Rachel, Attached are files that implement a simple custom type. It is older code, and not I have doing things anymore, but you will get the sense of how it operates. If I were to make changes, I would eliminate the e11CustomType, and have pqTripType inherit directly from types.cfc, and simply <cfimport> the display functionality in e11CustomType as needed. Also note that this was written for FC2.3.
Here is the gist.
<cffunction name="edit">
<cfargument name="objectID">
<cfif NOT StructIsEmpty(form)>
<!--- calls inherited save/update functionality --->
<cfset saveSuccess = setData( form )/>
<cflocation ....>
<cfelse>
<!--- calls inherited get/select functionality --->
<cfset stObj = getData(objectID)
<cfform>
<cfinput name="label" value="#stObj.label#"/>
<cfinput name="customTextField1"
value="#stObj.customTextField1#"/>
<cfinput name="customTextField2"
value="#stObj.customTextField2#"/>
<cfinput name="customTextField3"
value="#stObj.customTextField3#"/>
<cfinput type="submit" name="save" value="Save"/>
</cfform>
</cfif>
</cffunction>
Have a look at some of the simple built-in (fact, link, etc) types for
more details. Avoid PLPs until you get the hang of simpler types. We
are using Flash Forms w/tab-groups, so that allowed us to avoid the PLP
issue entirely.
