Aadi

Hi Friends,

I have two requirment related to templating:-

1: I need total count of all those items comes under one container in TPL file.How we can get total no. of items under oner container?

2. While iterating through iw_iterate tag, how we can get the container name and item names?

Thanks

If you're willing to code in Perl rather that pseudo-XML - I think it's easier - though if you're dealing with nested containers and you want the total number of items (leaf-nodes) it's a bit more involved, however that leads to the 2nd issue. I'm not testing this right now, so the code may not be 100% correct, but I believe it would be something like:

...
my @nodes = grep { $_->type() ne "CDATA" } iwpt_dcr_list('dcr.path.to.container');
my $num_nodes = @nodes; # this should give you the number of items directly within the container
foreach my $n (@nodes) {
    my $type = $n->type(); # this should give you things like 'text', 'container', etc.)
    ...
};
...

If you create a subroutine to parse the nodes from a container, you can call it recursively to traverse the entire node tree from any given starting point.

As with any coding, especially where you can't really run the code from the command line - logging debugging output can be extremely helpful...
