FP taglig
Hello,
I try to find other examples of <FP> than the little one that comes with
Cocoon.
There are "add" & "edit" example, but "delete" is missing !
And what about more complicated examples ?
Thanks for your help.
Sébastien

if your problem is writing the following "cell" elements, or something similar
<row>
<cell>1</cell>
<cell>2</cell>
<cell>3</cell>
</row>
i think you should try to do something like
for( int counter = termsList.size() - 1; counter >= 0; counter-- ) { // iterate over the list of cells
if( counter < termsList.size() - 1 ) { // write the n cells, n>1
<fp:resource id="current-article">
<fp:resource-file><xsp:expr>fileNamePath</xsp:expr></fp:resource-file>
<fp:resource-node>/journal/article/classification/term[ ancestor::article/@id='<xsp:expr>queryKeyPass</xsp:expr>' ]</fp:resource-node>
<fp:default-mode>insert-before</fp:default-mode>
</fp:resource>
<fp:write to="current-article" select=".">
<fp:child>
<xsp:expr>String.valueOf( termsList.get(counter) )</xsp:expr>
</fp:child>
</fp:write>
<fp:commit id="current-article"/> // a way to force a 'save' on the xml file
}
else { // write the first 'cell' element
<fp:write to="journal" select="./classification">
<fp:child/>
</fp:write>
<fp:write to="journal" select="./classification/term">
<fp:child>
<xsp:expr>String.valueOf( termsList.get(counter) )</xsp:expr>
</fp:child>
</fp:write>
<fp:commit id="journal"/>
}
}
it may be a bit crazy, but it works.

there is a way to delete nodes: you have to use 'remove' as "default mode" when creating the resource (i discovered it while looking at the code of the taglib). imho, the code of the taglib is not very clear. e.g.: to delete a tag, you have to write the following
<fp:resource id="edited-journal">
<fp:resource-file><xsp:expr>fileNamePath</xsp:expr></fp:resource-file>
<fp:resource-node>/journal/article[ @id = '<xsp:expr>articleID</xsp:expr>']</fp:resource-node>
<fp:default-mode>remove</fp:default-mode>
</fp:resource>
<fp:write to="edited-journal" select="."/>
maybe this is due to a lack of structure in the way things are set up.

i definetly agree on that. recently, i had to use it to let users edit an xml file. i have extended the taglib to meet my needs:
- 'commit' changes over edited trees, without having to wait for the end of the code
- 'create' a new file
- write a node, along with its attributes and not just a 'flat' node
(it would be great, to find a way of writing an entire tree fragment)
but - actually - i am not sure that a fix is the better solution.

Hi,
I've been trying out FP and would like to edit a spreadsheet with it. My
problem is that all my cells have the same name of "day". So I would
like to map all the "day" values in the reply sequentially to all the
cells of the same name in the xml spread sheet. Any ideas - or is this
another one for the future?
Regards,
Pete Hargreaves.

FP really needs an overhaul, you identified the problem areas :)
I'd delve into it, but I am still not quite sure if it is "the right
thing to do". I think we need two things:
1) a programmatic XML editor (some of which FP does)
2) a GUI-based XML editor (which should use the programmatic editor
behind the scenes)
So we need to put some kind of hooks/interfaces/API on top of the
programmatic editor, preferably in a way that an external GUI-based
editor can be used (XMetal or such). If I had had any clue, I'd have
taken a stab at it :)
