browse htdocs in path issue

nico

I'm trying to incorporate the fix to the htdocs showing up in the path ie an href or img src when someone does a browse from a dct. I've included my code below, keep in mind i'm not a perl whiz so any help is welcome.

]]> <iw_iterate var='Links' list='Productofferings.Links'> <![CDATA[
<span class="bracket">&#62;</span>

<!-- strips htdocs from path -->
]]> <iw_perl> <![CDATA[

($path = iwpt_dcr_value(Links.Link URL)) =~ s|^/?htdocs||;

]]> </iw_perl> <![CDATA[

<a href='{iw_value name="$path"/}'><iw_value name='Links.Link Text'/></a><br>

]]> </iw_iterate> <![CDATA[

Can you find the problem? Any help is welcome

Thanks,
Nico

PT's (as of at least 5.0.1) do not *need* to be well-formed XML any more - this helps to remove the need for CDATA tags all over the place and makes it easier to read/write/maintain them. See the on-line information in http://TSserver/iw/help/tst/PT/iwpt_compile.html for more information.

<iw_iterate var='Links' list='Productofferings.Links'>
<span class="bracket">&#62;</span>
<!-- strips htdocs from path -->
<iw_perl>
($path = iwpt_dcr_value("Links.Link URL")) =~ s|^/?htdocs||;
</iw_perl>
<a href='{iw_value name="$path"/}'><iw_value name='Links.Link Text'/></a><br>
</iw_iterate>

Note: the major change to the above is to quote the argument to iwpt_dcr_value() because you have a space in the element name ("Link URL"). In practice, it would be better to use the label element to make readable names for the elements and use simpler element names:

<!-- simple item name -->
<item name="linkurl">
<!-- nice label -->
<label>Link URL</label>
<description>Select a picture file to display</description>
<browser initial-dir="/htdocs/images"
cieling-dir="/htdocs/images"/>
</item>
