Hi Guys,
I too am having a little bit of a problem with the macros and i'm afraid i
didn't really understand much about how the file resource loaders work when i
looked at this page http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/developer-guide.html.
I have a working macro defined in menu.vm.
i've added
velocimacro.library = menu.vm
to my
velocity.properties.fileloader
but it doesn't appear to find my macro.
I the template I am just calling
#makemenu( $node "70%" 1)
do i need to do a #parse("menu.vm") ?
Thanks in advance
