Page Content in Velocity

Last Updated: Aug 24, 2022
documentation for the dotCMS Content Management System

When Velocity code is part of any object which is displayed on a Page — including Containers, Templates, Widgets, and other content displayed on the Page — you may access information about the Page itself using the $dotPageContent object, one of three built-in content objects.

This object represents the Page content object of the Page where the content is displayed, and allows you to access the properties of the Page from within your Velocity code.

The following properties are available by default for all Pages. Some of these properties may not be available if you have intentionally removed them, and additional fields will be available if you have added additional fields to the Page Content Type being accessed.
