Token for year?

Kim Gandy​

I have yet to experience an issue. 

However, I think there was one noted on the "View as webpage".

Can't recall the resolution specifically though...

[Kim_Gandy1]

To clarify, you experienced an issue on emails using "view as webpage"?

Geoff Krajeski​, can I run a scenario by you? Depending on the campaign, my team is cloning programs/emails or creating new. I know they won't remember to add script to each new program, and I don't want 2016 in any emails for the new year. In order to catch every email, does it make sense to:

1. Add script to all existing programs and input into existing emails.
2. Change year to 2017 in email templates in Design Studio. This would catch new program/email when user forgets to add script to new program.

I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but let me know what you think.

Kim, Velocity output in Web Page view has been irregular across instances. I wrote a well-warranted blog post about it -- only to have it be "fixed" in my primary instance within the next month. However, I haven't seen it regress in any instances once it got fixed, and according to Mkto engineering, it is expected to work (I assume there was a module loading order/omission problem on the instances that had the prob.

We have set up a bunch of inherited tokens for such things. Dates, Year, months, regionalised addresses. They'll trickle down and be available in all programs.

[Geoff_Krajeski1]

Yes, with the addition of global tokens (inherited) that would be the way to go!

I know I'm a bit late to the conversation, but $date.get('yyyy') works if added to the global footer HTML and Text fields under 'Admin > Email.'  That's one option of not having to update tons of assets and programs.

This seems to have stopped working for me. Anyone else experience this?

The New Year is Coming. Don't be "That Company" – Update Your Date!​

#set($timeZoneObject = $date.getCalendar().getTimeZone())
$date.format("yyyy", $date.getDate(), $date.getLocale(), $timeZoneObject.getTimeZone("EST"))

I just started using this script to get the date but suddenly realized it does not work when you click the "view this email as a webpage" link. I literally see the code.

Can someone else please verify this? Thank you

Open a Support case. Some instances don't execute Velocity in Web Page View due to a configuration error. Once fixed on the back end it'll be fine.
