CGI Callout issue

magikandrea

Hi all,
my environment is TS 672 SP2 on Windows 2003.

I have a datacapture template that, using a CGI callout, runs a PERL script that should automatically populate a DCT field. DCT type is "iwov".

In my PERL script I get the "iw_item_name" value that should return the name of the field where I have to set the value.

The problem is that the iw_item_name returns the following value: "chiaviricerca/0/idreplicant" but the field name is "chiaviricerca/31/idreplicant".

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Is there anybody that can help with this?

Is there anybody that can help with this?

If you post your code somebody may be kind enough to help. Without it - probably not

From whatever little you decided to share with us poor guys, I could see that you are getting the 1st instance of a replicant and you want some other instance?

Share your code.

I hope you are trying to use HTML field name instead of DCT Item here. In that case only it will automatically changes will happen for field name for DCT when it loads.

Better to share your DCT and perl script

Hi all, here are the DCT section with the callout element and the CGI perl code I'm using.

[HTML]

Seleziona le chiavi di ricerca

[/HTML]

As you can see this is a replicant element and I'm working with the first element.
In my CGI script the iw_item_name value is "chiaviricerca/0/idreplicant" but in the HTML form this field has the "name" attribute set to "chiaviricerca/31/idreplicant"

The CGI script simply parses the form to get the field where I need to set the value, but it is not able to find it.

curiousmaverick

How are you getting the name/id of the item in your script?

Try using "inline" element .

Sorry I forgot to add the CGI code.

Here it is:

 

use TeamSite::CGI_lite;
use CGI qw(:standard);
$ip = '10.14.60.156';
# begin the cgitask
$|=1;
$cgi = TeamSite::CGI_lite->new();
$cgi->parse_data();
my $form_name   = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_form_name'};
my $element_name  = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_callback_var'};
my $user_name   = $cgi->{'form'}{'user_name'};
my $item_name   = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_item_name'};
my $item_description = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_item_description'};
my $dcr_name   = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_object_name'};
my $workarea   = $cgi->{'form'}{'area_path'};
my $dcrtype = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_dcr_type'};
my $Action = $cgi->{'form'}{'Action'};

Post your Form API JS as well.

It's been a while since I've done this, but I believe you need either item_name or element_name - and you have to morph it - so if you get something like

"chiaviricerca/0/idreplicant"

you have to change it to

"chiaviricerca[1]/idreplicant"

- notice the change from

/x/

[x+1]/

.

Now you also need to look at the values of both those form variables because one of them should point you to the specific instance of the field.

Try dumping all the form variables and values to a log file - or - temporarily replace the calling of your script with show_env.ipl and look at all the values that are available.

Hi all,
i was able to solve this by using the value from parameter "$element_name" instead of using the "$item_name".

Thank you all for your support.

Hi,

Could you please post the snippet of code which retrives the value,
I am also struck here in the same place

Warm Regards

Use the below code snippet to solve the issue


my $element_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_item_name'};

my %num = ();
while ($element_name =~ m!/([0-9]+)/!g) {
 my $num = $1;
 $num{$num} = $num + 1;
}

foreach my $key (keys %num) {
 my $num = $num{$key};
 $element_name =~ s!/$key/![$num]/!;
}

Adam Stoller

For clarity sake, I modified your code to use a different variable name for the scalar variable as it's a bit less confusing that way (I think):

Use the below code snippet to solve the issue

my $element_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_item_name'};

my %num = ();
while ($element_name =~ m!/([0-9]+)/!g) {
 my $idx = $1;
 $num{$idx} = $idx + 1;
}

foreach my $key (keys %num) {
 my $idx = $num{$key};
 $element_name =~ s!/$key/![$idx]/!;
}

Although, I'm not sure you need to bother with the hash at all - I think the following would be sufficient:

my $element_name = $cgi->{form}{iw_item_name};
while ($element_name =~ m!/(\d+)/!) {
    my $x = $1 + 1;
    $element_name =~ s!/(\d+)/![$x]/!;
}

Theoretically, you should be able to simplify it even more, into:

$element_name =~ s!/(\d+)/![$1+1]/!eg;

but some aspect of that line generates syntax errors and I don't feel like figuring out what's wrong with it right now ;-)

Hello,

I'm also facing an issue with cgi-callout in the DCT. Here in the code attached with the post, I'm passing parameter 'document' in the url which I want to read in the ipl file 'WNewspromptFileUpload.ipl'.

Please let me know how should I read it in the ipl file.

Regards,
Harshita

You're replying to a 4yr old thread, so the chance that your problem is the same as what's discussed here is near zero. Open a new thread, clearly describe your objective and the error, and state your product+OS versions. (and post your ipl too)
