Velocity ${variables} referenced in generated markup

[Mark Orciuch]

Hello,

When I inspect the markup generated by dotCMS, I see some unresolved Velocity variables (for example, "${columnClass}"). I see a reference to "columnClass" in template.vtl but I am not sure where such variable gets set? 

Many thanks in advance.

Mark,

I think that is supposed to be set when using the Template Builder (it's an option there to choose the column type).

If you made your own and bypassed the Template Builder, I'd add something like to the top of the template.vtl:

#if (!$UtilMethods.isSet($columnClass))

#set ($columnClasss="column-default")

#end

Hope that helps.

Hi Mark,

Thanks, it makes sense now - I am using an advanced template.

So you probably need to add a ! to suppress empty output.  $!{columnClass} instead of ${columnClass}.

Where it is in your template code, I don't think we can assist with that. 

Hope that helps!

Hi Chris,

Sure, it does help. The biggest thing that I was missing is that this is related to using an advanced template.
