Re: Velocity Dynamic Content Sorting

Jayant_Singh · ‎05-22-2020

I have added the code in three ways

1. Full code at top after debug no change in previous email design.

2. Both end statement at last after debug nothing display.

3. Putting both end statement before output the ${outputName} and got below design

I'm not sure you're putting the code in the right place.

If you put that code in a Velocity token (in Script Editor) it'll give you a full debug dump of all the fields in the given list, with their names, values (or null) and datatypes.

Jayant_Singh · ‎05-22-2020

This is the one script product name where I added the code at the top.

<html>
<body>
<table>
#set( $coList = $pro_cList )
#foreach( $record in $coList )
#foreach( $kv in $record.entrySet() )
{kv.getKey()} ${display.alt($kv.getValue().class,"")} ${display.alt($kv.getValue(),"null")}
#end
#end
## start product name select
<tbody>
#set( $DEFAULT_Product = "No item in list." )
<tr>
#if( $pro_cList.isEmpty() )
#set( $outputName = $DEFAULT_Product )
#else
#foreach( $pro_c in $sorter.sort($pro_cList, "date:desc") )
#if( !$display.alt($pro_cList["productName"],"").isEmpty() )
#set( $outputName = $pro_c["productName"] )
#break
#end
#end
#set( $outputName = $display.alt($outputName, $DEFAULT_Product) )
#end
<td>
${outputName}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

is code placement is incorrect?

It's very surprising to me that you're outputting the entire email from a single Velocity token. That's not usually — well, basically, it's never done.

Please reduce the "testing surface" so that you're only outputting the product list (using my debug code) from VTL. Don't mix in anything else, put everything else in the template.

Jayant_Singh · ‎05-22-2020

I am using only the debug code and removed everything from VTL.

#set( $coList = $pro_cList )
#foreach( $record in $coList )
#foreach( $kv in $record.entrySet() )
{kv.getKey()} ${display.alt($kv.getValue().class,"")} ${display.alt($kv.getValue(),"null")}
#end
#end
${coList}

In the template, I am using {{my.VTL}} to debug it now. is it ok now or need to add code more?

SanfordWhiteman · ‎05-22-2020

That's seems like the right start.

So what's in the output?

You have a typo.

{kv.getKey()}

is supposed to be

${kv.getKey()}

Also, can you please do this in the Text-only version of the email so the line breaks are preserved? 🙂 Kind of impossible to read otherwise.

Hi Sanford,

I was wondering if you have gone through the debug code and please let me know the details.
