Re: Custom Tag, Caller Scope + Application.cfc
In your Application.cfc, place your query in a persistent scope (which depends upon context). Change the custom tag to take the query in as an attribute. Change the custom tag calls to include the attribute, passing in the persistent scope var. Or, if you really can't change the custom tag (youch)... in the calling page, create a variable that references the persistent var (ie: VARIABLES.adQuery = APPLICATION.adQuery). This isn't good practice at all, but it will place a reference to the needed var that the custom tag can then access without change.

Long no post. I'm currently working on a module to a an existing, sprawling site that has grown without much planning to a size that was never anticipated. One of the things I need to do to build my module is switch the existing application.cfm to an application.cfc so that I can use onRequestStart. No big deal But there is one issue that comes up through that. In application.cfm, they have query the DB for some data regarding site-wide advertising. Just standard cfquery stuff. Then on the pages, they use a custom tag to actually display the ads. Now, as soon as I move the queries into the onApplicationStart method in the application.cfc, the trouble starts. The custom tags throw an error. Variables available to it before through the caller scope is now not available anymore. The cheating way out is to just grab the queries, stick them into their own file and use cfinclude on the pages that advertise. Is there a way - without changing the custom tag - to include the queries in the application.cfc that will still let the custom tag have access to the variables? Thanks in advance.

Re: custom tag and javascript question
How your cf is set up does little to effect how the javascript will communicate with other forms. JS will traverse your page in the usual way. The fact that one form is in a different file than another form doesn't matter to JS since by the time it gets to the client browser it's all one page as it were.

Re: custom tag and javascript question
CF simply outputs any content in the file, it does not automatically make any decisions about what to display unless you have defined this with if/else block or switch/case statements or are dynamically generating the content. The other thing that could stop content being displayed is a cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=yes or a cfsilent Also as you are using custom tags you can block the content with thistag.generatedcontent so i would check your code for all these possibilities Russ On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 6:49 PM, Michael Grant mgr...@modus.bz wrote: How your cf is set up does little to effect how the javascript will communicate with other forms.

Re: Custom Tag (etc.) libraries online?
Those are the first two sites I would check as well. There are other sites targeted at selling tags that cost money, if your needs aren't met by the free and open source offerings. I highly doubt that you will find what you are looking for on free CF tag sites. Most companies that offer professional-looking AJAX grids sell them for hundreds of dollars. If you upgrade to CF8 or CF9 you get a new grid control that has paging support. It is likely the easiest one to implement that you will find. The other path is to look at AJAX libraries, such as ExtJS or jQuery, both of which have good grids that support paging. My advice would be to upgrade to CF9 and see if that grid works for you. It will be the easiest one to implement for someone who knows ColdFusion. You know you want to upgrade anyway. If you have already ruled out that option, the next easiest good one to implement is a jQuery grid.

Re: custom tag content displaying twice
I'm not sure why it does that but there is an easy way to avoid it. That is not to close the tag properly in XHTML style, just use instead of /: This will give you double output: cf_mytag / This will give you single output (more expected result) cf_mytag I think that is because the first case is equivalent to cf_mytag/cf_mytag and this triggers coldfusion to execute the script twice.

just do cfset thisTag.generatedContent = / in the end tag? CF has to do one or the other (render the output or suppress the output), and then provide a means to accomplish the other.

Re: custom tag content displaying twice
Barney, Well, as I said, in this case the prinicple of least surprise would have effused a behavior wherein the page calling the custom tag would not have rendered the content, leaving that responsibility to the tag itself. In _my_ mind, anyway. I mean, if the tag is supposed to receive the content, the calling page really has no business rendering the content again. And not being able to stop it from being rendered again is a serious drawback. I mean, think of the lowly EM tag. It takes the input and renders the content in italics (or whatever). The browser doesn't then render the content again UNitalicized, correct? It trusts the EM tag to take care of its business. Isn't that the way a tag should work? I'll try your suggestion, below, but I've already gone the less elegant route of using cfsavecontent around my content and pushing the resulting variable as an attribute into the now-self-closing custom tag.

CF has to do one or the other (render the output or suppress the output), and then provide a means to accomplish the other.

