accessing list within container

Renata

hello,
I am trying to display a list of links as defined by a user with this dct:

<container name="multi_links" combination="and">
<label>Links List</label>
<item name="links">
<label>Link</label>
<replicant min="1" max="6" combination="and">
<item name="label" >
<label>URL Label</label>
<text required="f" size="40"/>
</item>
<item name="url" >
<label>Link URL</label>
<browser initial-dir="." />
</item>
</replicant>
</item>
</container>

I have tried doing it in <iw_perl> with both iwpt_dcr_value(dcr.multi_links.links) and iwpt_dcr_list(dcr.multi_links.links) and it doesn't work.
I am calling this dcr with iw_load_dcr()

can someone point me n the right direction on how to access my replicant entries?

thank you

When you use replicants (and/or containers with min/max values as in TS6) you need to include the index value of the replicant (as if it were an array) when providing the address to these calls.

In your case, I believe it would be iwpt_dcr_value('dcr.multi_links.links[0].links');
(note: I'm not looking at documentation or any of my existing code right now - I believe the values are zero-based, but they might be one-based - if so, change the '[0]' above to '[1]')
In the second case - if you want to iterate through all the elements in your replicant, I think it should be: iwpt_dcr_list('dcr.multi_links');
