Getting values from multi select option in presentation template

Hi,

I have a multi select option in dcr. I want to reterive all the multi selected values in the presentation template.

I tried the following option but was not successful :

1) tried to split the selected values and put it in an array , but getting error :

my @myValues = split(/\,\s/, iw_dcr_value('dcr.my.form.dropdown'));

2) Through the second way i am able to get the selected values, but the selected values are comming together ( comming as a single word), PT is taking the multi-selected values a single word.

my @teamsArray = iwpt_dcr_list('manager.team_name');
foreach $teamName(@teamsArray)
{
iwpt_output(iwpt_dcr_value('$teamName'));
}

Please tell me how to get the multi-selected values in the PT.

Thanks in advance,
A.S.

Your code *should* work, here is what I use:

[html]

my $amenities = iwpt_dcr_value('Room.Amenities');
my @AmenityList = split( /,/, $amenities);

{iw_value name='Amenity'/}

[/html]

For the second example - try:

my @teamsArray = iwpt_dcr_list('manager.team_name');
iwpt_output(join("<br />\n", @teamsArray));

Hi Nipper,

Thanks for you reply.

I tired with the approach suggested by you, but was not successfull.
From the multi-select option i was only getting the first selected option, other selected option were not comming.

Also , i printed the variable in which i was getting the values selected in the multi select option, but i was getting the first selected option.

ex:-
my $amenities = iwpt_dcr_value('Room.Amenities');

I printed the values in the variable $amenities, but i was getting only the first selected option.

I think the iwpt_dcr_value does not works with multi select option as it gives only the first selected option.

I am not sure where i am wrong.

Please provide some pointers to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
A.S.

Hi Ghoti,

Thanks for you reply.

I tried with the approach suggested by you, but was not successful.

Through the approach suggessted by you , i was getting multi-selected values as a single word with Array[001234] attached with that.

For ex if the two selected options are : ABC and xyz. I was getting output as:
Array[00123}ABCxyz

Please suggest me how to get values from multi-select option in a presentation template.

Thanks,

Make sure you've used iwpt_dcr_list with the correct Access String Argument, not iwpt_dcr_value.

Ghoti remark is dead on, we use similar code everywhere for multi-selects. If you still have an issue,
post your DCT and the relevant TPL fragment

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using the iwpt_dcr_list with the correct Access String Argument but not successfull.

Following is the code i am using :

my @teamsArray = iwpt_dcr_list('manager.team_name');
iwpt_output(join("
\n", @teamsArray));
foreach $teamName(@teamsArray)
{
iwpt_output(iwpt_dcr_value('$teamName'));
}

With this i am getting values from multi-select but all selected values are comming as single word and with TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x574908).
But i am getting output as :

for ex : if the multi-selected values are MNO Team, XYZ Team, ABC Team.

I am getting out put as :

TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x574908) TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode=ARRAY(0x47ef70)MNO TeamXYZ TeamABC Team

I am unable to find where i am wrong. Please give some pointers to resolve this issue.

Try changing:

 iwpt_output(join("<br />\n", @teamsArray));

to:

 iwpt_output(iwpt_dcr_value($) . "<br />\n) foreach @teamsArray;

Based on what you posted, it seems that
manager.team_name is an array of nodes, not an array of values.
