Help! on nested replicant issue

shyamreb

I'm trying to access items in a nested loop using the <replicant> tag in the datacapture.cfg file, and the <iw_iterate> tag in the style.tpl file. There are two levels of replicants -- I'm able to access first-level items, but unable to access the items at the second level.

Here's the code from my datacapture.cfg file:
<!-- Style information -->
<item name="Style Collection">
<label>Custom style data collection</label>
<replicant min="1" max="100" default="1">
<item name="Style HTML Tag Override Indicator">
<label>Style HTML tag override (Y/N):</label>
<description>Determine if the style is an HTML override style</description>
<radio required="t">
<option value="Y" label="Yes"/>
<option value="N" label="No" selected="t"/>
</radio>
</item>
<item name="Style Name">
<label>Style name:</label>
<description>Custom style name</description>
<text required="t" size="70" maxlength="105"/>
</item>
<item name="Style Attribute Collection">
<label>Custom style attribute data collection</label>
<replicant min="1" max="50" default="1">
<item name="Style Attribute Name">
<label>Style attribute name:</label>
<description>Custom style attribute name</description>
<text required="t" size="70" maxlength="105"/>
</item>
<item name="Style Attribute Value">
<label>Style attribute value:</label>
<description>Custom style attribute value</description>
<text required="t" size="70" maxlength="105"/>
</item>
</replicant>
</item>
</replicant>
</item>

Here's the code from my style.tpl file:
<!-- Loop through style collection to get custom styles -->
<iw_iterate var='$CustomStyle' list='dcr.Style Collection' iteration='$CustomStyleCounter'>
<iw_perl>
<![CDATA[
# Initialize variables
$StyleHTMLTagOverrideIndicator = iwpt_dcr_value('$CustomStyle.Style HTML Tag Override Indicator');
$StyleName = iwpt_dcr_value('$CustomStyle.Style Name');

# Remove spaces from style name
$StyleName =~ s/ //g;

# Begin style entry
if ($StyleHTMLTagOverrideIndicator == "N") {
print CommonStyleFile "." . $SiteID . $StyleName . "\n{\n";
}
else {
print CommonStyleFile $StyleName . "\n{\n";
}
]]>
</iw_perl>

<iw_iterate var='$CustomStyleAttribute' list='$CustomStyle.Style Attribute Collection' iteration='$CustomStyleAttributeCounter'>
<iw_perl>
<![CDATA[
# Initialize variables
$StyleAttributeName = iwpt_dcr_value('$CustomStyleAttribute.Style Attribute Name');
$StyleAttributeValue = iwpt_dcr_value('$CustomStyleAttribute.Style Attribute Value');

# Remove spaces and colon characters from style attribute name
$StyleAttributeName =~ s/ //g;
$StyleAttributeName =~ s/://g;

# Continue style entry
print CommonStyleFile "\t" . $StyleAttributeName . ": " . $StyleAttributeValue . "\n";
]]>
</iw_perl>
</iw_iterate>

<iw_perl>
<![CDATA[
# Complete style entry
print CommonStyleFile "}\n";
]]>
</iw_perl>
</iw_iterate>

I don't generally use the $ on my <iw_iterate> variables. I'd change your tpl around like this:

<!-- Loop through style collection to get custom styles -->
