain conditions for creating variants (oem1, oem2, etc. -- no condition stands for the base product) of a product group (project1, project 2). The same ditaval conditions (oem1, oem2, etc.) are used across different product groups. It never occurred to me to filter on product groups (projects) because I use root ditamaps stored in different folders to create output for different product groups.

Frank

Hi Frank,

Maybe this will help:

One remark, Oxygen will not show the pushed content in place but publishing should work.

Hi all,

I have tested the "DITA > Push Current element" feature, but cannot get it to work.

I want to inject a <dlentry> element into a shared topic which is used in two projects. The element to be injected is stored in a warehouse topic for project 1. What I want is to inject this element only when project 1 is built. When project 2 is built, the key to the warehouse topic resolves to a different file which doese not include the element. So what I hope is that the element is only injected when I build project 1 and that it is left out when I build project 2 -- without any error or warning generated in the log file or in Oxygen's editor window.

However, the element does not appear in project 1 and in Oxygen it is shown as an empty <dt><p> struture. In a previous attempt the element was shown in the editor window, but not in output either. I can't remember what I did differently...

I may not have undestood this feature correctly. Can someone enlighten me? Thank you.

Regards,

Frank

The dita code:

file.dita

        <dlentry conaction="mark" conkeyref="lib_ref/my_id">
          <dt/>
          <dd>
            <p/>
          </dd>
        </dlentry>
        <dlentry conaction="pushafter">
          <dt>A term. The term in lib_ref.dita should be injected after that.</dt>
          <dd>
            <p>Explanation</p>
          </dd>
        </dlentry>

lib_ref.dita

      <dl>
        <dlentry id="my_id">
          <dt>The term to inject after the term in file.dita</dt>
          <dd>
            <p>Explanation</p>
          </dd>
        </dlentry>
      </dl>

variables.ditamap

    <keydef href="reuse/lib_ref.dita" keys="lib_ref"/>

Appearance in oXygen.
