If that works that would be great. I tried it, but maybe I am doing
something wrong.
In the JSP world, in order to use an el function you need to declair
it at the top of the page like this:
<%@ taglib prefix="uni" uri="UniFunctions" %>
When I put this at the top of a Freemarker page, it just gets printed
out to the page as text. So that does not work.
I tried declaring it in the JSP page before the freemarker template is
called. Then I called the el function like this in my template.ftl:
${uni:phone(session.USER.customer.phone)}
This spews out a nasty error. Freemarker complains that it does not
know what to do with uni:phone.
