How can I show/access XSLT variable in Content Query web Part pane?

Question

I am using Content Query WebPart to display one item only on home page from the Posts list.

I need to display the data based on three conditions:

1) if "Display on home page" check box is checked
2) Based on Start Date and
3) On End Date

I am using this XSLT code, but it does not show up in the Tool pane of the CQWP.

How can I access these fields in Content Query WebPart?

Answer 1

Directly access your sharepoint columns in cqwp web part by column internal name. And you can filter result in CQWP webpart directly by configuration.

i.e.

<xsl:value-of select="@Column1_InternalName" /><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="@Column2_InternalName" /><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="@Column3_InternalName" /><br/>
