For detail of more signatures of format method, you can check https://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/DateTool.html

For your ease,

$dateTool.format("dd-MM-yyyy",$user.getLastLoginDate())

displays last login date of user.

String representation of date in db and velocity variable could look different. Liferay provides formatted date in object model.

So in order to have this date converted to specific string format, you need to format the date in velocity template. There are util variables available in velocity template context for date.

The only other thing I can think of is the user object is a proxy (it's all built on hibernate), and perhaps the proxy cannot access the original value within the scope of a velocity template, but I'd hate to think that's even a possibility.

Otherwise the value should be there, not sure why it is not working.

I believe it depends on settings and as far as I know property
users.search.with.index=false
implicate that user should be search directly in DB. We have used this setting because of other liferay search problems.

Try rebuilding the indexes...

Liferay does not hit the DB for user objects, it goes to the local index. If the local index is out of sync w/ the database then sometimes you'll get oddball things like that.

Could also be the case that the last login failed date is not in the index at all, hence the failed value. In this case you'll need an index post processor to add the field so it gets stored in the index and returned when Liferay pulls the entity.

As I wrote above

Bartek Stanczyk:

second one is not set properly on vm level even if it is set properly in DB's user_ table. Can anyone please help me out? Thank You in advance,

there is problem with this value even if it is set properly in user_ table. For example :

What do you mean, 'proper value'? It's right there in the User object. Just invoke user.getLastLoginDate();

RE: LifeRay 6.2 & velocity variables

2014-07-25T12:12:30Z

That is the simpler part of the question , if anyone knows how to get to the proper value of getLastLoginDate of User object?

Thank You in advance.

RE: LifeRay 6.2 & velocity variables

The object is a Date and therefore will print per Date's toString().

There used to be a DateUtil or DateTool object stuffed in the context (it's been awhile since I've used it) that you could use for specialized printing, but I don't know if it's still there.

For the conditional one, you'd determine if it is not null and only then print something out (same as you would do conditional logic in your java code).

Hello,

I'm wondering how can I access and format properly, particular vm variable - user's getLastLoginDate and getLastFailedLoginDate. With my observation, first one format is unchangeable in vm template, second one is not set properly on vm level even if it is set properly in DB's user_ table. Can anyone please help me out?

Thank You in advance,
