@SanfordWhiteman ,
my best guess is that @abrarkhandoker has a ; delimited list of registrations, that always ends in ;
By replacing the ; with '' and subtracting the two lengths, he's able to determine the number of events (a delta of 1 means one event). YUCKY!!!!!!
The section of matching *product-x* is to then generate each event output for each event that a person has registered for. Also yucky!
@abrarkhandoker why not convert the ; delimited event list into an array and use the count of the array to determine behaviour. You can then iterate the array to generate your final stage output as well. I've also placed the final stage output into a key map for scalability and separation (i.e., if you end up with 20 events - your approach becomes unmaintainable).
#set( $allEventDetails = {
"Product 1" : {
"blurb":"this some stuff about product 1 registration",
"date":"Wednesday, 11 November 2022",
"time":"10:30am",
},
"Product 2" : {
"blurb":"Wow - you're interesting in product two..wahoo",
"date":"Wednesday, 18 November 2022",
"time":"10:30am",
},
"Product 3" : {
"blurb":"So much threeness. It's got to be good for you",
"date":"Wednesday, 18 November 2022",
"time":"10:30am",
}
}
)
#set( $eventRegistrations = $lead.Field1.split("[;]") )
#if( $eventRegistrations.size().equals(1) )
Output some stuff
#else
Output some other stuff
#end
#foreach( $code in $eventRegistrations )
#set( $aEvent = $allEventDetails[$code] )
## maybe wrap a nice table around this stuff
<p>${aEvent.blurb}</p>
<p>${aEvent.date}</p>
<p>${aEvent.time}</p>
#end
I've written several times on the notion of 'set' and 'emit' tokens as well which helps simplify things. Do all the setting of your output variables in a set token, and then do the output in the emit tokens (the classic notion of separating data and presentation). In this case, your set token would be everything down to (and including) the line that does the split. The other two sections (the if and the foreach) are discrete and can be placed in their own emit tokens which is handy if you want other content between the initial output and the looped output.
My standard caveats apply:
- I've not tested nor debugged this.
- @SanfordWhiteman can probably do it better.
