Stuart,
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but I wouldn't recommend storing
a list in your database. I'd recommend figuring out the normalized way to do
it. I'm a bit confused as to what you're really storing. Is it that one
article is related to other articles?
Back to the question at
Hi Deanna,
This morning I just worked out what i had done wrong! It was that I had been
putting the option value=#articleID# and not option value=#authorID# with
my initial form.
Each article when CREATED the user gets a chance to link to other related
articles. Once these articles are
or not they had any associated articles.

This is absolutely true, at least in theory, I mean as a database issue only.
But when the number of elements in the list is finite and reasonabily small,
and every element in the list is also
in the article table, and their associated
articles, whether or not they had any associated articles.

My knowledge of databases isn't too deep. Am I right to say that i would
have a table called articleRelationship
articleID - articleRelations
1 3,14,33
2 3,4,12
3 11,1,2
4 7,8,5
5 7,8
The problem with this, is 1) that you're still storing a list, and 2) you will
have either redundant or inconsistent information. Meaning, article 1 says it
is related to 3, and 3 says it is
Hi guys,
I'm having problems with lists.
I displayed a list of all article titles (and IDs) that could relate to a
specific title and the user can select which ones can be links (via a select
form).
That part is all good and it inserts the comma separated list into the field
articleRelatedLinks
You are almost there. Two problems.
First, you are going to want listFind, rather than listContains, I think.
listContains is not an exact match. looking for 5 will find 5 and 35 and
50.
Second, are there really spaces after the , in the list? If so, I think you'll
want to get rid of them. 5
Looks like you need ListFind(), not ListContains().
ListFind looks at the entire element, while ListContains looks at
substrings.
cfset myList=21,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6
ListFind(myList,7) will return 15
ListContains(myList,7) will return 5 (which is the element 17)

Thanks for your help Jerry and Al!
I'm still having that problem where it only finds a few of the numbers in
the list. The field is set as a varchar(200) that shouldn't be a problem
should it?
I broke the code down so it's easier to read and only specifically targets
one particular row (just
