Custom database query in nVelocity?

I'm trying to write a custom database query in nVelocity to output a custom value on an email template and I am having trouble figuring out how to access the database. In Ablecommerce 5.5, I was able to do the following:

Code: Select all

#set ($discountAmt = ${token.getcnnSG().queryValue("SELECT Price FROM ...")})
Is there an equivalent method in Ablecommerce 7.x?

I don't think so you can do that with NVelocity in 7.0. You should better create a conlib control, do what ever you want to do with database in the conlib control. Finally just include that control where you want to put nvelocity code. Have a look at following topic for custom queries. http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/Custom_Queries

Can I include ConLib's within email templates?
