1: Filesystem/HTTP Get objects as datasources
Posted by Sam Nicholson on 11/16/05 09:29 AM
I'm hacking around with gatekeeper to wrap some legacy cgis with oacs auth, and that is coming along well. What I need to do next is to use lines of text from a file or an HTTP GET as a datasource for the multiple or list adp tags.

Does anyone have an example of that they can point out?

Thanks!

something like this?

Once you have the data in a variable something like this would work:

template::multirow create data element
foreach line [split $html \n] {
template::multirow append data $line
# or
# lappend data $line
}

Works fine. Your hint reminded me of https://openacs.org/doc/acs-templating/demo/

Thanks again!
