Here is the exact code you want. You should put it in the Application.cfm insted of
the index.cfm so it gets run regardless of what page the user starts out on (they
might have a hyperlink to another page).
<cflock scope="SESSION" type="readonly" timeout="10">
<!--- copy to Request scope whether or not the user is logged in, as defined by
the existence of a session variable. --->
<cfset REQUEST.isLoggedIn = IsDefined(SESSION.isLoggedIn)>
</cflock>
<cfif NOT REQUEST.isLoggedIn>
<!--- if the user has not logged in (ie, this code has not been run before) run
the code --->
[insert custom tag call here]
<cflock scope="SESSION" type="exclusive" timeout="10">
<cfset SESSION.isLoggedIn = 1>
</clock>
</cfif>
Now, when the page runs again, the session variable "isLoggedIn" will prevent the code
from running everytime.
If you're not clear on the concept of session scope or the application.cfm, please let
us know. It makes all the difference for understanding how this might work.
