addItemHandler and Replicants, trouble addressing item

Hello,

I know this is covered before and probably should 'just work'. I'm trying to manipulate some paths (removing a WebContent root directory) by using addItemHandler. It works for items not within a replicant, but not for items within replicants.

Can anyone see what I'm missing? I'm using TeamSite 6.7.0 on Windows 2003.

Thanks!

Here's my script code:


var root = "/WebContent";

IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/internet_page_dcr/shortcolimg", "onItemChange", fixPath);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/internet_page_dcr/col_A/content/links/iurl_type/iurl", "onItemChange", fixPath);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/internet_page_dcr/col_B/content/links/iurl_type/iurl", "onItemChange", fixPath);
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/internet_page_dcr/col_C/content/links/iurl_type/iurl", "onItemChange", fixPath);

  function fixPath(item) {
    if(item.getValue().substring(0, root.length) == root) {
      item.setValue(item.getValue().substring(root.length));
      IWDatacapture.redraw();
    }
  }

And here are the containers and the items in question (for brevity, other items have been removed):

[html]

Short Column Image:
Specify an optional image to display on the right side of the shortcolumn template. Upload your images to '/<code style="color:#b11a3b">[yourProject]</code>/html/en/site/assets/images' to display here.

Column A
Main content area for the Web page. Dividing content between Column A and Column B is recommended. Required

A set of related content and links

Hypertext Links
Preferred method of adding links to a Web page.

Internal URL
Use to link to an HTML page within the current site.

Path to a Site HTML Page:
Browse to a generated HTML page, or enter a path that begins with / (the root directory of current site). Link to an HTML file only.

[/html]

1. Unless it's just a typo... You use "iurl_type" in FormAPI code, meanwhile it's "internal_url_type" in DCT.

2. I have no idea about your requirements however this sort of clean-up is often easier to do in presentation template.

Thanks for the response.

Regarding 'iurl_type' vs 'internal_url_type': I've tried it both ways. One references the name attribute in the XPath, the other references the location attribute.

Neither work, although I'm not sure which is correct to use. In all the containers, name=location.

We use the same datatype with multiple TPL's. I prefer to fix the paths in one place and not many. Our requirement is to strip the top-level 'WebContent' folder from internal URL paths. I'm using a method we learned in class.

Per Documentation, If you consider an XML document to be a tree of nodes, then the address to a particular
node is /parent_node_address + /child_node_name.

In all the containers, name=location.

That's not true for "internal_url_type" container

Put clean-up method into a library and you'll have it one place for multiple PTs as well.
