Retrieving DCR Path in FORMAPI

Using formapi im using callserver to run a perl script. I need to know in this perl script the path of the dcr. Is there a way of retrieving the path in formapi? or even the name of the dcr so i can work it out?

thanks

Hi James,
I use in PT-templates this:
$entire_name = iwpt_get_dcr_name();
$directory = iwpt_get_dcr_name('dirname');
$only_dcrname = iwpt_get_dcr_name('basename');

May be it helps
regards

James,

I have the same issue. did you find a solution to your problem?

Smeeta

here is something you can do. You can register a handler for the event onSaveNameSpecified. The function that you invoke on this handler receives a parameter that will give you the entire path to the dcr.

here is the code

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveName Specified", SetDocEA);

function SetDocEA(vpath) {

alert(vpath);
return true;

you will notice that vpath provides the entire path to the dcr.
}

Does this code have to be in TPL file?

I made a small perl script called inline from the datacapture.cfg to do this. Here's the code:

#!/usr/interwoven/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w

my ($iwbranch, $iwworkarea) = ($ENV{'IW_WORKAREA'} =~ /(.+)\/WORKAREA\/([^\/]+)/);

my $iwdct = $ENV{'IW_DCT'};
my $iwrole = $ENV{'IW_ROLE'};
my $iwuser = $ENV{'IW_USER'};

print << "EOT";
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<substitution>
<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[
var iw_dct = "$iwdct";
var iw_role = "$iwrole";
var iw_user = "$iwuser";
var iw_workarea = "$iwworkarea";
var iw_branch = "$iwbranch";
]]>
</script>
</substitution>
EOT

#
# IW_DCT: The file system path to the datacapture.cfg in use (for example, /iwmnt/
# default/main/development/WORKAREA/maudlin/templatedata/press/events/
# datacapture.cfg).
# IW_ROLE: The role of the current data capture user (for example, editor).
# IW_USER: The full user name of the current templating user (for example, andre).
# IW_WORKAREA: The vpath to the current workarea (for example, /default/main/
# development/WORKAREA/chris).

Current role is already available via formapi but i implemented it here anyway.

enjoy, Paul
