In above code, if I have one presentation ID, all nodes will be captured by this code. But what if I have more than one presentation IDs , will all the nodes under presentations be captured by this code ? There need to be an itaration to capture multiple replicants.

Nirali,

your text and question is somewhat like chinese to me. Please explain what do you mean by:
- presentation ID?
- captured by this code?
- all nodes under the presentations?
- to capture multiple replicants?

You can only expect a good answer if you state your question as clear as possible.

BTW, did have a look at the docs on 'iwpt_dcr_list' *BEFORE* replying to my answer?

nirali

Yes, I did look in the documentation for iwpt_dcr_list. There is nothing specified about iteration.
My confusion is , if I container presentationid is replicant, then items in first replicant of this container will be accessed as "iwpt_dcr_value(dcr.events.presentationid[1].thumbimage)"
For second replicant, this item will be accessed as "iwpt_dcr_value(dcr.events.presentationid[2].thumbimage)"

Here my confusion is, if I am using the code posted here in first post, it is as follows "iwpt_dcr_value(dcr.events.presentationid.thumbimage)"

It looks like this code will not capture anything, because presentationid is not using replicant number. So how can I code, so that values from a replicants are captured ?

If I am not using iw_perl, I can do it with iw_iterate. But within iw_perl, what
shall I code ? If possible, please explain with a small sample code. This details are not available in manual

Thanks.

Well this is kind of basic perl knowledge, I suppose:

[php]
my @array = iwpt_dcr_list('x.y.z');

foreach my $item (@array) {
my $value = iwpt_dcr_value('item.fieldname');
//or
my $value2 = $item->value('fieldname');
}
[/php]

How can I refer to the "summary" or "title" of second replicant as all have same name and replicant number is also not present. Is this a valid xml in first place ? Can two nodes br of the same name ?

Thanks

What does this mean ?
I am confused with the way this DCR xml is generated. How can I refer to a particular value in this DCR using TPL ?

You can find documentation for the TeamSite Presentation Template Tags on your local server.
yourservername>http://yourservername /iw/help/tst/pt/index.html

But removed it after I saw that your next post (that came about the same time as mine) where you mentioned you use containers and not replicant tags. I don't use containers (will be soon) so I don't know if the example that I had pulled back would even work for you since it works with items generated with replicant tags.

Adam Stoller

In your PT - when you're trying to output a CDATA tag - try to break it up so that it cannot be misinterpreted by the compilation process. For example, instead of this:

$authorNode = "<author><![CDATA[" . iwpt_dcr_value('handle.author') ."]]></author> \n";

Try this:

$authorNode = "<author><![" . "CDATA[" . iwpt_dcr_value('handle.author') ."]]></author> \n";

and see if that resolves the problem (once you've done it for all such cases).

I'm not positive this will fix your problem, but I seem to recall from the past that such directives (when intending to be generated in the output) often got interpreted as part of the PT and caused issues.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see the above message?

To me - it's usually a question of permissions.

What are some of the things you should do to verify permissions?
(I could provide a list - but you've been pinging the forums long enough that you should be able to provide the list yourself - can you?)
