thanks Waldek, so anyway we can avoid this caching problem of the XSLT, as because of the caching the users see the Title of the webpart in a different language than it is meant to be…anyway to avoid this XSLT output caching in the CQWP/ECQWP (instead of writing a new webpart).
thanks

@MossBuddy: I don't think that would help since the cache-control meta tag would apply to the page that's rendering the XSLT not the XSLT itself. Additionally, since the Web Part already is on a page, you would get the html tag twice which might break your page rendering.

Hey Waldek,
How are you? Hope you are doing great.
Hey I wanted to ask you, what if we have output caching enabled (ofcourse some custom parameters used using varyby). And in the XSLT extensions we change TITLE of the webpart (basically to get multilingual Title depending on user profile language). So my experience has been that the XSLT is cached (I m confused as to whether it is output cache or some other cache). And that causes the XSLT to render the title of a wrong language (meaning it fetches cached XSLT, so whoever accessed it earlier the next person wld see that language title). So I wanted to check if I introduce a attribute in the XSLT like this, will it help:

Let me know u r thoughts.
Thanks

Hi there, this article didn't help. Since i have to pull preview/Thumbnail column and the pic library setting doesn't show its internal name to set it for imageurl.
If I get the name of the column i can set it in .Webpart as well as in ItemStyle.xsl.

Thanks.
Khushi

@Khushi: There is an article on MSDN on how you can include custom fields in the CQWP: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms497457.aspx. Let me know if it helped you.

Hi there. Informative and nicely narrated article. i have quick question though regarding CQWP. How can be image displayed on CQWP from Picture Lib? I read many articles and tried didn't get through this question. As mentioned in every blog/articles to use P: to know the name of the field to use it in .webpart as well as in XSLT file. but P: is not giving me any field names. May be because i hv Picture library which is based on Picture Content Type. Also, not able to find the field names of Preview or Thumbnail columns. please suggest.. Thanks Khushi

@david: One way is to use substring-before(@Title, '.aspx'), which will return everything before the .aspx extension.
