Field size referenced in Velocity

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

Hi,
(I’m just experimenting with transferring XSL templates to Velocity)
I’d like to display a chunk of HTML in a Velocity template, if there is something in a content editor field. In XSL I would do something like:

"…if test=“string-length(*/somefield)>1” >Display my HTML…

I realise I no longer refer to XML in Velocity. Could someone indicate how I do a test on the length of a string field?

I experimented with the #field macro but without luck so far

Cheers,

Geoffrey

Try

#if($sys.item.getProperty(“rx:somefield”).String.length() > 0)

Thanks - that works fine.
