I have created a new site and I sharing a common files folder.

I need help with rending our out the title on the pages. If some one could screen share it would be great. I know it's something simple that I'm missing.

Thanks,
Ellen

    Hi Ellen,

    To clarify, are you referring to outputting the title of a page within it's content/markup or a <title> tag within the <head> section of the page's HTML?

    In general, you can accomplish this with a Format or by placing the <system-page-title/> system tag within your Template.

    If you want to go the Format route, you can accomplish this by:

    • Velocity: simply add $currentPage.metadata.title
    • XSLT: apply a calling page index block to the region along with a Format similar to: 
      <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/system-index-block/calling-page/system-page">
    <h1><xsl:value-of select="title"/></h1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Can we do a screen share? It is something else.

    Thanks,

    Hi Ellen,

    Generally when you are seeing the literal code output to the page, Velocity encountered an issue when attempting to execute it. In this case, I would verify:

    • The $page variable is being set correctly
    • Your page has content within the Display Name metadata field

    Also I wanted to mention it would be better to use $_EscapeTool.xml($page.getChild("display-name").value) instead of the Serializer Tool since you're only working with a text field and not a WYSIWYG field.

    If you would like, feel free to attach your Format and I would be happy to help take a closer look.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    It works on all my sites. It is not working on my new site? So I think the code is correct. I think it’s a setting.

    Anyway to do a screen share? It would make it go much faster and I can show you where it is working and not working.

    Thanks,
    Ellen

    Hi Ellen,

    Definitely sounds like there is a missing piece. My scheduled is pretty open today, let me know when would be a good time to set up a quick screenshare.

    Thanks!
