Changing labels with CssSelector

[Francois]

Hello guys,

I still don't master CssSelector transformation.

I would like to use them to transform something like:

<people version="1" otherProp="prop">
  <name>foo</name>
  <friends><name>bar</name></name><name>baz</name></friends>
</people>

Into:

<user version="2" otherProp="prop">
  <login>foo</login>
  <knows><name>bar</name></name><name>baz</name></knows>
</user>

And I just don't know how to start...

If some CssSel guru would mind to shore is knowledge...

Thanks !

  val kids = ns.asInstanceOf[Elem].child

  ("name" #> ((ns: NodeSeq) => <login>{ns.asInstanceOf[Elem].child}</login>)).apply(kids)

  }</user>)

This was too good to let it get lost in the mailing list archives, I
added it to this wiki
http://www.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/wiki/Binding_via_CSS_Selectors
under "Replace tags, keep content"

Thanks

I think this should be easier... Francois, can you open a ticket at http://ticket.liftweb.net and assign it to me to add something to the CSS selector transforms to make re-wrapping an Elem easier?

Well, sorry for the delay... I do open the ticket:
https://github.com/lift/framework/issues/1236
But I don't know how to assign a version, assignee, or other information
(I don't seem to be able to drag and drop tags to the issue)... Sorry
for the inconvenience.
