create XML dcr with attribute values

serroul

Good morning,

I am very new to TeamSite but have searched the documentation and can't figure out how to do this.


What I would like to do is have a DCT that produces XML like this

<mods>
<identifier type="doi">34213</identifier>
<identifier type="control_num">AD232</identifier>
</mods>


I can successfully create this XML using the following snippet

<container name="ids" location="identifier" min="1" max="unbounded">
<tem name="id_num" pathid="#PCDATA" rowcontinue="t">
<label>Identifier: </label>
<text maxlength="0" required="t" size="20"/>
</item>
<item name="id_type" pathid="@type"&gt;
<label>Identifier type: </label>
<select>
<option label="DOI" value="doi"/>
<option label="Control number" value="control_num"/>
</select>
</item>
</container>



However, what I would like my DCT to look like would be something like this:

DOI: _______________
Control number: _____________

I have tried various xpath values for the pathid (e.g. pathid="indentifier/@type=doi") with many variations on the syntax but haven't found anything that worked. Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance for any constructive advice!

You already have a good idea of how to accomplish what you want. The only thing I would change if I were you is
to make type a radio button (above or below id_num) instead of a drop-down, that'll show your user both mutually
exclusive Options at once.

That said, the following sample shows one possible way of how to make it in the *two items* manner. Note that "type"
items there are visible, you can use FormAPI to hide them (do not use <hidden> Tag, that does not allow defaults).
Again, I like your first idea better.[html]
