Getting Items from a replicant inside of Perl

hugenbdd

Hello
I'm trying to access a replicant item within a presentation template, inside of the IW_Perl tags. What I'm trying to do is see if there is any values inside of the tags and copy them to a variable. The code below is what I have tried and I just can't seem to get it to work.

foreach my $lists (iwpt_dcr_lsit('dcr.Sublinks.URL'))
{
my $URL = iwpt_dcr_value('lists');
iwpt_output("$URL");
}

This is very similar to what is in the Templating developers guide on page 140, but I can't seem to get it to ouput anything or assign any value to the $URL variable. My Replicant just consists of two Items URL and Name but I only want to get the URL out of the replicant Item. Any help here would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks
Dave

First of all, the function is "iwpt_dcr_list", not "iwpt_dcr_lsit".

Secondly, is "dcr.Sublinks.URL" the replicant item? From the rest of your message, it sounds like "dcr.Sublinks" is. The replicant item should be the node you are iterating over, since it is the only kind of node that has multiple sub-nodes. So, I think what you really want is:


foreach my $lists (iwpt_dcr_list('dcr.Sublinks'))
{
my $URL = iwpt_dcr_value('lists.URL');
iwpt_output("$URL");
}
