Index of Replicant in TPL

Bhargav Coca

I know this question was asked before , but it was more in the DCT point of view, i was wondering if we can get index of a replicant in our TPL.

I want to create a table which has rows with different backgrounds, and that has to depend upon the replicant index, for example first replicant forms 1st row with 'Red' background, 2nd replicant forms 2nd row with yellow bg, and 3rd with white, and then the cycle repeats.

I have done this before, but i had one color all though. Any advice please.

Thank you

Try taking a look at iwhome/examples/Templating/templatedata/tutorials/tutorial_2.tpl - it shows a way to do this in an XML-style PT - but the logic can (more?) easily be applied to a Perl-style PT.

Hello Ghoti,

In some cases the indexes for replicants starts with 1 and in some cases it seems to start with 0.

Is it really the case or is something wrong somewhere?

Please provide info about your working environment as what version of TS and on what platform you are operating. Also do mention the DTD version you are using for your DCTs.

Index for replicant container starts from 1.

I am using TS 6.5 SP2 and The dtd version is 6.0.

I still have the same issue.

Any ideas???

Below is a simple example of changing the row color based on the replicant index in your .tpl:

There are prolly better ways to do this, but as a TeamSlite n00b, I find that this works. In your case, you may want to change the if expression 'row_number eq' comparisons to the perl equivalent of a modulus operator. If it's divisible by 2 with zero remainder, put the 2nd color in. Else, put the first color in. I think it's 'mod' in javascript, but I don't know much about perl, so I don't know the actual syntax.

If you need to put three colors in there, you may have to set a row_color variable within your iw_iterate loop, and increment it from 1 to 3 with each loop, then reset it back to 1 when it equals 3... etc. Then just set the row color based on the row_color variable.

I may be way off base here, but I thought I'd take a stab at it, since I'm constantly finding answers to my problems in the forums.

thx,

Man, I'm a n00b, I can't get the html or code tags to work... I will attach a text file instead.

I am using something like this from the example of tpl's

But this is always returning the row with color "#FCCCCC", is there ea way to debug this?

Thanks

I think you have a typo:

iw_if expn should be iw_if expr

Does that help?

oops My mistake, but that is not a problem, cuz it still gives me only one color.
Thanks

Let me guess... Before you fixed the typo it always gave you #FCCCCC. Now you are getting only #FFFF00. Correct?

Bhargav Coca

NO in the both cases the color was same, #FCCCCC.
Thank you

The attached code is untested.

If it doesn't solve the problem I hope it at least gives an idea of a different direction to try.

[HTML]

my $count = 0;

$count++;

for ($i=0;$i<=$count;$i++) {
if(iwpt_dcr_value("dcr.PressRelease[" . $i . "].Title") ne "") {
if ($i % 2) {
iwpt_output('');
} else {
iwpt_output('');
}
}

}

In <iw_iterate list='dcr.PressRelease' var='press'> 'press' is not replicant's ordinal number, it's an object of DCRNode type.
What you need is something like <iw_iterate list='dcr.PressRelease' var='press' iteration='press_number'> Then you can check if press_number is odd/even.

Bhargav Coca

Thank you guys, i got this working. 'iteration' got it working.
Thanks
