I actually had a major struggle with this but finally got it down with some
list help. Basically what you want to do is have a template with the
CFCONTENT tag on it, and then call it from a another template. Here's an
example:
You have a template called image.cfm
------
<CFCONTENT TYPE="image/jpeg"
FILE="D:\InetPub\nonpublicdirectoryname\image1.jpg" DELETEFILE="No">
------
Then you have a template that the viewer actually goes to, let's call it
dsp_image.cfm
------
<IMG SRC="image.cfm" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" BORDER="0">
------
This will display the image from image.cfm inside the dsp_image.cfm page but
not allow anybody to get directly to the images. And of course you could add
something like this to make it more dynamic:
image.cfm:
<CFCONTENT TYPE="image/jpeg"
FILE="D:\InetPub\nonpublicdirectoryname\image#imagenum#.jpg"
DELETEFILE="No">
dsp_image.cfm:
<IMG SRC="image.cfm?imagenum=1" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" BORDER="0">
Then you can do a loop or query to populate a whole page of images or
whatever you want to do.
