Delimiting and #arraymap: with a newline

[tosfos]

There is an old thread about getting the <gallery> tag to work with
SF:
http://groups.google.com/group/semantic-forms/browse_thread/thread/6c4efae5255ada34/a84c94a6ee3c6b5c?lnk=gst&q=gallery#a84c94a6ee3c6b5c

Reviving an old topic, there may be some possibilities here for anyone
who still needs it. I'm one of them. :)

There is now a #tag: parser function which could help. It would
work something like this:

{{#tag:gallery|
Image:Example.jpg
Image:Example2.jpg
Image:Example3.jpg
Image:Example4.jpg
Image:Example5.jpg
}}

Translating into Semantic Forms, the template definition would look
like this:
{{#tag:gallery|
{{#arraymap:{{{Photos|}}}|,|x|Image:x}}
}}

I haven't tested the above code but it should be the right idea. The
only reason why this does not work is because I can't get #arraymap to
delimit with a newline character in order to match the gallery tag's
syntax. Any ideas for this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

{{#tag:gallery|
{{#arraymap:{{{Photos|}}}|,|x|Image:x|<nowiki>
</nowiki>}}
}}

I thought this would work too but for some reason it's no go. Unless
I'm messing something up. Thanks!

One of the nice things about DPL is that it respects "\n". Although
this can be a pain for debugging (the wiki code can get complex) its a
nice feature to have. I don't know how technically difficult it would
be to implement in #ask: and/or #arraymap.

The alternative is to stick newlines in templates with something like

Template:n
<includeonly>
</includeonly>


The <includeonly> tags should perform the same (guaranteed?) function
as the <nowiki> tags in the previous example.

I think you should then be able to say something like ...

{{#tag:gallery|
{{#arraymap:{{{Photos|}}}|,|x|Image:x| {{n}} }}
}}


If that doesn't work, I'm sure #arraymaptemplate should.

Thanks Dan!

The template trick didn't work but after some playing around, I got
#arraymaptemplate to work. Here's the basic code for anyone who needs
it:

In the template definition:
{{#tag:gallery|
{{#arraymaptemplate:{{{Photos|}}}|GalleryNewline|,|}}
}}

In Template:GalleryNewline
(a blank line goes here)
File:{{{1}}}

I tried some more routine and obvious tricks in the template but this
is the only I could get to work.

Be careful. Every time you edit Template:GalleryNewline, it will
remove that blank line. I think there's a way to prevent that, but
this works for now.

Again thanks to everyone.

That's awesome!

It's great that you managed to get this working, despite all obstacles. :) There should be an easier solution soon - I changed the parsing of #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate a while ago so that "\n" represents a newline in the "delimiter" value, but for some reason I never made that same change in the "new delimiter" value. It's a very simple change, that should go into the next version of SF.

Thanks Yaron. Looking forward to it. :)

Hi,

I am using header tabs in a page and partial form for editing. After I finish editing a field under a specific header tab (say the third header tab) and save the form, the page returns to the first header tab. Is there any way to make the saved page still keeps in original working header tab?

Thanks,

-Guoqian

Hmm. Probably not...
