Displaying data using nVelocity variables

Will · Post by **Will** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 4:04 pm

I am having difficulty figuring how to display product data in a scriptlet using nVelocity variables. I understand the concept and can get the ones you list in the documentation to show up just fine.

How do I figure out what other variables are available on a particular page?

I looked in the programmer.pdf you guys reference, but was unable to get it to work.

Example, on the product page, I assume we can pull in the value from a custom Merchant Field using an nVelocity variable. Looked at the "Product Object" chapter and couldn't see how the examples there map to nVelocity variables.

Thanks.

Me too!

That must be for the AC55 product, because AC7 has no equivalent reference. We will have a reference put together as soon as beta 2 is completed. This would display all merchant fields:

#foreach($tf in $Product.TemplateFields)
#if ($tf.InputField.IsMerchantField)
${tf.InputField.Name}: $tf.InputValue<br>
#end
#end

Hopefully that will get you in the right direction until a more comprehensive list of properties can be provided.

Your right, I was looking at the AC5 doc. Didn't occur to me that there wasn't one yet for AC7.

Sorry about that...

Hello Will,

It's very rough, however here's the API reference guide. It should get your Nvelocity variable questions handled.

Thanks -- this really helpful.
