[Geoserver-users] Freemarker template design

Hi

I have created a custom content template for a GS layer and would like to have the layer title above a list of results. I am using ${type.name} as used in the examples and that works fine.

I thought that ${type.title} might work - just throws a java error saying that type.title is undefined. Do I need to define something elsewhere, or am I just using the wrong code?

Thanks
Chris

Here is what you have in the object model given to the template, title is
not part of it:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/freemarker.htm

To modify the object model given to the template some java programming
would be needed,
I can give you references to the classes involved if you are interested

Hi Andrea

I suppose the quick win is to start off with a better name and use something like ${type.name?replace(?capitalize} I guess!

I can see benefits to having access to both layer title and abstract in the freemarker templates, one for the future perhaps?

Cheers
Chris
