multi-select foreach

Here's my code and it works fine except when a staff member has 2 dept values - it only uses 1...

#set ($pages = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/system-page"))

#set ($depts = ['Application Support and Operations','Audio Visual and Video Conferencing','Business and Academic Solutions','Business Operations','Client Support Services','Clinical Informatics','Digital Media Production','Enterprise Systems and Infrastructure Services','Healthcare Security','Information Management','Information Security','Information Technology Support','Infrastructure and Collaboration Services','Innovation Zone (IZone)','Network Services','OIIT Leadership','Project Management','Software Development and Integration','Strategic Support Services','Technology Training','Telecommunications','Visual Interaction Design','Web Development'])

#foreach ($dept in $depts)
$dept
#foreach ($page in $pages)
#set ($dname = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($page, "dynamic-metadata[name = 'department']/value"))
#set ($path = $page.getChild("path").value)
##
#if($dname.value == $dept)
#if(!$path.contains("base-assets"))
$page.getChild("name").value
#end
#end
#end
#end

How do I have the staff member show up under every dept he's a part of?

thanks as always!!

Hi Nando,

What you can do is tweak your code slightly so you can use XPath to filter all pages that have a department that matches the current one within the loop. When you have a moment, give the following a try for starters:

#set ($pages = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/system-page"))

#set ($depts = ['Application Support and Operations','Audio Visual and Video Conferencing','Business and Academic Solutions','Business Operations','Client Support Services','Clinical Informatics','Digital Media Production','Enterprise Systems and Infrastructure Services','Healthcare Security','Information Management','Information Security','Information Technology Support','Infrastructure and Collaboration Services','Innovation Zone (IZone)','Network Services','OIIT Leadership','Project Management','Software Development and Integration','Strategic Support Services','Technology Training','Telecommunications','Visual Interaction Design','Web Development'])

#foreach ($dept in $depts)
  $dept
  #set ($pagesInDept = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($pages, "dynamic-metadata[name = 'department']/value[. = '${dept}']"))
  #if ($pagesInDept.size() > 0)
    #foreach ($page in $pagesInDept)
      #set ($path = $page.getChild("path").value)
      #if(!$path.contains("base-assets"))
        $page.getChild("name").value
      #end
    #end
  #end
#end

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

That just gave me all the Departments...

The code above was used when i was hiding/showing full departments - I moved to hiding/showing staff members based on their dept now (sorry!).

but I would still like to know how to do it bc I'll need it for something else...

thanks again!

By apologies, Nando, there was a typo in my proposed code. When you have a moment, please adjust the following line:
to:
```
#set ($pagesInDept = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($pages, ".[dynamic-metadata[name = 'department' and value = '${dept}']]"))
```
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Hi Nando,

In general, it looks like you are on the right track. I made a few tweaks to your format:

#set ($pages = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/system-page"))
#set ($depts = ['Application Support and Operations','Audio Visual and Video Conferencing','Business and Academic Solutions','Business Operations','Clinical Informatics','Digital Media Production','Enterprise Systems and Infrastructure Services','Healthcare Security','Information Management','Information Security','Information Technology Support','Infrastructure and Collaboration Services','Innovation Zone (IZone)','OIIT Leadership','Network Services','Project Management','Software Development and Integration','Telecommunications','Visual Interaction Design','Web Development'])
#macro (sanitizeDeptName $deptName)
  $deptName.replaceAll("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/","").replaceAll(" ","").replaceAll("[(]","").replaceAll("[)]","").replaceAll("[.]","").toLowerCase()
#end
##
#set ($all = $depts.size())
##$all
#set ($half = $all / 2)
##$half
#if (($half % 1) < .5)
  #set ($num = $half - ($half % 1))

  #set ($num = $half - ($half % 1) + 1)

Def looks cleaner but I'm getting this error:

An error occurred while rendering asset preview: Encountered "#sanitizeDeptName" at templateValidation[line 28, column 29]
Was expecting one of:
    "[" ...
    "{" ...
    "(" ...

    "true" ...
    "false" ...

My apologies, Nando. When you have a moment, try changing line 28 to the following:
```
#set ($deptname = "#sanitizeDeptName($dept)")
```
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

that was it, saw it after I posted - thanks!

that macro is still giving me trouble in the divs below:

#foreach ($dept in $depts)
        #set ($deptsClassName = "${deptsClassName} #{sanitizeDeptName($dept.value)}")
      #end
    #end
    #if(!$path.contains("cascade"))
      <div class="$path card ${deptsClassName}" style="float:left;min-height:145px;display:none;">
        $fname
      </div>
    #end

the dept names aren't being "sanitized " - they're outputting like this:

<div class="/oiit/video-conferencing/staff/data/clavier-gina card  #{sanitizeDeptName(Audio Visual and Video Conferencing)}" style="float:left;min-height:145px;display:none;">
        Gina
      </div>

Thank you for following up, Nando.

Let's try the following and let me know how it works out:
```
#set ($deptsClassName = "${deptsClassName} #sanitizeDeptName($dept.value)")
```
If that doesn't work, try replacing the single line with multiple:
```
#set ($deptsClassName = "${deptsClassName} ")
#set ($deptsClassName = "#sanitizeDeptName($dept.value)")
```
Also, when outputting ${deptsClassName}, let's do ${deptsClassName.trim()} do remove extra whitespace.

As a side note: you may want to rethinking outputting the path of the as a class name because I am pretty sure slashes are not valid for that attribute. Perhaps you can use a data- attribute, or replace all slashes with hyphens.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

path was just there temp - took it out.

this worked! thanks

#set ($deptsClassName = "${deptsClassName} #sanitizeDeptName($dept.value)")

Can you actually explain whats happening here ^^ I know the macro is sanitizing the dept name but how are you setting a variable with the same variable...

Also, you were wrapping the staff divs in the dept foreach which we didnt need anymore plus that would just duplicate staff members but its so much cleaner now, thanks to you! this is my code now:

#set ($pages = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/system-page"))
#set ($depts = ['Application Support and Operations','Audio Visual and Video Conferencing','Business and Academic Solutions','Business Operations','Clinical Informatics','Digital Media Production','Enterprise Systems and Infrastructure Services','Healthcare Security','Information Management','Information Security','Information Technology Support','Infrastructure and Collaboration Services','Innovation Zone (IZone)','OIIT Leadership','Network Services','Project Management','Software Development and Integration','Telecommunications','Visual Interaction Design','Web Development'])
#macro (sanitizeDeptName $deptName)
$deptName.replaceAll("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/","").replaceAll(" ","").replaceAll("[(]","").replaceAll("[)]","").replaceAll("[.]","").toLowerCase()##
#end
##
#set ($all = $depts.size())
##$all
#set ($half = $all / 2)
##$half
#if (($half % 1) < .5)
#set ($num = $half - ($half % 1))

#set ($num = $half - ($half % 1) + 1)

Thank you for following up, Nando. Glad to hear the latest change did the trick.

Can you actually explain whats happening here ^^ I know the macro is sanitizing the dept name but how are you setting a variable with the same variable...

We're just doing some simple Velocity string concatenation here, by setting the variable's value to it's current value PLUS the output of the macro.

I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.

Have a great day!
