param_val in iw_include

nipper

OK, so I am pulling my hair out. TS 6.7.1 Win2K

PT calls include with:

[html]


itemCode_param_val = 'dcr.Root.TopNav2.TopNavSelect2'
mode = 'ptlocal' />
[/html]

I use this module from multiple spots in the PT (with different itemCode)

In the PT module I do this:

[html]


my $itemCode = $iw_arg{itemCode};
chomp($itemCode);
my $anchor = $itemCode.".ScrollingText.Anchor";
iwpt_output("#####$anchor#####");




%%%%%%%%{iw_value name='$anchor' /}%%%%%%%%%
*********{iw_value name='dcr.Root.TopNav2.TopNavSelect2.ScrollingText.Anchor' /}********

[/html]

The value of dcr.Root.TopNav2.TopNavSelect2.ScrollingText.Anchor is another


The output is:

[html]


#####
.ScrollingText.Anchor#####


%%%%%%%%
.ScrollingText.Anchor%%%%%%%%%
*********another********

[/html]


So, when I hardcode the DCR Item it works, but when I pass in part and try to append the rest, it fails. I have been able to pass the whole thing in, but I need to pass the container


Any clues/tips/pointers/RTFMs greatly appreciated.

OK, so I am getting it to work now, but it looks convoluted:

call with

itemCode_param = 'dcr.Root.TopNav2.TopNavSelect2' 

use this in the module

my $temp = $iw_arg{itemCode};
$temp .= '.ScrollingText.Anchor';
my $data =  iwpt_dcr_value($temp);


{iw_value name="$data" /}

Looks like I need to do a lot more Perl and less of the TPL tags than I had hoped.

I will still keep playing with it.
