Getting Generated Path from Presentation Template

mcastleberry

Is there a way I can get the path of the file that is getting generated from inside the Presentation Template?

This might be what you're looking for. It's from the Templating Developer's Guide, in the <iw_perl> section...

iwpt_get_ofile_name()
iwpt_get_ofile_name($part)

Gets the name of the file that iwpt_compile.ipl will output.
If $part is undefined, the entire file name is returned.
If $part is 'dirname', the directory portion of the name is returned.
If $part is 'basename', the file name (minus the dirname) is returned.

Yes. Go to http://localhost/iw/help/tst/PT/TeamSite__PT__iw_perl.html on your teamsite server and read about iwpt_get_ofile_name().

That gives me the absolute path, can I get the relative path?

Thanks!

One way to do that would be to read HTTP_COOKIE and get workarea path from it. Then you could use regex to remove this workarea path from the absolute path you get from those iwpt functions.
Hope this helps!

THe answer is "yes", but the details depend on what directory you want the path to be relative to. If relative to the root of the WA, I'd use a regex:

==========================
$file = iwpt_get_ofile_name();
$file =~ s|.+/WORKAREA/[^/]+/(.+)|$1|;
==========================

should do it.

You can probably use the iwvpath CLT to get the pieces of the path that you want.

How do you get the values of cookies from within a PT? Especially when the PT was invoked from the command line?

Unfortunatly that did not work. Here's what I got:

$ofile = TeamSite: Smiley Tongue

T::iw_xml::get_ofile_name($iw_parser);
$ofile =~ s|.+\WORKAREA\[^\]+\(.+)|$1|;

It starts as Y:\default\main\APQC\WORKAREA\WA1\site\linktest.jhtml and still results as the same.

What I want from that path is "/site/linktest.jhtml".

thanks!

What do you mean by iwvpath CLT ?

I've tried using this:

$ofile = TeamSite: Smiley Tongue

T::iw_xml::get_ofile_name($iw_parser);
$otest = TeamSite: Smiley Tongue

T::iw_xml::get_virtual_path('', $ofile, 'docroot');

but I could never get that to work, trying every possible combination of locations and modes.

Thanks!

iwvpath Command Line Tools sure sounds like a very good idea.
It has a switch *-d* which can fetch jsut the directory path. That should work. You could refer to Command Line Tools guide for more details on syntax.

Yeha, I realise now that you are trying a Command line approach hence HTTP_COOKIE is not going to work. Sorry about the previous idea. But this iwvpath should work.

Hope this helps!

You probably need to escape the back-slashes in your regular expression.

Since you say you want forward slashes in your result anyway, I would recommend just changing the slashes first, and then applying your regular expression, e.g.:

$ofile = TeamSite: Smiley Tongue

T::iw_xml::get_ofile_name($iw_parser);
$ofile =~ s|\\|/|g;
$ofile =~ s|.+/WORKAREA/[^/]+/(.+)|$1|;

Hope this helps.

By "iwvpath CLT" I mean "invoke the iwvpath CLT to get the string that you want, given the string that you have".

Something like:

$ofile = TeamSite: Smiley Tongue

T::iw_xml::get_ofile_name($iw_parser);
my $iwvpath_result = `$IWHOME/bin/iwvpath -d \"$ofile\"`;
chomp $iwvpath_result;

"$iwvpath_result" should now be the string you want. It might begin with a leading slash though, but you can take it off:

s|^/||;

Hope this helps.

Maybe I got it wrong, but why do not do a substring search Of WORKAREA , you got the index and add 9 (length of WORKAREA/ word) ok, now you have:

WHATEVER/site/yourpage.html

now, do a search of the first '/' (slash) starting from the left,

now you have

/site/yourpage.html

seems a case of simple logic.. but then again, I might be getting the point wrong...
