In Context Edit for DCRs with in-context-edit-type="vpath" - Not working

Hi,

TS: 741 - Sitepubliser Incontext Edit Feature

I am trying to implement in-context edit for DCRs returned from my targetting component. I have path to DCR which i am passing to appearence XML to able to edit item. I have no luck with feature working for DCR path passed to it.

I get Edit enabled on in Page Edit for Item on component appearence, however nothing popsup when i click on same.

However i have same working for DCR Datum. ( This is default content when no dynamic result is returned ).

Here is what i have tried doing in my component.

I have tried all possibalities like select="/content/title" OR select="content/title".

The DCR(hero-image) i am using for test has just a Title Text field for now.

***********************************************

Please suggest , where i am doing wrong, i am following Sitepu Guide Page 110. Thanks in advance.

You can only in-context-edit something that is a datum in your component. You can't in-context-edit some random piece of content that came from the result of an external.

EDIT: Learned something new today..

Hi Poulin,

Thanks for your reply.

This something i am unaware of !!.. since the Guide specifies this below.

So i assume I can provide vpath to other DCR.. and as per below description it should work. ( Or this used to work earlier versions and deprected now ?

***************** PAGE 110 of TeamSite_7.4.1_SiteDeveloper_Rev0_en.pdf ********************

the relative path to the DCR. If you choose to set the relative path, you
must also specify an in-context-edit-type attribute for the span
element, setting it to “vpath”. This instructs TeamSite that the
in-context-edit attribute contains the relative vpath to the DCR. For
example:
<span in-context-edit=”templatedata/LiveSite/Content/data/
component-guide/Example_DCR.xml”
in-context-edit-type=”vpath”>
<xsl:value-of select=”//Content/Title”
disable-output-escaping=”yes”/>

That is still supported (shocked Rick didn't know about it)

But the value is somewhat limited. It works for simple DCRs, like in the component guide, but if you have replicants and/or FormAPI, the results are not consistent

Also, does the DCR have an extenstion of .xml? I know some features only work when teh DCR is specifically named blah.xml

Hi,

I definatley tried with file with .xml extension , did not work either. I fail to understand on what condition it fails.

What i am trying is ICE for Title Item which is essentially just under root container.

Also, on other comment you had on ( DCRs with FormAPI, may not work ), i question how does same work when used with Datum Type. I have this implemented for a other DCR which is used as Datum type and it has lot of FormAPI integrated to it.

Is there a specific oder i should avoid on DCT etc. I know its too late since i have already locked down on my DCT structure.
