Containers and PT

Hi
I have some troubles with PT and containers. If I have a replicant with containers, how do I know what containers has been used so they can be presented correctly? Are there any parameters/values I can use in the iteration to know if the container is a "module_1", "module_2" or "module_3"?

My example:
<ruleset name="test">
<item name="modules">
<replicant min="0" max="12">
<container name="modules" combination="or" hide-name="t">
<container name="module_1" combination="and">
<item name="item1">
</item>
</container>
<container name="module_2" combination="and">
<item name="item2">
</item>
</container>
<container name="module_3" combination="and">
<item name="item3">
</item>
</container>
</container>
</replicant>
</item>
</ruleset>

thanks

Tomas

Hi Tomas,

You most input <label>... example:

<container name="modules" combination="or" hide-name="t">
<label>name label</label>
<container name="module_1" combination="and">

Ok?

I believe you want to use the <iw_ifcase> and <iw_case> PT tags. You can read up on them at:

http://your_teamsite_server/iw/help/tst/pt/TeamSite__PT__iw_ifcase.html

Hope this helps.

Ok, forgot to put that in. But how would that help me to identify which of the containers I find when I iterate over the replicant:
<iw_iterate var="var1" list="dcr.modules">
....
</iw_iterate>

what I want to do is something like:

<iw_iterate var="var1" list="dcr.modules">

if container_name = module_1
...
else container_name = module_2
...
else container_name = module_3
...
end if

</iw_iterate>

thanks
Tomas

I believe that the pertinent documentation is:
(from the bottom of <iw_ifcase> documentation)


  <!-- when iterating over all XML nodes of all types within y, -->
 <!-- the iw_case tag's type='...' may be used to discover the -->
 <!-- current node's type!                                     -->
 <iw_iterate     var ='an_xml_node_within_y'  list='dcr.x.y.*'>
     <iw_ifcase  name='an_xml_node_within_y'>
           <iw_case type='customer'>
                 This is an XML element of type "customer"
                 See for yourself: <iw_value name='$iw_ifcase_type'/>
           </iw_case>

           <iw_case op='=~' type='^zzz_'>
                 The type of this XML element starts with "zzz_"
           </iw_case>

           <iw_case value='zebra'>
                 Any XML node type who's value is equal to "zebra"
           </iw_case>

           <iw_case type='animal'>
                 The type of this XML node is "animal"
                 non-zebra animal: <iw_value name='an_xml_node_within_y'/>
           </iw_case>

           <iw_case>
                  The default case
           </iw_case>
     </iw_ifcase>
 </iw_iterate>

So you probably want something like:


<iw_iterate var='m' list='dcr.modules'>
    <iw_iterate var='mm' list='m.modules.*'>
        <iw_ifcase name='mm'>
            <iw_case type='module_1'>
            </iw_case>
            <iw_case type='module_2'>
            </iw_case>
            <iw_case type='module_3'>
            </iw_case>
        </iw_ifcase>
    </iw_iterate>
</iw_iterate>

Hope this helps.
