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.

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.

RE: Custom tag question
Thanks for your reply, Larry. ThisTag.GeneratedContent works but not very well in the situation below. Since it fails to encounter any tags it literally passes everything between the opening and closing tags without processing the embedded variable. Hence the pound signs are literally sent to the custom tag template. One way I found to get around this is to wrap tags immediately around the text string like this: Long #var# string with variables embedded... But this defeats the purpose. How can we solve this problem without using additional nested tags inside the custom tags? -Original Message- From: Larry Meadors [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2000 12:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Custom tag question Are you looking for thistag.generatedcontent?

RE: Custom tag question
if I understand correctly. The application might be. #itemid# #productname# img src=#productimage# == products.cfm == Our Product Catalog. #thistag.generatedcontent# 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.)

ThisTag.GeneratedContent works but not very well in the situation below. Since it fails to encounter any tags it literally passes everything between the opening and closing tags without processing the embedded variable. Hence the pound signs are literally sent to the custom tag template. One way I found to get around this is to wrap tags immediately around the text string like this: Long #var# string with variables embedded... But this defeats the purpose.

Excellent! I'm using the custom tag approach to interface with a UDF that I've already written... this way instead of passing a list of fields and a list of values each field change will automagically have it's own entry in the audit log. That'll make searching the audit log a LOT easier later. Thanks for the reply, Hatton --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Just an FYI, but you can also build nested tags as well: Of course, I've only rarely done this for a real custom tag.

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.
