Re: Is It possible, Custom Tag Question
Thanks all, I'll give this a shot, worst case i can set it up on our dev server and run it as a webservice with a CFC wrapper. We only need to use the tag once for sure but in case the client wants to use it later on we need to have a plan. jonese On 11/16/05, Snake [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That is how custom tags work by default.

Re: Is It possible, Custom Tag Question
As far as the CFX tag, I don't think so. Someone else could probably give you the technical reasons why. And the Excel file, can you save it as a CSV file first, then read it using cffile? Then you could use one of the CSV to query custom tags (CF_ not CFX_) on cflib to turn the data into a query jonese wrote: Is it possible to use a CFX tag file without actually registering it in the CFIDE?

Custom Tag question
Hi, I have a custom tag. It needs to have access to a UDF that I've created. The UDF is stored in a file called application_udfs.cfm which is CFINCLUDED in the application.cfm file of my application. Here's my problem: 1. If I run the page as is, my custom tag fails saying that the 'Variable ForceLinkTargetBlank Is Undefined'. 2. If I do a CFINCLUDE in my custom tag to include that application_udfs.cfm file (so it can see the UDF), I get this error: Routines cannot be declared more than once. The routine ForceLinkTargetBlank has been declared twice in different templates. I'm stumped. I know this is something simple, but I guess it being a Friday afternoon it's escaping me. Any ideas on how I can debug this thing and figure out what's going on?

RE: Custom Tag question
Typically I have my udf library included - I have a check to first see if
that 'definition' already exists - that way I'm guarenteed to not include
multiple 'udf libraries' w/in any document like this
cfif not(isdefined('request.udf_SomeFn'))
cfscript
Function udf_SomeFN()
{
}
udfs...
/cfscript
Setting of all udf's to request vars
cfset request.udf_SomeFn = variables.udf_SomeFn
/cfif
Works for me ;)

Barney, Thanks for that, Dan, but I'd actually mistyped. I wanted the closing tag to still execute, just skipping the body.

Re: Stupid custom tag question
That sounds like it might work, but it makes the conditionals kind of nasty, because sExMode = end and thistag.ExMode = end is different than sExMode = end and thisTag.exMode = start. So you'd need a four-way conditional, in addition to a check for start mode at the top to check whether you should do the logic to see if you can set sExMode = end becuase the cached version exists. I think the UDF version is cleaner, because it keeps the logic flowing in the usual way, it's just using a UDF to help reuse some code. And perhaps more to the point, that code is already written, tested, and running. ;) cheers, barneyb On 8/25/05, Dan G.

Re: Stupid custom tag question
By referencing thisTag.generatedContent, you could possibly do what you want. This is taking the following for granted: 1) Start tag is cf_myTag 2) Body of tag is [in between start and end] 3) End tag is /cf_myTag By setting thisTag.generatedContent to i.e: Nothing, then what you have in between will not be written out. That doesnt mean it wont be executed though. I would set an attribute to determine when you need to output and when not to. Therefore: cfparam name=attributes.executeBody default=true cfif thisTag.executionMode EQ Start !-Always skip cause generated content insnt available until end of tag-- cfelse Perform your work cfif NOT attributes.executeBody cfset thisTag.generatedContent= /cfif /cfif holds through.

Re: Stupid custom tag question
Thanks for that, Dan, but I'd actually mistyped. I wanted the closing tag to still execute, just skipping the body. Not surprisingly, I was also writing a caching tag, the difference being that the cached content were generated Flash movies, so the output operation (which takes place in the close tag) is rather cumbersome and I didn't really want to UDF it so I could call it in both starting and ending tags. However, I ended up doing exactly that, and it'll work. Just seems like a bit of a language shortcoming to me. In psuedo-code: cfif thistag.executionmode EQ start cffunction name=writeFlash !--- generate EMBED, OBJECT, PARAM, etc. --- /cffunction cfif cached cfset writeFlash() / cfexit method=exittag / /cfif cfelse !--- do cache the generated movie --- cfset writeFlash() / /cfif cheers, barneyb On 8/24/05, Dan G.

