Referencing component packages
Forta, New Riders and others all say that you can call put all your components in one folder and then reference them just as you would an include, style sheet, whatever. But I am absolutely stumped on how to do this. Have followed their instructions very carefully and played with variations but cannot seem to do it. If /MySite/index.cfm wants to instate /MySite/components/Query.cfc then CFINVOKE COMPONENT=components/Query... works great. But going back up the directory structure, say from: /MySite/admin/index.cfm CFINVOKE COMPONENT=../components/Query... seems to be impossible without setting up a mapping in CFAdmin... I've tried dot notation, forward slashes, backward slashes, from the wwwroot, from the root drive, ExpandPath, etc., etc Anybody know what I am doing wrong??? ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm

RE: Referencing component packages
This is the last time I'll ask, I swear, but is there a way to figure out what the web root is from CFML? No, I don't think so. I know ColdFusion must know what it is to map directories, so couldn't the CF engine just play fair and set some variable for us to reference, or at least give us a relative path so that we can figure it out ourselves...or is this some deeply rooted evil idea that should be buried and never surface again? I don't know that it's an evil idea, but I also don't know that CF knows it, either - it shouldn't have to, for its own directory mappings, since it stores a logical path and its corresponding physical filesystem path for each mapping. Also, there's no need for the root mapping to correspond to the web root directory, so CF can't just assume that it does. However, if you wanted to make this assumption, you could look the root mapping value up within your code.

But please note Dave Watt's earlier email. I believe you can set the / mapping in CF to something that is not the web root. Therefore, this may not be the best solution. === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:dicklacara;mac.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 5:15 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Referencing component packages Sure does!

I know ColdFusion must know what it is to map directories, so couldn't the CF engine just play fair and set some variable for us to reference, or at least give us a relative path so that we can figure it out ourselves...or is this some deeply rooted evil idea that should be buried and never surface again? P.S.: I ask because I do not like hard-coding references to other directories when I can help it, it keeps my sites nimble, and gives me a lot more control on shared servers, etc...

This is the second time I've seen this used - any reason why? It's not in the docs. You should use foo.goo format where every item till the end is a folder name and the last item is the CFC itself. = == Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Brook Davies [mailto:brook;maracasmedia.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 1:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Referencing component packages Have you tried just /components/Query ?

But I am absolutely stumped on how to do this. Have followed their instructions very carefully and played with variations but cannot seem to do it. If /MySite/index.cfm wants to instate /MySite/components/Query.cfc then CFINVOKE COMPONENT=components/Query... works great. But going back up the directory structure, say from: /MySite/admin/index.cfm CFINVOKE COMPONENT=../components/Query... seems
