ServerName in Velocity

[Rafael Morales Gamboa]

Hello,

I have edited header-snippet.vm in sakai/portal/portal-render-engine-mpl/impl/src/webapp/vm/morpheus/snippets, replacing

<span class="Mrphs-headerLogo--institution"></span>

by 

<a class="Mrphs-headerLogo--institution" href="https://${serverName}"></a>

I have done that inspired by the code 

<li><a href="mailto:${alias.getId()}@${serverName}" title="$tlang.getString("lis.sendmailto") ${alias.getId()}@${serverName}">${alias.getId()}@${serverName}</a></li>

in sakai/mailarchive/mailarchive-tool/tool/src/webapp/vm/mailarchive/chef_mailbox-List.vm

However, in my code ${serverName} is not replaced by the value of that property in sakai.properties. Is there anything else I need to do?

Regards,
Rafael

Hey Rafael!

You're mixing sakai.properties with velocity context attributes, unless you put in the context an attribute called "serverName" it will never be accessible through the VM template.

Here's an example of what you're missing:

https://github.com/sakaiproject/sakai/blob/master/portal/portal-impl/impl/src/java/org/sakaiproject/portal/charon/SkinnableCharonPortal.java#L1961

If you want to display the "serverName" value in the template, you have to put it in the context in the method that builds the context of your template.

rcontext.put("serverName", ServerConfigurationService.getString("serverName"));
