Custom CF_ Tags

2000-08-11 Thread Chad

Im just starting to read the books about Custom tags, and im wondering if 
the file in the C:\CFUSION\CustomTags folder has to contain the actual code 
of the tag?

Or is the file there just to name the tag??

Thanks
Chad

The file has to contain the code. You pass data into the tag using the
Attribute scope and you return data using the caller scope.

Example:

sample.cfm
--
html
headtitle/title/head
body
cf_mytag attrib1="hello" attrib2="world"
br
cfoutput#mytag.success#/cfoutput
/body
/html


mytag.cfm
--
cfoutput#Attributes.attrib1# #Attributes.attrib2#/cfoutput
caller.mytag.success=true


Output:
--
hello world
true
