Hi,
I was going to use the GenericTools with my Turbine projects, but I had
duplicated the functionality in my apps already so didn't. The velocity
tools project seems a bit like a hack for functions that should have been
included in velocity (like non-integer math) but weren't, and were just
tacked on to the outside. Maybe with Velocity 1.4 it will not be necessary
to use them. So I didn't use it in the end.
It's pretty easy to use though, just add a line to your
TurbineResources.properties:
tool.global.number = org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.NumberTool
And then reference it in your velocity templates:
$number.format('currency', 12345.67) to print $12,345.67 for example
I have no idea about the tools other than Generic tools.
HTH,
David

Has anyone managed to use Velocity Tools
(http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/) with Turbine? Seems like
Velocity Tools is hip on wanting to use its own servlet, so I'm wondering if
anyone has integrated it with the way Turbine uses Velocity.
Thanks,
