You can isolate your cfmodule code by checking for which part of the cfmodule tag has been called like so cfif THISTAG.ExecutionMode IS Start/cfif Anything inside this CFIF would get executed when the CF processor hits the opening cfmodule tag cfif THISTAG.ExecutionMode IS End/cfif Anything inside this CFIF would only get executed IF and WHEN CF processed a closing tag or if the opening cfmodule tag was self closed cfmodule / Just as a baseline, add some other random attribute to the cfmodule, like foo=9 to see if it's making it through.

RE: simple question...cfmodule
Alan, I didn't think anything was wrong...it's just really odd behavior. I believe it's CF7 and no...no end tag. The custom tag is controlled by a case statement. I'll have to try the if's. I have hjust been banging my head agaisntt he desk for the past few hours trying to figure out why the value isn't getting passed. Jonah, Yes...and I didn't see them either. I know for fact it is the cfmodule tag getting executed because I can change the contents of the variables that are getting passed, oddly enough. As far as I know, clientid is not a reserved word.

I can do it if I use cfinclude, of course, since all the variables are accessible, but when I try to do it from cfmodule to cfmodule, the query of query modules can't access the large query because it's local to the first cfmodule.

Re: cfmodule use
CFMODULE is basically just another way to call a custom tag, with the main differentiator being that the template name can be dynamic. I'd recommend packaging your widget as a custom tag, and using it via the CFIMPORT syntax. It's not really any different in terms of the code you'll write, but the usage of it will be cleaner (IMHO). cheers, barneyb On 8/9/07, Jonathon Stierman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all - I'm building this one template that I'd like to re-use in multiple sections of my application.

RE: cfmodule use
I've got a working version using cfmodule now -- thankfully it was pretty easy. The whole start tag/end tag thing threw me a curveball (why the blazes is this displaying twice??), but it's up and running. Questions on the custom-tag. Is there any performance difference between this setup and the cfmodule tag? I'm passing very site-specific objects to my module, which makes me reluctant to have it stored in a global location accessible by all sites on the server. So at the moment, I'm prefering the manual cfmodule calls to a registered custom-tag. As for putting it inside a CFC. I like this idea the most, but I'm hesitant to put display HTML code (which is essentially the point of this module) inside a CFC. I'd love your input on this. I've always been a don't-include-HTML-inside-your-CFC's kind of guy -- but I'm wondering whether you guys would consider this better than the custom-tag solution?

I'm passing very site-specific objects to my module, which makes me reluctant to have it stored in a global location accessible by all sites on the server. If you use CFIMPORT (instead of a custom tag registration), you can get around the issue. I usually have a 'tags' folder (watch VC config!) at the root of my applications to house tags local to the application, and then CFIMPORT them via the approot CF mapping. As for putting it inside a CFC. I like this idea the most, but I'm hesitant to put display HTML code (which is essentially the point of this module) inside a CFC. I'd love your input on this. I prefer to have my UI be CFC-free. UDFs where I need functions, tags (called with CFIMPORT) for where I need widgets, and then just a bunch of simple CFML. Rendering UIs (server-side) is generally a pretty procedural process, so I think a totally procedural paradigm is the best fit for the task.

Questions on the custom-tag. Is there any performance difference between this setup and the cfmodule tag? No, I don't think so. Any performance difference in finding a file one place vs another will be insignificant. Would it irk you to see display HTML inside a CFC? No, there's nothing wrong with that. Make sure you set the OUTPUT attribute appropriately in either case. Personally, I think custom tags are better suited for generating output, but it's largely a matter of personal preference.

Thanks for the help guys! I am going to continue on with the cfmodule track and use the cfimport tag to help me manage them. I'm more familiar working with CFC's than cfmodules, which makes me *want* to use CFCs for this, but I think the cfmodule tag is a better fit in the end for me.

In addition to Ray's suggestion, you can definitely do something like this if you do not want tag to run twice cfif thisTag.ExecutionMode eq 'start' your code goes here /cfif HTH On 3/2/07, Janet MacKay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And, if you don't want your tag to run twice, add cfexit method=exittag to the end of your custom tag.

cfmodule and CFCs?
I'm trying to use cfmodule to do some HTML layout from within a CFC. Here's the code inside the CFC: --- cffunction name cfmodule template=/templates/template_main.cfm cfoutput Some generated output from the function. /cfoutput /cfmodule /cffunction This is some example code from template_main.cfm: cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=yes cfif thisTag.executionMode is start cfoutput html /cfoutput /cfelse cfoutput /html /cfoutput /cfif cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=no - What I would expect would be HTML that looks like: html Some generated output from the function. /html But instead I receive a ColdFusion error, Context validation error for tag cfif. The error occurred in C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\templates\template_main.cfm: line 2 1 : 2 : cfif thisTag.executionMode is start 3 : cfoutput I know I must be mis-using the cfmodule, but I'm pretty stuck on what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

RE: page layout: cfmodule vs customtags
I did give the OO/CFC based methodology (model-glue to be specific) a go, but I came to the conclusion that this really defeats the purpose of what a web page is for. It is over complicating something that should be simple. A web page should be just that and be able to be opened in a WYSIWYG edit by a designer and edited. Putting everything into CFC's just really stops a web site being a web site any more. There is no way a designer can ever work on it unless he learns to code, it is also not very friendly toward other developers, who have to know OO and the framework before they can work on it. It really is more like software development. I got one of our developers to build a model-glue site, and then myself and one of the other developers tried to go and figure it out with no prior knowledge of model-glue, suffice to say it was very hard. And debugging is seriously time wasting trying to find out what actually caused the error, because the errors don't actually tell you. CFC's are great when used correctly, but I do not not agree with building a whole web site with CFC's, its too much obscurity. I also noticed that model-glue runs very slow, the site we built with it takes several seconds for each page to load off the local network.

