I set the value right before I hit the getSearchResult() method. <cfset session.tempobjectstore[stobj.objectid].bSearchPerformed = true /> > Your sites are awesome, are any of the ones on your portfolio page > using 5.1 and the farcryverity plugin? Thanks :). Compliments are greatly accepted. heh, I need to update my portfolio (I'll just mark that down in my long list of to-do's). Most of the FarCry websites I work on are actually behind firewalls (intranets mostly - personally I feel FarCry is better suited for external websites... in my experience most organizations with hundreds or thousands of documents on their intranet are better off using something like a CRM, but I find that quite often my clients seem to prefer FarCry once they've used it for their external website - I'm still looking for a good way to manage all these documents in FarCry though and have some new tools I've been designing that I might share with the public if I can polish enough). The most recent project I'm working on is a multi-department intranet site. I'm actually quite proud of this one and the client loves it. I really wish I could show off the intranets I've done in FarCry, however legal reasons won't allow it though. Of the ones you see in my portfolio, LGH is using FarCry 5.1 (but an older version of the verity plugin - I'm actually scheduled to update that soon. We are working on giving the site a CSS facelift first - due out in a few weeks). The FMRP website is using 5.1 alpha (there was something introduced in a later beta that breaks when run on the FMRP website - I just need to find the time to update the website code to support the official 5.1 release). The other public facing FarCry websites are older versions of FarCry (pre-FarCry 5) that have not been scheduled to be updated yet - most are due to be updated this summer (northern hemisphere summer). I've also rewritten most of my personal website and blog to use a custom version of the farcryBlog plugin on FarCry 5.1. I've even written an importer for importing data from blogCFC. The new site has been about 85% completed for several months now, but I can't find the time to finish the remaining 15% and get it live. I'm pretty pleased with new design though. Soon, I keep telling myself o_O.
