Dear Scripters,

I'm adding XML with a selection to an container with scriptlabel (CS5) but the next frame with another label giving me the error
"this content is already tagged".

What am I doing wrong?

var mydocument = app.activeDocument
var myXMLroot = mydocument.xmlElements.item(0);  // The root always exists
var b = myXMLroot.xmlElements.add("FirstXMLObject");




selection = app.selection[0];  


for (var i=0; i<document.allPageItems.length; i++)
{


var pageItem = mydocument.allPageItems;
if (pageItem.label == "test")


{ 
b.xmlElements.add({markupTag:"test", xmlContent:selection});
}


else if (pageItem.label == "test1")
b.xmlElements.add({markupTag:"test1", xmlContent:selection});
}

Greetings.

Correct answer Vamitul

var mydocument = app.activeDocument;
var myXMLroot = mydocument.xmlElements.item(0); // The root always exists      
var b = myXMLroot.xmlElements.add("FirstXMLObject");
var pageItems = app.selection;
for (var i = 0; i < pageItems.length; i++) {
  var pageItem = pageItems;

  if (!pageItem.hasOwnProperty('label')){ 
  //this assumes the user knows what he is doing, 
  //and the labels are correctly applied to elements that can be tagged
    continue;
  }
  if (pageItem.label == "test") {
    var c = b.xmlElements.add({
      markupTag: "test",
      xmlContent: pageItem
    });
  } else if (pageItem.label == "test1")
    var d = b.xmlElements.add({
      markupTag: "test1",
      xmlContent: pageItem
    });
}

var mydocument = app.activeDocument;

var myXMLroot = mydocument.xmlElements.item(0); // The root always exists    
var b = myXMLroot.xmlElements.add("FirstXMLObject");


//allItems returns pages items nested inside groups, and those afaik can't be tagged.
var pageItems=mydocument.pageItems.everyItem().getElements(); 


for (var i = 0; i < pageItems.length; i++) {




  var pageItem = pageItems;

  if (pageItem.label == "test") {
  var c = b.xmlElements.add({
  markupTag: "test",
  xmlContent: pageItem
  });
  } else if (pageItem.label == "test1")
  var d = b.xmlElements.add({
  markupTag: "test1",
  xmlContent: pageItem
  });
}

So much to learn, thanks Vamitul.

Is it possible that its only adding tags on an selection and not the whole page?

Hi,

I wrote this a while back and I think it does what you want. Give it a go.

// Because this is using the scrip label we need to force the DOM version to 6.0

app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < myDoc.pageItems.length; i++) {
    try {
        if (myDoc.pageItems.item(i).associatedXMLElement.markupTag.name != myDoc.pageItems.item(i).label) {
            myDoc.pageItems.item(i).associatedXMLElement.markupTag.name = myDoc.pageItems.item(i).label;
            }
        }
    catch (error) {}
    }
app.scriptPreferences.version = 10.064;

The script looks at all page items and changes the tag name to match. However, it does have a shortfall if you are using tags on more than one page item and the page items are named different. It won't crash but it will use the last instance of the item name so you'll end up with different tag names for the previous items in those cases.

Hi Brett,

That's also an possibility only I have test and test1 and more script labels. This script names al the tags as test.

Thank you though for the reply, I'm going to search further!

Have this now but now he is doing very strange with my selection.

var mydocument = app.activeDocument  

var myXMLroot = mydocument.xmlElements.item(0);  // The root always exists  
var b = myXMLroot.xmlElements.add("FirstXMLObject");  
  
  
  
  
for (var i=0; i<app.selection.length; i++)  
{  
  
  
var pageItem = mydocument.allPageItems;  

if (pageItem.label == "test")  
{ 
var c = b.xmlElements.add({markupTag:"test", xmlContent:pageItem});
}  
  
  
else if (pageItem.label == "test1")  
var d = b.xmlElements.add({markupTag:"test1", xmlContent:pageItem});  
}
