[Autogen-users] xml2ag, loops in template

[Manuel H <mo...@co...>]

Hello!

This is my first post on the list, so i want to give a short
introduction on myself: i'm a software developer from Austria, mostly
working on Web-Applications. My first contact with AutoGen was whilst
devloping a TCL-Application, about one year ago. Since then i continued
to use this package on and on and am slowly discovering the benefits of
AutoOpts!

My current aim is to create an (unofficial) SQL-generator for the
Joomla!-CMS-project. For this, i'm using xml2ag (AutoGen 5.10 on Ubuntu
10) and discovered, that xml2ag probably hangs up when called without
any arguments.

But my current main problem is that i seem unable to loop through
definitions. I would be glad for any help on this. My XML definitions
are:

<website template="joomla-2.5.6.tpl">
	<defaults language="en-GB">
		<category status="published"></category>
	</defaults>
	<categories>
		<category title="News">
			Description
			<category title="Media"></category>
		</category>
		<category title="Internals">
			Description
		</category>
	</categories>
</website>

My Template is:

[+ AutoGen5 template sql +]
[+ (get "template") +]
[+ (get "defaults.language") +]
[+ IF (len "categories") >= 1 +]
	[+ # Loop through categories +]
	[+ # FOR categories.category +]
	[+ # FOR categories.category (for-from 0) (for-to (len
"categories.category")) +]
	[+ FOR categories.category (for-from 0) (for-to 2) +]
		[+ categories.category.title +]
	[+ ENDFOR categories.category +]
[+ ENDIF +]

Now the problem is that the template doesn't seem to loop through all
defined categories. Not the nested category-definition is the problem --
i tried it already. Please help me with what i've missed!

Thank you in advance!
