Read checkbox values in TPL

Hi,

I am using 6.7.1 TS. i have tried to fetch values with help of iwpt_dcr_value
Like :
my $checkBox = iwpt_dcr_value('prodSol.regional_settings.GroupCh');

but if i select multiple Checkboxes, above code return me only first values that i selected in DCT.

How can i retrive all selected values of checkbox? is there any other term for fetching values like iwpt_dcr_value?

Please suggest..

Read the documentation? - either through the browser (http://servername/iw/help/tst/pt) or from the command line (e.g.: perldoc TeamSite: Smiley Tongue

T::iw_perl)

Yes Adam,
Thanks for your reply.
I have read documentation and i have used iwpt_dcr_list
my @checkBox = iwpt_dcr_list('prodSol.regional_settings.GroupCh' );

but this is also not usful.

Checkbox Value is a list delimited by the character in the Instance 'delimiter' attribute.
Since the default delimiter is a comma, something like the following will work in most cases:

foreach my $choice (iwpt_dcr_value('prodSol.regional_settings.GroupCh')) { # note Value, not List!
iwpt_output("$choice ");
}

PD007


foreach my $choice (iwpt_dcr_value('prodSol.regional_settings.GroupCh')) { # note Value, not List!
    iwpt_output("$choice 
");
 }

Yes ISCBorisB,
i have tried that but no success.
but i am not getting why iwpt_dcr_value('prodSol.regional_settings.GroupCh');
is returning only single and first checkbox value?
I am also giving DCT code for reference
<item name="GroupCh">
<description>Check the group names that should see the content</description>
<checkbox required="t">
<option label="A1" value="A1"/>
<option label="A2" value="A2"/>
<option label="A3" value="A3"/>
<option label="A4" value="A4"/>
<option label="A6" value="A6"/>
<option label="A7" value="A7"/>
</checkbox>
</item>

when i tried to fetch with (iwpt_dcr_list) check box data with 4 checkbox selected then

    foreach my $choice (iwpt_dcr_list('Portlet.GroupSecurity')) { # note Value, not List!
     debug("choice:$choice");
    }

At log file I am getting 4 times
choice:TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x4c8c14)
choice:TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x4c9be0)
choice:TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x4cd164)
choice:TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x4cd32c)

Could you please tell me how can i read DCRnode=ARRAY() value?

You have to make sure you're referencing the field correctly - and it probably makes a bit of a difference if you're using "iwov" style DCT vs. "xml" style DCT. Here's an example of the latter:
DCT[indent][html]

[/html][/indent]PT[indent][html]Test

my @choices = split(/\s*,\s*/, iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.root.test'));
foreach my $choice (@choices) {
iwpt_output("Choice: $choice
\n");
}

[/html][/indent]Output (raw)[indent][html]Test

Choice: A2

Choice: A3

Choice: A6

[/html][/indent]Okay?

Maybe something like this will work.

[PHP]

 my $regions = Iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.prodSol.regional_settings.GroupCh[$iw_iteration]'); 

[/PHP]

(Remove the space from Grou pCh, posting won't let me remove it)

If not, can you share your datacapture.cfg file with us so that we can be sure of your structure.

Thank you Adam and Taalgaard for your reply,

Gothi, I have tried your code snippet but this not worked this still give only first check box value and for loop run only for one value. I m using dcr-type="iwov"


<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE datacapture SYSTEM "datacapture5.0.dtd">
<data-capture-requirements type="content" name="homecountry">
<ruleset name="homecountry">
<description>Home Country Portlet.</description>
<container name="Home_Country_Portlet" min ="1" max="15">
<item name="AutogenerateName" required="t">
<label>File Name</label>
<description>This value will be used to name the file.</description>
<text size="50" maxlength="100"></text>
</item>
<item name="test" pathid="test">
    <checkbox required="t">
    <option label="A1" value="A1"/>
    <option label="A2" value="A2"/>
    <option label="A3" value="A3"/>
    <option label="A4" value="A4"/>
    <option label="A6" value="A6"/>
    <option label="A7" value="A7"/>
  </checkbox>
</item>
</container>
</ruleset>
</data-capture-requirements>

and PT COde is

</iw_perl>
 <iw_iterate list='dcr.Home_Country_Portlet' var='Portlet'>
 <iw_perl>
    my $AutogenerateName=iwpt_dcr_value('Portlet.AutogenerateName'); 
    $AutogenerateName=~s| |\_|gims;
    my @choices = split(/\s*,\s*/, iwpt_dcr_value('Portlet.test'));
    foreach my $choice (@choices) {
    debug("choice:$choice");
    }
 </iw_perl>
</iw_iterate>

and Output is :
choice:A1

Hi Präshänt,

let me try a different approach.

It is best if you open your dcr in a text-editor and see the content of the corresponding xml-element. I believe it will be colon-seperated. If so, a split-regex should return the proper values.

Your iwpt_dcr_value should return this element-content.

If unsure, post the relevant chunk of the dcr (not the dct!)

PD007

Yes RonalV , I have checked that. Its not comma seperated values.
I have given DCR below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE record SYSTEM "dcr4.5.dtd">
<record name="iwDCR0_121111" type="content"><item name="Home_Country_Portlet"><value>
<item name="AutogenerateName"><value>Proper file</value></item>
<item name="test"><value>A1</value><value>A2</value><value>A3</value></item></value></item></record>

RonaldV

OK,

so the examples of Ghoti & Boris refer to the newer xml-layout of a dcr. You use the old-style layout. I'm suprised how different both style are, on this detail.

So, as per your example using iwpt_dcr_list you can use TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode->value() to get the value of the node. Or simply something like:

[HTML]
#within a iwpt_iterate:

[/HTML]

If you have a support-account you can find the perl-doc on dcrnode here: https://support.interwoven.com/library/perldocs/perldocs.asp

Else, you can locate the perl-code under iw-home/iw-perl/iw-perl\vendor\lib

If you are using "iwov" style DCT - then the examples look like this:
DCT[indent][html]

[/html][/indent]PT[indent][html]Test

my @choices = iwpt_dcr_list('dcr.test');
foreach my $c (@choices) {
iwpt_output("Choice: " . iwpt_dcr_value('$c') . "\n");
}

[/html][/indent]Output (raw)[indent][html]Test

Choice: A2

Choice: A3

Choice: A6

[/html][/indent]Okay?

spayal

[php]Test

my @choices = iwpt_dcr_list('dcr.test');
foreach my $c (@choices) {
iwpt_output("Choice: " . iwpt_dcr_value('$c') . "\n");
}

[/php]
When I am using this code for three check box choices, I am getting output in one line only
choice: onechoice: twochoice: three

Why am I getting output like this ? I want output as

choice: one
choice: two
choice: three

Thats why I am putting "\n" in here. Why is it not working ?

Because you are using a \n in HTML which does not mean anything

If you view source, you will see the new lines in the HTML.

use a br tag instead
