RE: Recursion and Breadcrumbs
Jake, I did something that might help you.Its a recursive function that uses one db call.You can see it at work by creating an account and creating a survey here.www.surveys.theanticool.com http://www.surveys.theanticool.com .The interface to create the survey uses only ie at this point(I know I know!).You can see the results of the nested tree structure as the shape of the survey.Check it out and write back to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]if you want more details.I'll get back to you tonight.

I will check out that site though. Jake if ur using dw then just use an extension, takes 5 seconds to do. or once again go to www.dwfaq.com and go to snippetts and massimo has a few breadcrumb snippetts there _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Recursion and Breadcrumbs
Hi Jake There is an article about recursion from Steve Majewski on defusion.com. I think this article answers your questions. http://www.defusion.com/articles/index.cfm?ArticleID=63 HTH Dominik -Original Message- From: Jake McKee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 7:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Recursion and Breadcrumbs After searching high and low, I've found quite a few discussions about using recursion to create breadcrumbs, and other nested categorical info. It seems to be a pretty common question, and I would expect that there is a common solution out there, but I can't seem to find one. I'm trying to display: Home Cat Sub Cat Sub Sub Cat .. Etc. My DB table looks like : Cat IDCatNameParentCatID --- 1 CDs0 2 Good CDs1 3 Bad CDs1 4 U22 5 Nsync3 This would display: Home CDs Good CDs U2 Anyone have a straightforward code snippet for this?

RE: Recursion and Breadcrumbs
Jake No it does not! In the lower section of the article, just over the source code of the recursive Custom Tag, it is written: To get CFX_MakeTree to put the items in any other order, you would have to completely reorganize your database, and nobody wants to do that.An alternative to hours of swapping ItemID's is to use a small, recursive, custom tag.For example: And here comes your solution without any CFX-Tag.