Re: custom tag content displaying twice
The custom tag isn't rendering the content again, YOU are rendering the content again. If you create an empty custom tag and invoke it, you'll get a single copy of the output. If you then add emitting of the generated content in the custom tag, you'll get two copies. So building up from the nothing case, you can see that you should expect double output if you're doing outputting explicitly. The EM tag in HTML is rather different, because it's being interpreted as a formatting directive, not executed as code. A better example would be CFQUERY, where the generated content (the SQL statement) is not emitted to the page output. If you were to reimplement a simplistic CFQUERY, it might look like this (using some magic helper functions for brevity): cfif thisTag.executionMode EQ start cfparam name=attributes.dsn default=#application.dsn# / cfelse cfset sql = thisTag.generatedContent / cfset thisTag.generatedContent = / !--- we don't want the SQL emitted --- cfset result = runQueryOnDsn(attributes.dsn, sql) / cfif structKeyExists(attributes, name) cfset caller[attributes.name] = result / /cfif /cfif cheers, barneyb On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Mik Muller ad...@montaguema.net wrote: Barney, Well, as I said, in this case the prinicple of least surprise would have effused a behavior wherein the page calling the custom tag would not have rendered the content, leaving that responsibility to the tag itself.

Re: Custom Tag Paths
Hey Adam, You probably have a good handle on what's going on in your environment... certainly better than I do, given that I'm only hearing about it second hand. I just thought I'd throw out that I was a bit confused when I first discovered that CF will throw a template not found error if you get some *other* kind of error like a db or syntax error occuring while executing the Application.cfc onMissingTemplate() method. I'm thinking it's possible (although I would think unlikely) that something like this might be happening in your environment with the custom tags. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 781.769.0723 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312592 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Custom Tag brain fart
To write back, you use the Caller scope. cfset caller.result = x The preferred method is to make the result key dynamic. That way you don't accidentally overwrite stuff in the caller. So for example: cf_mytag x=1 y=2 result=result cfoutputThe result was #result#/cfoutput Inside the CFC you can do: cfparam name=attributes.result default=result type=variableName (lots of logic here) cfset caller[attributes.result] = result Once done you can then do: cf_mytag result=resultA cf_mytag result=resultB etc On 7/24/06, James Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just written a quick custom tag and can't remember how to get info out of them (been a while).

Yes, it will be dead for a long time too since too many other worries. I know these developers rather well and just would be VERY, VERY, and VERY surprised if they managed to write these. I found one reference to a tag call online but that was it. Guess it is plan B, bypass mode. :) On 7/12/06, Bobby Hartsfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's looking like they may have wrote them.

Re: Custom Tag with auto cfoutput
CFQUERY is not a custom tag, it's a full blown CF tag, which is basically a cross between [primitive] CFOUTPUT and CFSAVECONTENT to get the SQL statement, and then a bunch of database interaction stuff. It also deals with CFQUERYPARAM, of course. If you do go with something similar to what I outlined, you'll want to set up a RAM disk (check your OS docs) to minimize the filesystem usage. And you'll want to do heavy caching of the query results, because it's still going to be hella slow for CF to have to write/read/compile/execute every single query statement. cheers, barneyb On 10/25/05, John C.

Re: Custom Tag with auto cfoutput
Yeah, gotcha on cfquery. Just wasn't sure if there was something under the hood I didn't know about. Well, the tag won't be used too often (not trying to reinvent the wheel) so it doesn't need to be an enterprise version but your suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'll look into these things.

RE: Custom tag knows coldfusion child tags?
This is a long shot, but is there anyway a custom tag can know about coldfusion built-in child tags? For example: cf_mytag cfoutput query=qryBlog startRow=10 maxRows=20 /cfouput cf_mytag Is there anyway my custom tag cf_mytag know that it has has child tag called cfoutput and the child tag has an attribute called startRow with a value of 10? No, I don't think so. Custom tags can know about child custom tags, because those tags can explicitly report data back to the custom tag, which can then receive it with CFASSOCIATE. But everything else just ends up generating content - your custom tag can read the generated content, of course, but that occurs after the tags have run. When the code between the opening and closing custom tags is running, the custom tag itself isn't running. The only way I can think of by which you might be able to do this, is through exception handling. Within an exception handler, you can reference the tag stack and information about each tag within the stack. Within your closing custom tag, you'd have to throw an exception, catch it, read the tag stack, and continue processing. I have no idea whether this will actually work, though.

