Hi Ralph,
As you specified a xf:group/@ref, everything inside this group starts from that
point (you keep the context)
You can try this - the node you want to repeat is your context node ('.' With
Xpath ) :
<xf:group id="pers" ref="instance('template')/listPerson/person">
<label>So this bit now works!</label>
<xf:repeat id="repeat" nodeset=".">
[…]
</xf:repeat>
[…]
</xf:group>
Or - you change your xf:group/@ref for the parent node listPerson, and you
repeat the child node person :
<xf:group id="pers" ref="instance('template')/listPerson">
<label>So this bit now works!</label>
<xf:repeat id="repeat" nodeset="person">
[…]
</xf:repeat>
[…]
</xf:group>
Same idea for the repeat of occupation, as you already start from the node
person, you just need to write : @nodeset=‘occupation'
For the repeat, I think, at the beginning, you should be verbose to understand
how it works :
<insert context="."
origin="instance('template')/listPerson/person/occupation"
nodeset="occupation"
at="index('repeat-occ')"
position="after"
ev:event="DOMActivate" />
To simplify, @context = your evaluation context (the node person in that case),
@origin = the node you want to copy (you can take it from another instance),
@nodeset = your target for the copy (here your will copy a new occupation node
after (@position=after) the node occupation (@nodeset) with
position()=index(‘repeat-occ’) (@at='index(‘repeat-occ')') )
Let’s try and keep us informed.
Best,
Josselin.
