jQuery - using template files - .tpl and .cfg

TeamSite_Smasher

Hello all.

Version: Interwoven TeamSite 6.7.2.0
Build Number: 69626

I am trying to put a slideshow on a page, and we use .cfg and .tpl files to generate the .asp pages.

First, here is the jQuery javascript, that uses the jQuery cycle plugin.
Fairly simple, it reads each child element within a certain div (.slideshow), counts them, and places a mini navigation under it, incremental numbers..i.e. [1] [2] [3]...etc..etc...

[html]<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.slideshow').after('

').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed: 'fast',
timeout: 5500,
pause: 1,
pager: '#mininav',
before: function() { if (window.console) console.log(this.src); }
});


});
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {

$('.slideshow').hover(function() {
$('#mininav-pause').show();
},
function() {
$('#mininav-pause').hide();
});


});
</script>[/html]

In the .cfg file, i am trying to set this div to "replicant" so that i can just keep adding slides as i add more content which consists of an image, headline, and text.

[html]

Headline:
Enter headline title






Text:

<br> maxlength="700" validation-regex="^[\s\S]{0,700}$" external-editor-inline="true" /><br> <br> </item> <br> </replicant><br> </item> <br>[/html]<br><br>So for instance, if i have 5 of these replicants populated, it will create 5 slides each with a headline, image and text...<br><br>HOWEVER, i get a compiling error when i try to generate the page from the visual editor... here is my HTML<br><br>I am unable to see what the error specifically is, becuase i do not have access to the logs.<br><br>[html]<br><div id="mininav-pause"></div><br><div class="tabContainer slideshow"><br><br> <br><iw_iterate list='dcr.main.slideshow-content' var ='slideshow-content'><br> <![CDATA[<br> <div class="tab current" style="background:#fff url({iw_value name='slideshow-content.slideshow-image'/}) no-repeat top left;"><br> <div class="copy"><br> <h2>{iw_value name='slideshow-content.slideshow-headline'/}</h2><br> <p>{iw_value name='slideshow-content.slideshow-text'/}</p> <br> </div><br> </div><br>]]></iw_iterate><br> <br> <br> <br></div><!--/tabContainer slideshow--><br>[/html]<br><br>Is there something blatantly glaring that i am doing completly wrong???<br>Is there something blatantly glaring that i am doing completly wrong???

First of all - you really should be using "xml" style DCTs instead of "iwov" style DCTs.

Secondly - you didn't show us enough of the context of the DCT for us to validate the code you placed in your PT

Thirdly - you didn't show us all of the context of the PT, but I imagine that you are trying to use an XML-srict PT (<iw_pt name="...">...</iw_pt>) rather than an XML-loose PT (<iw_pt name="..."/> or no iw_pt tag at all) - it's generally recommended that you use the latter, an XML-loose PT so you don't require the CDATA tags all over the place.

Of the PT code you did post:[html]

<br> <div class="tab current" style="background:#fff url({iw_value name='slideshow-content.slideshow-image'/}) no-repeat top left;"><br> <div class="copy"><br> <h2>{iw_value name='slideshow-content.slideshow-headline'/}</h2><br> <p>{iw_value name='slideshow-content.slideshow-text'/}</p> <br> </div><br> </div><br>

[/html]The only question I see right now is: Are you sure that

dcr.main.slideshow-content

is the correct address for the replicant item (which in "xml" style DCT would be a container)

Without knowing more about the error, and whether you can repeat the error by using iwpt_compile.ipl from the command line on the server (which I'm assuming you can't if you don't have access to the log files) - I'm not sure there's much we can do to assist.

As a developer (assuming that's what you are) - you should have access to the server. If you don't have it, you should talk to your Manager to get it. Otherwise you're being handcuffed.
