Issue with Form Handler

sravanjami

Hi
I am facing a strange issue with the FORM API CALL.I have javascript that gets called when the author clicks the generate button on the DCR.

The issue is that the script gets called multiple times when I click on the generate method , where as this should be called once.

When I remove the if/else condition , the every this is working normal , but I need this condition to prevent duplicate entries to my config file.

Javascript Call:
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("OnGenerate", generateForm);

The Java Script is attached below:
function generateForm()
{

var isGenerateValue = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/isGenerate").getValue();
if(isGenerateValue == 'NotGenerated')
{
IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/isGenerate").setValue("canGenerate");
}
else if(isGenerateValue == 'canGenerate' )
{
IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/isGenerate").setValue("doNotGenerate");
}
var seoUrlName = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/SeoUrl").getValue();
var formLocal = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/formLocale").getValue();
var articleItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/ArticleType");
var articleType = articleItem.getOptions()[parseInt(articleItem.getValue())].value;
var splitArticle = new Array();
splitArticle = articleType.split("_");
var folderPath = "/"+formLocal+"/XMLDataSource/Article/"+splitArticle[0]+"/";
seoUrlName=folderPath+seoUrlName+".xml";
IWPageGeneration.setOutputFile(seoUrlName);
return true;
}

Maybe I'm missing something - but I see you setting

IWDatacapture.getItem("/Articles/Article/isGenerate")

but nowhere do I see you using the value of that item as part of a conditional to test whether you should proceed any further.

It looks like a basic logic error in your code.
