Good question :) I was trying to save and retrieve content blocks from
database based on event and view, and use it as display arguments in the
view.
But now, I don't need the view name any more. I decided to do it by just
event name. Still, I think it might be good to have a method to retrieve the
view name (I don't have a use case any more though).
Also, thanks to Joel for pointing to xPath. Here is what I ended up doing.
I will have an xml file with the definition of all the event-args that will
come from the database.
<event-args>
<!-- Global, available on all events -->
<event-arg name="pageTitle" value="" >
<event name="*" />
</event-arg>
<!-- Event Specific -->
<event-arg name="confirmationText" value="" >
<event name="user.list" />
</event-arg>
<!-- Generic, available only though getDBEventArg() -->
<event-arg name="someText" value="" />
<!-- Two - in - one -->
<event-arg name="sometext" value="" >
<event name="*" />
<event name="user.list" />
</event-arg>
</event-args>
Now I will use a pre-event plugin point to retrieve the data and inject
event-arg in to the event. xPath makes the search very easy:
<cfset eventName = event.getName() />
<cffile action="read" file="#ExpandPath('../config/dbEventArg.xml')#"
variable="dbEventXML" />
<cfset dbEventXML = xmlParse(dbEventXML) />
<cfset eventArgNodes =
xmlSearch(dbEventXML,"event-args/event-arg[event[(@name='*')or(@name='#eventName#')]]/@name/")
/>
Comments are welcome...