Setting of all udf's to request vars

Re: Custom Tag Occlussion
Look for more than one Custom Tag Path defined in CF Administrator that contains a custom tag with the same name-- perhaps even two definitions of the same path. Unfortunately, ColdFusion doesn't have a true definition of an application to which it can bind a specific Custom Tag Path, so all are available to all CF applications. There are a couple of ways to resolve this, though. One way is to use CFIMPORT (available in CFMX) to assign a specific a namespace to each custom tag directory, which will eliminate occlusion, but because CFIMPORT is a compile-time directive, you can't use a variable in the path to the directory, so they must all be hard-coded and can be annoying to change when migrating from server environment to server environment.This also means that you must copy the CFIMPORT directive to each and every page that calls a custom tag, which is another hassle. But our favorite method of resolving this is to use CFMODULE with the Template syntax (as opposed to the Name syntax).This lets you declare once in a configuration file a variable containing the path to the directory that contains your custom tags for a specific application, then use that variable in all your calls to CFMODULE. We even created a drag-and-drop utility named cf_2CFMODULE that automatically converts all cf_ syntax calls to CFMODULE syntax calls, and even closes empty custom tag calls to eliminate closing tag mismatches in the converted code (just make sure to code your custom tags properly testing for ThisTag.ExecutionMode so the code doesn't run twice). The converted code will use a write-once constant named Application.customTags that contains the path to the custom tags directory. Since this is a write-once constant, you don't have to lock it in CFMX.You can do a search-and-replace for your CF5 application to change this to Request.customTags to get around having to lock access to this variable in CF5. We created cf_2CFMODULE for our upcoming Plum product, but you can use it for any ColdFusion application.Just make sure to heed the warnings about backing up your source code first.You can get a free copy of cf_2CFMODULE here: http://www.ProductivityEnhancement.com/download/cf_2cfmodule.zip Hope this helps.

Re: (custom) tag to convert text to html
Frederik, Is there an easy way to automatically convert text out of a database into html? We have an application in different languages where some text elements are in the database. Now we have a problem with French since it uses a lot of '' and '', which need to be converted to a character entity for proper display in html. Does anybody know of a (custom) tag that can do this automatically? What database are you using? This shouldbe handled by the DB quite happily if you have the correct character encoding set up on your web pages and, in some cases, in your database.

Re: (custom) tag to convert text to html
Stephen, Database: MySQL 4.014 In the mean time I noticed that when I cfdump the query that the special characters are already messed up. I used phpMyAdmin to enter the French sentences, and when I look and the content with phpMyAdmin, it looks ok (special characters are ok). So it must be something that happens when CF receives the query. To be honest, I don't know how to set up a character coding set in the database.

Once a form is submitted, I want to: 1. Make sure the form data meets certain requirements (required, alphanumeric, whatever...). 2. If there's an error, redisplay the form with the original responses filled in. 3. Highlight the field that had the errors. 4. Display the error messages *near* the field that had the error. So, my proposed solution uses a custom tag, cf_validate, that requires two attributes, the variable and the variable name. A number of optional attributes indicate how the variable needs to be tested. For example, to validate the form data for form.foobar: cf_validate VariableName = foobar VariableValue = #foobar# Required = yes StringType = alphanumeric If there's an error we set three variables: 1. caller.form_type = error 2. caller.foobar_class = error 3. caller.foobar_message[] = error message Form_type is a flag that tells us to redisplay the form (instead of inserting/updating the record). My form elements are set as list items, so Foobar_class sets the class to li class=error (so I can visually note the error). And the array, foobar_message[], displays any existing error messages. I'm planning on looping through the array and displaying them in a numbered list so the user knows exactly how many ways they suck. So, on my whiteboard, it looks like it works, but that's a lot of code and debugging to go through for it to end up not being possible. Am I missing any big obstacles? Is it categorically impossible?

