a co-worker and i were having a ...conversation about fusedoc'ing
recordsets. we've got an app, called as a custom tag, that handles our
checkout process. as you can imagine, the 'order' query and the 'cart' query
hold quite a fiew fields, and are still open to field additions. there are
24 files in the directory, and they are nearly all involved in manipulating
those recordsets or detecting processes based on the data in those
recordsets.
still with me? good.
that means that nearly all, if not all, of these files must contain the
outline of the order and/or cart queries in the fusedoc.
<recordset name="order">
<string/number/boolean> (repeat oh, 75-100 times)
</recordset>
<recordset name="cart">
<string/number/boolean> (repeat oh, 75-100 times)
</recordset>
that's a lot of code to update when i add one field to the select list on
either query page.
i'm thinking we need some way to externally contain fusedocs for large
recordsets or commonly called variables across an application or directory,
and a way to refer to these external sources. granted, you won't have the
outline of the query there immediately when you open the file, but- and hear
me out- after maybe a couple weeks, you'll be used to looking for that other
filetype or prefix. after a few months, there will be no files that refer to
or have available these queries that also contain out-of-date fusedoc
outlines of the recordsets.
<recordset src="docQryOrders.cfm"> or <recordset src="qryOrders.fd2">
contained in either <in> element (for pages that process the queries) or the
<out> element (for query pages to define by).
comments? suggestions?
i'm still waiting, erki, to hear back on how to get into the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
thanks!
