All the time!
I use one cfc that returns a list of office locations. Simple enough right.
Well this same cfc is used by 10 different sites and in each case the output is
some what different. To me, a list of offices is a list of offices sure we
may have different output versions for example a 2 column output, a list out
put, and output with an image to the right or an output with an image to the
left, but the list is still a list. So we use a single cfc and pass arguments
that help us control the output. Here's the good thing, If we add another
"display" version it's available to anyone of the sites.
I use cfc not for objects but for extreme code reuse. With most of mysites, as
much as 70 percent of the code is reused code, not copy and past but shared and
reused.
True, the functions have, in some case 50 attributes but to me its worth it.
Here's sample of the function and arguments.
<cffunction name="displayListOffices" hint="I return a list of offices">
<cfargument name="id_office_cat"
<cfargument name="id_firm>
<cfargument name="itemsOut>
