How to customise Content Query Webpart to get this view

Question

I would like to customise the Content Query Webpart like i normally do with DWP but i know its a different approach.

All i want to do is to get the title name and turn it into a link and when you click the title link i want it come up with a a custom page that i would create and pass some querystring parameters to it.

Something like this

e.g

<a href="#" onclick="openDialog('/sites/Sample/Pages/GMComms.aspx?ID={@ID}','{$title}'); return true "><xsl:value-of select="@Title"/></a>

the openDialog is the

SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog();

Any ideas would be appreciated.

In that case you'll have to either modify or create a new XSLT Template in the ItemStyle.xsl file, which you find in the /Style Library/XSLT Style Sheets/ItemStyle.xsl

In the template you can insert javascript as follow:

<script language="javascript" defer="true">
  <xsl:comment>
    <![CDATA[
      $(document).ready( function() {
        // logic here

        // Example to include XSLT variables
        $('#AnchorID').click(function () {
          var url = $(this).attr('href');
          SP.UI.ModalDialog.openModalDialog(url,]]> <xsl:value-of select="$title"/> <![CDATA[);
        });
      });
    ]]>
  </xsl:comment>
</script>