Custom Tag Question
I'm working on a custom tag to somewhat automate the auditing of database changes for an application and I have a dumb question - In the start section of the tag I am storing the current values into a structure, then my idea is to requery the table at the end section and compare the two to create the audit records to be created. However, do I need to do anything special to make sure that the structure is maintained between the start and end tags? For example, cf_audit action="" table=users RecordID=3 cfquery name=qThisAction datasource=#DSN# UPDATE Users SET Name='This', Username = 'Testing' Address = 'Whatever' WHERE users_id = 3 /cfquery /cf_audit This would be a lot easier to take care of if I was on a SQL Server environment, triggers would be perfect for this.However this is running on a MySQL datasource, hence the lack of SP's and triggers.I've got the start section creating the structure that has the original values of the record. I'm just hoping that I'm doing the structure correctly. Ideas? Thanks! Hatton --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Evaluate is right - but when the evaluation is run, it's run in the context of the custom tag, not the calling template. The tag has no idea what get_data is unless you pass it. In your example below, you did not pass it, so it can't use the query.

I am trying to write a super simple custom tag but im running into problems getting CFQuery information into the custom tag. Is it possible to pass Query data into a custom tag? Yes. The trick is evaluating it before passing it, you can't pass it by reference. It becomes an attribute of the tag. cf_theS query=#getProductList# From within the tag, you can reference the query as #ATTRIBUTES.query#. I recommend copying it to local scope for ease of typing.

It becomes an attribute of the tag. cf_theS query=#getProductList# From within the tag, you can reference the query as #ATTRIBUTES.query#. I recommend copying it to local scope for ease of typing. I think it's worth pointing out that, when you say: query=#getProductList# you are passing the query by reference. Queries and structures are passed by reference, while arrays and simple types are passed by value. When something is passed by reference, there's only one object, but multiple names that point to the object. It's also worth noting that you could reference the query from within the custom tag without passing it at all, so if you did this: query=getProductList you could reference it within the custom tag like this: Caller.getProductList However, I prefer the first approach myself.

[Custom Tag Question] ThisTag.GeneratedContent...
Please tell me if the following is possible, and how: I want to stifle the output of the area between cf_MyTag and /cf_MyTag. Here is a simplified example: I the following output: Hello World, I do want to display this sentence. ### Calling script ###: cf_MyTag Hello, World, I do NOT want to display this sentence. /cf_MyTag ### MyTag.cfm (custom tag) ###: cfoutput#ReplaceNoCase(ThisTag.GeneratedContent, 'do NOT', 'do')#/cfoutput Currently, this displays: Hello, World, I do NOT want to display this sentence. Hello, World, I do want to display this message. (Obviously, I don't want the first sentence displayed.) Is this best handled by cfsetting cfoutputonly=yes, or is there another way that's already built into the custom tag framework? Thanks, Jamie ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: [Custom Tag Question] ThisTag.GeneratedContent...
In the end portion of the tag you need to set ThisTag.GeneratedContent to nothing. Do this after you output what you need to output.

RE: Custom tag question
if I understand correctly. The application might be. cf_products method=display query=all #itemid# #productname#br img src=#productimage# hr /cf_products == products.cfm == cfif thistag.executionblah is 'start' Our Product Catalog.br cfelse cfquery blahbah/ cfoutput #thistag.generatedcontent# /cfoutput /cfif Hmmm. I could see a use for this. output specified within the body of a tag. Don't think it works though ... (hang on I will try it later), maybe this is a wish list item. Right now you have to correct me if I am wrong specify the variables as caller.varname to pass back to the calling template from the customtag. and the assigned variables would be available throughout the entire document (or even possibly overwrite existing variables. yikes.)

Custom tag question
I've been going through my CF 4.5 documentation on writing custom tags. I know that you can nest additional tags within a custom tag like so: cf_CustomTag attribute1="this" attribute2="that" cftag... another cftag... /cf_CustomTag But I just can't find anything on something simpler. For instance If I want to wrap a fairly complex text string around the custom tag and have that processed in the custom tag template, how do I refer to it? For instance if I use a custom tag like this: cfset var = "text" cf_customTag Long #var# string with variables embedded... /cf_CustomTag How do I capture what is nested within the tags into a variable in custom tag template? Will it be possible to resolve the string so that a variable can be assigned "Long text string with variables embedded..." within the template? Does anyone have any ideas?
