Perl code

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies. I have the below code for getting the branch path where I am getting the brach path as empty value. I am executing the below perl script by a custom menu item link after navigating to a particular branch. We are sure that the perl script is getting triggered via the custom menu link. Is there any other issue you my think in the below code?

Thanks!


CGI::ReadParse();
$page = new CGI;
my $branch= $page->param('branch');

No "branch" parameter is posted to the Menu cgi.

If you use legacy wrapper (wdpro_menu.ipl) you'll get branch_id, branch_name and branch_path.
If you don't, massaging "vpath" parameter's value is perhaps your best bet.

Hi Boris,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using wdpro_menu.ipl and got the path using branch_path as you pointed.

Thanks!

Hi Boris,

How would we get the VPATH?

Thanks!

Use this to get the names of all parameters passed to your script (or use Firebug's "Net" tab):

my @paramNames = $page->param();

If you want the complete output of everything that's available to you, point your menu item at /iw-bin/show_env.ipl.

If you want the complete output of everything that's available to you, point your menu item at /iw-bin/show_env.ipl.

Also if you use show_env.ipl make certain you test it with a file selected. It will return additional information when you select a file (which is often how you want your CGI to behave).

Hi Boris,

Thanks!

my $vpath = $page->param('vpath'); # Both current and legacy Modes
