Subject: RE: URL Structure
Tuan,
I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but here's a trick that allows you
to manipulate links after the facts, as long as they are inside of "
tags.
Let's say your user put in "http://blah.com?name=joe J. Smith">Joe
J. Smith. What you want to appear is actually
http://blah.cfm?nameJoe%20J%2E%20Smith";>Joe J. Smith
But you do not want the user to encode it him or herself and you do not what
to allow them to do something like "#urlencodedformat("joe j. smith")#"
Here's a simple way to do that.
On the page that is being served (presumably a CFM Page). Add the following:
Then, create a folder called "htm" that branches from that same directory
(where the page is being served). Inside that folder place a file titled
"a.cfm" that can rewrite it for you. The result is that CF treats a call to
as if it were a call to the custom tags. The interior attributes become
attributes of the tag. You could even enforce a URL handler to track clicks
or whatever. You could do the same with the " tag, tag..
Whatever
I have a good sample on my blog:

Re: URL Structure
Yes, the user can view the source code which would take them out of WYSIWYG mode. Then they would have to sniff thru all the HTML to find the link and wrap it w/ coldfusion code before they save the document. This is precisely something I don't want them to do because they are not developers, just content editors with no web knowledge. Now instead of them wrapping the link w/ coldfusion code I could probably do it after they save the document. But that would involve me opening up the database where the content is stored, finding the document and then the link and wrapping it myself. The problem with this is the extra work for me and the need for the content editor to contact me whenever a link such as this exist. So I'm basically trying to find a way to have the disclaimer page extract the complete URL from the referring page (which is the page the content editor makes).

Re: URL Structure
I'm actually creating a disclaimer page that redirects the users. So the user
sees a disclaimer page indicating they are leaving the site and connecting to
an outside site. Then they get redirected to that site. For some reason my
disclaimer redirect code wasn't working correctly for links that had multiple
url variables in it. It would get cut off after the end of thefirst url
variable. The user wouldn't get redirected to the page intended b/c of this.
For instance lets say a user clicked on a link on my page that went to:
http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=healthNews&storyID=12037965&src=eDialog/GetContent
My page would actually have this as the link
http://someurlhere.com/disclaimer.cfm?destination=http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=healthNews&storyID=12037965&src=eDialog/GetContent
the disclaimer.cfm would look something like this:
<!--
function dspDisclaim(){
setTimeout('window.location.href="#destination#"',1);
}
//-->
Now this worked fine when there wasn't multiple url vars in the original link,
but as you can see this reuter link has mutliple vars in it.
So to fix it so that all the url vars got included in my redirect i did this:
This actually recontructed the URL correctly with all the URL vars, but the
problem is this particular link is case sensitive and does not work when the
url vars got recontructed in uppercases letters.
Maybe I'm doing the whole redirect thing incorrectly or theres an easier way.
But if anybody can help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: URL Structure
I think the simplest solution is to uCase the variables when you pass them via the URL.

CF doesn't think that's important information, so it doesn't store variable names that way. This is common in case-insensitive programming languages, I suspect. You could, however, examine the query string directly. But why do you need the case of the variable name to be preserved anyway?

Re: URL Structure
You can just parse it as a list of lists. The main list is a list delimited by &. The sub lists are delimited by =. You would need to urlDecodedFormat() on the right hand side. Oh, and the variable itself comes from cgi.query_string. On 5/5/06, Tuan Tran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > I'm trying to get the name/value pair from url variables.

RE: URL Structure
I don't think you can. CF is case-insensitive for one thing. It looks like case MIGHT be preserved in CGI.QUERY_STRING. So you could try the following: #listFirst(keyvalue,"=")# = #listLast(keyvalue,"=")# A couple of problems with that, of course: - Any URL variables you've explicitly set (such as with cfparam) or removed won't be accounted for. - You need to care for instances when there is a key but no value. "key1=&key2=a" Why do you need to see your URL variables in their original case? -Original Message- From: Tuan Tran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 11:35 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: URL Structure Hi Everybody, I'm trying to get the name/value pair from url variables.

Re: URL structure
Here is one way to loop URL var.
Name Value Pair: #namevaluepair#
Variable name: #varname# = [#evaluate('url.#varname#')#]
But the URL vars are in a structure. hmmm...
works so you can reengineer that code.
but to shorten this works
#varname#:
#evaluate('url.#varname#')#
