Hi Guys,

I'm a bit confused on how to use custom columns with the new cfindex/
cfcollection functionality in 2.0

Previously, I would simply create a catalog by declaring it's name.

<cfcollection action="create" collection="my_collection">

And then, as I wanted to add data, I would simply use the cfindex
function. Here's an example of what I normally do.

                        <cfindex
                                action="update"
                                collection="my_collection"
                                type="custom"
                                key="#key#"
                                title="#title#"
                                urlPath=""
                                body="#variables# #other_variables#"
                                category ="#category_name#"
                                custom1 = "#date_created#"
                                custom2 = "#user_url#"
                                custom3 = ""
                                custom4 = ""
                        >

However, I want to take advantage of the unlimited custom fields
feature as I have a few catalogs that need it.

How do I declare the new columns? I was thinking I'd just name them
whatever I wanted in the cfindex tag, but that's not working for me.

Here's what I tried to do, to no avail.

                        <cfindex
                                action="update"
                                collection="my_collection"
                                type="custom"
                                key="#key#"
                                title="#title#"
                                urlPath=""
                                body="#variables# #other_variables#"
                                category ="#category_name#"
                                date_created = "#date_created#"  (date_created 
instead of custom1)
                                user_url = "#user_url#" (user_url instead of 
custom2)
                                custom3 = ""
                                custom4 = ""
                        >

Stumped. Any ideas on how to declare and use this new feature?
