Hi Julian,
If you are on FarCry 4 FormTools [1] will make this a breeze!
You could use a list FormTool [2] and supply the ftListData argument.
Assuming dmHTML is the type you want to extend, ftListData will be the
name of a function in your project's dmHTML.cfc
(<project>/packages/types/dmHTML.cfc - you will need to create this
file). Your project's (new) dmHTML.cfc might look like this:
<cfcomponent extends="farcry.core.packages.types.dmHTML">
<cfproperty ftSeq="50" ftFieldSet="Page Zone" name="pageZone"
type="string" hint="????" ftLabel="This page's zone " ftType="list"
ftRenderType="dropdown" ftListData="getPageZones" />
<!--- see [2] but the list formtool expects a formatted list or
a query with two items: value and name --->
<cffunction name="getPageZones" displayname="gets a list of page
zones">
<cfset var qPageZones = QueryNew("value,name") />
<!--- Here you would add your own SQL to get the list of
zones from your other application --->
<cfquery datasource="????" name="qPageZones ">
SELECT pageZoneId as [value]
, pageZoneName as [name]
FROM tblPageZones
ORDER BY pageZoneName
</cfquery>
<cfreturn qPageZones />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Subject: [farcry-dev] Add a property to html pages
Sirs,
I need to add an extra property (populated from a select box derived
from a query on my trusted CF Banner system which I also want to
integrate.) This property is simply the page "Zone"
How do I do this and how do I pull it out again when a page is being
displayed?
Cheers
Julian