RE: Custom tag for data validation - tell me if I'm crazy
Definitely possible. I've built a product very similar (http://www.electricsheep.co.nz/terraform/). If I were you I'd consider using XML to store all the form field validation data in one packet at the top of the form or something like that. Of course that would effectively restrict you to CFMX only. I'd recommend adding a caption to the fields too - a human friendly version of the field name. And I'd definitely consider adding regex validation + the ability to add a catchall custom error message for each field. -Original Message- From: Austin Govella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 12 February 2004 2:06 p.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom tag for data validation - tell me if I'm crazy I'm working on a modular way to validate form data and display error messages across all of my applications.

RE: Custom Tag / Include Location question
How would I go about putting each set of files into their own directory without breaking the application? I assume for Tags That's the rub - I can describe how I'd set it up, but you will need to do some reworking to get stuff done. I can setup a Custom Tag Path in CFAdmin, but for the includes and the tools ... if the tools call the includes and I simply add the path using a global find and replace will I have any issues because of them being in different physical locations? Should I use a CF Mapping to each of the tools and includes directories? I'd use a mapping, and I'd also use it for your custom tags and just switch to using cfmodule.

So, for example, I have my MX installed into a cfusion subdirectory of my server instance, so my CT directory path is: [jrun_install_path]/servers/[servername]/cfusion/WEB-INF/cfusion/CustomTags HTH, Dave. _ Get MSN 8 and enjoy automatic e-mail virus protection. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus ~| 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

RE: Custom Tag Question
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. Did you pass it and just forget to include it in your example below? === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: John Stanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 12:27 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom Tag Question All, I need to pass a portion of a conditional statement to a custom tag, like cf_thistag condition=get_data.summary_id eq 263012 then in the custom tag I wanna do something like cfoutput query=attributes.queryname cfif attributes.condition neq cfif #attributes.condition# then do this cfelse otherwise do this /cfif cfelse do this /cfif /cfoutput I have tried: cfif attributes.condition cfif #attributes.condition# cfif #Evaluate(attributes.condition)# adding the cfif into the attribute like cf_thistag condition=cfif get_data.summary_id eq 263012 and then doing #Evaluate(attributes.condition)# or #attributes.condition# no luck, i keep getting an error saying cannot convert the value 263012 eq 263012 to a boolean.

RE: Custom Tag Question
That is because you did not pass the query to the custom tag, but the name of the query. You can fix this two ways. 1) In your custom tag, do cfoutput query=caller.#attributes.queryname#, however, in general, it's not good practice to refer to variables outside the custom tag. 2) Pass the actual query cf_mytag query=#get_users# Then your cfquery would be cfoutput query=attributes.query (Notice, no # marks.) === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Member of Team Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: John Stanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:29 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom Tag Question I am creating a custom tag that will display the results of a query.

RE: Custom Tag Question
Try something LIKE this inside of your custom tag: cfset theQuery = caller.#attributes.queryname# cfoutput query=theQuery blah blah /cfoutput Thanks, André -Original Message- From: John Stanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 March 2003 14:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom Tag Question I am creating a custom tag that will display the results of a query. I know there are already some out there, but I wanna do it myself. I have an attribute called queryname that i refer to in the call of the custom tag. cf_mytag queryname=get_users inside the custom tag i refer to it as attributes.queryname as in the following cfoutput query=#attributes.queryname# blah blah /cfoutput I keep getting the following error.

RE: Custom Tag Question
Raymond, thank you very much for your help. that was it. -Original Message- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 9:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Custom Tag Question That is because you did not pass the query to the custom tag, but the name of the query. You can fix this two ways. 1) In your custom tag, do cfoutput query=caller.#attributes.queryname#, however, in general, it's not good practice to refer to variables outside the custom tag. 2) Pass the actual query cf_mytag query=#get_users# Then your cfquery would be cfoutput query=attributes.query (Notice, no # marks.) === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Member of Team Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: John Stanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:29 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom Tag Question I am creating a custom tag that will display the results of a query.

Hmm, you might be able to just put the jar file(s) into the wwwroot/web-inf/lib directory.
