Re: CFDirectory Help
Thanks for the tip--this UDF is pretty cool. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem, for even if it returns false, the cfdirectory tag continues to be run, throwing an error when the directory exists. For whatever reason, I am having difficulty getting it to bypass this cfdirectory tag if the directory-existence check returns true. Any ideas? Thanks Joel >You can use a nifty UDF for this on CFLIB.

Re: CFDirectory Help
You can use a nifty UDF for this on CFLIB. Search for MakeDirectory or
Directory. It is a nifty addition.

CFDirectory Help
I have an upload form that writes files to directories which have the same name as the users uploading the files. I want to be able to check and see if the directory exists after the upload form is submitted, and if it does not exist, create it and then upload the file to it. Right now, I have this bit of code: It works like a charm if the directory does not exist. However, on subsequent upload attempts (after directory is created), I receive this error: The specified Directory attribute value C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\rootdir\usernamedir could not be created. The most likely cause of this error is that 'C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\rootdir\usernamedir' already exists on your file system. The exception occurred during a cfdirectory action="create". Obviously, I realize that the directory exists. How should I write my cfif statement so that it will bypass the "create" functionality of the directory does exist?

Performance tip: If you have a lot of users hitting the gallery pages, your hard drives will take quite a beating from all of the CFDIRECTORY accesses. Unless your gallery is constantly being updated, store the CFDIRECTORY result in an application variable. Then, all you have to do is check for existence of the application variable each time the page loads. If you are using CFMX, you can make this even easier by putting the code into a CFC.

Re: cfdirectory help - photo album
Yes. Don't do this. =) If you pass to the display page the forward and back values, and then click forward or back, how are you going to know what the next next or previous previous values are. I would instead suggest that on the display page you again do a cfdirectory, and then grab the previous and next files from the list on each display of the page. Just my 2 cents (having recently struggled through this very thing) Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/20/03 03:06PM >>> i am using cfdirectory to display some thumbnails. when a thumbnail is clicked - it then displays the larger version of the image. what i would like to do is pass a few variables in the link that will allow 2 more links to appear on the 'larger version' image page. those 2 links would be 'file before' and 'file after'. so, if you were to click the 'file before' link - you would see the image that sits in the same dir before the one you are looking at. if you were to click 'file after' you would see the image that appears right after the one you are looking at. pretty much your standard photo-album app but creating everything dynamically using cfdirectory. any suggestions? thanks. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Re: cfdirectory help - photo album
if i'm not mistaken, cfdirectory returns a query object. that being the case, you can manipulate the currentRow variable (+/- 1) to get the previous and next filenames. - Original Message - From: "Wurst, Keith D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 12:06 PM Subject: cfdirectory help - photo album > i am using cfdirectory to display some thumbnails. when a thumbnail is > clicked - it then displays the larger version of the image. what i would > like to do is pass a few variables in the link that will allow 2 more links > to appear on the 'larger version' image page. those 2 links would be 'file > before' and 'file after'. so, if you were to click the 'file before' link - > you would see the image that sits in the same dir before the one you are > looking at. if you were to click 'file after' you would see the image that > appears right after the one you are looking at. pretty much your standard > photo-album app but creating everything dynamically using cfdirectory. any > suggestions? thanks. > ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
