PO RTF Template: Multiple attachments(long and shor text) displayed once

Question

Hi
I have a RTF template for PO output communication program. These are the issues i am facing. could someone help.
1) The template does not display multiple short text elements for each line number. It only displays the first attachment.
<LINE_SHORT_TEXT>
<LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW>
<PO_LINE_ID>54015</PO_LINE_ID>
<SHORT_TEXT>short text 1</SHORT_TEXT>
</LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW>
<LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW>
<PO_LINE_ID>54015</PO_LINE_ID>
<SHORT_TEXT>short text 2</SHORT_TEXT>
</LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW>
</LINE_SHORT_TEXT>
In the template this
<?for-each:LINES_ROW?><?sort:LINE_NUM;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
<?LINE_NUM?> <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
2) The template does not display the multiple attachments(long text) for each line number. It only displays the first attachment.
</DISTRIBUTIONS_ROW>
</DISTRIBUTIONS>
</LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW>
</LINE_LOCATIONS>
</LINES_ROW>
</LINES>
<LINE_ATTACHMENTS>
<TEXT>long text attachment which is 2nd note.</TEXT>
<ID>53995</ID>
<TEXT>see this 5th long atta</TEXT>
<ID>53995</ID>
<TEXT>long text 1</TEXT>
<ID>54015</ID>
<TEXT>long text 2</TEXT>
<ID>54015</ID>
</LINE_ATTACHMENTS>
In the template i am doing this
<?if: PO_DATA/LINE_ATTACHMENTS/TEXT !=''?>
<?for-each:LINES_ROW?><?sort:LINE_NUM;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
<?if:LINE_NUM!=''?> <?concat('Line Number ',LINE_NUM)?> <?end if?>
<?variable@incontext:PoLnID;'PO_LINE_ID'?>
<?/PO_DATA/LINE_ATTACHMENTS/ID[child::text()=$PoLnID]/preceding-sibling::TEXT[1]?>
<?end for-each?>
3) Also I want the Total amount to be printed on the last page but the total amount header should still be there on every page and has "Continued" text when it has multiple pages.
4) Also the Text File attached to PO is not seen in the PDF PO. is there anything for it do ?
Please help
Thanks

Answer 1

Hi Tim,
You are quite right... I'm trying to associate each of the text attachments with the proceeding ID.
I've simplified it (sorry, I hadn't turned on the monitoring of the forums) in the following forum post:

BTW, thanks for your blog. It's been very helpful.
Cheers,
