Velocity tool box amp; VelocityEngine

amy

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a velocity template to send emails to clients after they've completed a booking. This works well
when I use the VelocityEngine! Now I need to format some dates in the template. I wanted to use the toolbox but I'm having some problems, see config below.

As far as I understood by configuring the tool box and pointing to a template the date formatter would be dropped into the velocity context? This doesn't seem to be the case amp; furthermore Velocity appears to be getting started twice. Can anyone help me on this?
