IWDCRInfo.setDCRName - "Function Expected" Error

frbcraig

When saving a DCR, I am attempting to use IWDCRInfo.setDCRName to set the name of the file being saved. When the javascript this code is in is executed, I receive the "Function Expected" error. Can anyone help resolve this?

Please show the exact code you are using with sufficient context to understand it (not everything - just enough to provide the context to the problem)

function handleNameDCR2(title) {
var branchItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/article/branch");
var branchOptions = branchItem.getOptions();
var branchItemIndex = branchItem.getValue();
var branchItemVal = branchOptions[branchItemIndex].value;
var itemPath = branchItemVal;
itemPath = itemPath + "/" + title;
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(itemPath, "FRSSitesHandleNameCallBack");
return true;
}

function FRSSitesHandleNameCallBack() {
return true;
}

Does your javascript function being called properly?

frbcraig

Yes, I have placed alert statements throughout the code and can follow it down to the setDCRName call....that is where the error occurs, the callback function is never reached.

[html]

IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(itemPath, "FRSSitesHandleNameCallBack");

[/html]
instead of this line try mentioning the function without doube quotes
[html]
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(itemPath, FRSSitesHandleNameCallBack);
[/html]

Remove quotes while calling the function being called back.

{Phanie stated the same. }

ok - that worked, but it's not doing what I'm looking for. I'm trying to take one of my fields in the dct, convert it to the format of "text_text_text" - so if the title field contains "this is a test", I want the dcr to automatically be saved with the name of "this_is_a_test"....that was the whole point in using setDCRName - am I missing something in my code? How can I accomplish the auomatic saving??

dude, you are asking too much, you never pasted your entire code.

since you know the name of the dcr to be saved, use replace function to replace spaces with '_' and pass/use the updated dcrname to set dcrname.

You can just use a validation regex on your item, then your users won't be able to save the dcr if they enter in spaces, or any other characters you omit (or don't include)

What does DCR naming from some Item have to do to validation regex?