RE: page layout: cfmodule vs customtags
We use a similar CFC-based system. It allows you to easily do things like switch layouts, or have several layouts per application. We use a xml file to define what directories receive a particular skin, and the call just remains #request.layout.header()#, etc on each page. Completely separates the presentation of headers and such from the content. As for output from CFCs yes I'm against using output=true. There's no real reason the CFC itself should *force* output text onto a page. That said, the pattern of returning a string and then outputting the function call as a variable (like I showed above) is more flexible and (imo) not breaking OOP principles.

Re: page layout: cfmodule vs customtags
All depends on how your setting the title and other header info. I have sub-includes per section that see the section and uses a switch to put the right header info in place. For the lists, the header comes from the DB anyway so nothing passed. My issue against custom tags is that they are a separate cf 'instance' which is segmented from the calling page. This means that it has all of the CGI, form, url, etc. variables set for the page are duplicated for this new 'instance'. More memory usage. If all I need is to pass in a specific variable, I can just do a CFSET before the CFINCLUDE. The choice is a set before the include which is part of the calling page or a new page which has lots of data passed into it. I'm for the first. I only use custom tags when I really want a segmented module call. but that limits you greatly, one reason I would use cfmodule is to be able to set variables and attributes such as title easier which is essential for search engines. ~Dave the disruptor~ I forgot what I was gunna put here, Will woulda stole it anyways!

Re: page layout: cfmodule vs customtags
See now thats different then what I have heard but the speed issue is really a non issue because its probably a difference the naked eye can't even detect. It seems though as if using cfimport method actually might make it a bit more difficult to use or display results from logic or processing and display back. Maybe it's just time to jump into model-glue. ~Dave the disruptor~ I forgot what I was gunna put here, Will woulda stole it anyways!

I know some folks consider custom tags to be a bit slower than normal includes, and yes, they are, but I've rarely seen that make a difference. About the only time i saw an impact w/ custom tags is with Spectra, which executed about 200 tags or so per request. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232089 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

I like using using components for layouts as well. Even wrote an article about it. ;-) http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/read/154231.htm Steve I do this in some cases and see nothing wrong with taking that approach. It usually is in its own separate CFC just for layout purposes but not always.

Cfmodule should work the same in CF7 as in CF6. However, I've had some users of custom tags of mine reporting issues like that.

Actually it is a simple call: CFMODULE TEMPLATE=dir_actions.cfm ACTION=LIST DIRECTORY=#REQUEST.DIRECTORY_PATH# The dir_actions.cfm resides in the same directory (there are no subdirectories) And the REQUEST.DIRECTORY_PATH variable is valid and does exists. Inside the tag, it does a simple CFDIRECTORY call and then does a QoQ to sort the directories by name (since CFDIRECTORY does not do that).

To make it work right, you simply change the foo call to: cfmodule template=foo.cfm / This will cause your tag to run twice. If you don't want that to happen, you can add this at the end of your custom tag: cfexit method=exitTag In fact, I recommend you always do this so you don't forget. Enjoy. As a general, FYI, I typically always use cfmodule or cf_ so I don't have to worry about name collisions.

CFCs and CFModule
Hello, I am trying execute a CFModule from inside a CFC and having quite a time. When I execute the CFMODULE with an absolute path (from the webroot -- /projects/ASF/index.cfm), I receive an error saying that index.cfm doesn't exist at that location. When I turn execute the CFMODULE with a relative path (../ASF/index.cfm) I get an error form is undefined. Since I am trying to call a fuseaction (in fusebox) the code I am calling doesn't directly reference the form scope anywhere. To make things weirder, when I remove the CFMODULE from the CFC and run it in a CFM file in the same directory as the CFC, it works fine. Any ideas?

RE: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
Personally, the advantages of cfmodule outweigh those of cfinclude. The performance hit of cfmodule is really low, and cfmodule provides you with encapsulation. Variables defined within a template called by cfmodule have no effect on the executed code outside that template (unless you are using variables in request, session, application, client, server, or use the caller). What you need to keep in mind, when you call a cfmodule template within a CFC, and use caller in that template, the variable is returned to the CFC. So if you want to use returned data from the template, you need to put business logic in your CFC which handles that.

Re: CFMODULE vs. CFINCLUDE
I've was thinking about this post last night - don't ask. To give you a little background im mainly a solid Fuseboxer so issues of layout have always been in the back of my head as it is something FB accomodates for. But the one thing i love about the move from FB2 to FB3 was having the layout file in one file. Well after reading this post it got me thinking about the Layout process again (mainly because i am also looking at doing a small app without FB for a change). And i was wondering why the cfsavecontent tag isn't used here? Basically your page would be: cfsavecontent variable=content Content Goes Here /cfsavecontent This would allow several options at the bottom of the page 1) cfinclude template=layout.cfm This would take the variable content and display its contents 2) cfmodule template=layout.cfm body=#content# 3) cf_foo#content#/cf_foo 4) Plus you could even put the layout template reference in the onRequestEnd.cfm and put some logic for each page?
