WARNING Use NVelocity to only control the layout. Don't use it as a programming alternative otherwise it will slow down your pages. If you want to customize some logic then its better to modify the ConLib controls or create new controls to meet your requirements.


The following nVelocity variables are available in scriptlets. Some variables are available only in a particular context.

Variable Type Comments
$store CommerceBuilder.Stores.Store Reference to the current store. Available for all pages
$customer CommerceBuilder.Users.User Reference to the current user. Available for all pages
$page System.Web.UI.Page The ASP.NET page object. Available for all pages
$Category CommerceBuilder.Catalog.Category Category object is available on category, product, webpage and link display pages and wherever a CategoryId parameter is available in URL.
$Product CommerceBuilder.Products.Product Product object is available on product display pages and wherever a ProductId is available in URL.
$Webpage CommerceBuilder.Catalog.Webpage Webpage object is available on webpage display pages and wherever a WebpageId is available in URL.

In the scriptlet code you can access almost anything using the above objects.
