Re: setting info in an application
I have a directory without an application file where there is Why not just write out to a 'includethistext.txt' file on the protected form's action, ideally outside the webroot, but if all you need is protection you can do it in the protected directory. Then on the unprotected form, read that file in using CFFILE from the location that you know you wrote it out to and then display it on the unprotected form. That way, if the application goes down, when it comes back up, it still has the file to read from. I feel I'm missing something in your explanation though. No, I don't think that you're missing anything. I was thinking of includes and application variables and hadn't used cfFile in quite a while so I didn't think of it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't just write out a .cfm so that I can easily include it and that can designate multiple variables instead of 1 piece of text. I find it talking over the project that there's probably 3 pieces of text. thank you. daniel ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252959 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I find it talking over the project that there's probably 3 pieces of text. I just used a *.txt without much though other than it was mentioned that it was to hold text. There would be no problem writing out to a *.cfm file and setting variables to be used in the unprotected form via cfinclude. Once caveat is that if you write out to a *.cfm, then CF will interpret that and you may have to ensure strict security to ensure that no malicious CFML code can ever enter that file.

Yeah that was a fear of mine. I have the directory protected but I suppose all protections can be worked-around.

RE: setting info in an application
I have a directory without an application file where there is a form to register for an event. I have a directory within that that has an application file and that's set up to keep out people that aren't logged in because it contains all the reports or other interactions with the database. I want to put a form in the protected area that will set a line of text on the unprotected registration form. The way that I see to do that is to create an application file in the above directory which houses the registration form, then set an application variable which is read into the form. I'm doing this so that the user doesn't need Why not just write out to a 'includethistext.txt' file on the protected form's action, ideally outside the webroot, but if all you need is protection you can do it in the protected directory. Then on the unprotected form, read that file in using CFFILE from the location that you know you wrote it out to and then display it on the unprotected form.
