You can't do it using the CF_ notation for custom tags, but you can if you
use CFMODULE. The name attribute of CFMODULE uses the custom tags
subdirectory as its root, then uses dot notation to specify subdirectories.
For example, I have a custom tag called wrap.cfm stored in the custom tags
directory (D:\CFUSION\CustomTags). By default, I could call it using
<CFMODULE NAME="wrap" TEXT="#string#">. Alternatively, I could put a
subdirectory for rking and yfeng in the custom tag directory -
D:\CFUSION\CustomTags\rking and D:\CFUSION\CustomTags\yfeng. I could call
these custom tags using the dot notation : <CFMODULE NAME="rking.wrap"
TEXT="#string#">.
In the Application.cfm, you could set a variable (CFSET CustomTags="rking.")
to denote the developers subdirectory, can call custom tags like <CFMODULE
NAME="#CustomTags#wrap" TEXT="#string#">.
There is an interesting article about this in the April edition of CFDJ.

I have been trying to find a good solution to this problem for years... Once
again, I am noodling over it.
I have a development server which multiple developers use. Each developer
has their own directory and we use Visual Source Safe. This way, developers
check in and out the files for the application we are all working on and use
their app server directory as their working directory. Finally, there is a
seperate directory for daily "builds" which we can show and tell.
This application uses custom tags heavily. Now, the way CF finds its custom
tags is either in the current directory of the calling template, or in the
directory specified in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\CustomTags\CFM
LTagSearchPath
This is a problem. Either I have to organize all my CF files into one
directory, which sucks since this app is quite big, or I lose code
portability and version control by making all developers put their custom
tags in D:\CFUSION\CustomTags.
The question: IS THERE A WAY in an application.cfm file to set the custom
tag search path local to only the calling template? If I have directories
D:\Web_Root\rking\ and D:\Web_Root\yfeng, and each has an application.cfm
file (for the same app, just different working directories), then I want
each one to have ./customtags subdirectory, so that any template executed in
D:\Web_Root\rking would look first in D:\Web_Root\rking\customtags for a
custom tag if called and likewise in D:\Web_Root\yfeng would look in
D:\Web_Root\yfeng\customtags for a custom tag if called from within that
directory scope.
If only there were a CF variable I could set!
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
