UDF's my friend. Of course you must have CF5. Check out cflib.org for some good examples of user defined functions. Kevin -Original Message- From: Mario Martinez R.

RE: Coldfusion function
if you are using CF 5, you can create a UDF like this
function myFunction()
{
}

Re: Coldfusion function
The answer to your question is yes. Maybe. What version of Cold Fusion Server are you running your pages through? Cold Fusion Server 5.0 has UDF (User Defined Functions) which perform just like functions in any language. But what you are talking about with the template sounds more like you want to reuse the entire template, not just a little snippet of code. There are two main approaches in CF for this. Including the file (CFINCLUDE) or creating a custom tag/module (CF_NEWTAGNAME or CFMODULE). If you go the include route, you should check out a development methodology called Fusebox. It helps a lot to keep these pieces and parts seperated and easy to find and reuse.

Or an include file... if your template makes use of CF Tags and client output. UDFs are good in most cases, and include files are good in others.

RE: Coldfusion function
An include file is the same thing as the code being inline - so if you set a variable before the include, it's available to the included template. However, for cleaner encapsulation, I'd go the custom tag route. --- Billy Cravens -Original Message- From: Mario Martinez R.

RE: Coldfusion function
Yes , I think it's the other option in CF4.5 . Checking my book , it sounds custom tags to be good enough. I let you know if I got grab in the way.

RE: Coldfusion function
I agree with Billy. Custom tags offer the most in terms of flexibility and portability. There are some minor gotcha's with them, but as long as you treat them as a descrete function (i.e. it 'kinda' spawns a new thread (no new thread really, but doesn't have access to all the resources the calling page does - unless you code for it), then you should be fine. If you're familiar with custom tags, then you're well on your way. If not, then you're about to see how flexible CF can be One thing I try to do is to NOT use the REQUEST scope just so a variable is available in a custom tag. That's equivalent to making your variables global, and that can lead to all kinds of other headaches. I prefer passing my information to the custom tag as an Attribute. However, that said, there are always exceptions to the rule...
