Reuben,
I'm not sure what piece you see as hardcoded, but I'll assume you mean
that you don't want your tags to be placed in the Custom Tags directory, but
rather in a subdirectory of the application. In that case, you could use
the TEMPLATE attribute rather than the name. The TEMPLATE attribute
location is relative to the Application.cfm of the calling template. As an
example, you could call <CFMODULE NAME="../CustomTags/wrap.cfm">, and that
should look in the custom tags directory that is associated with your
Application.cfm, which is unique for each developer.
I think this makes sense based on what you want to do. I haven't tested it,
but that's what the docs say.

Subject: RE: Programatically setting search path for custom tags
Thanks for the suggestion. This is the way I've been doing it, but it
breaks code portability. I want the root of the application to be known
from where the application.cfm file resides (I can find this out by doing
some recursive CFDIRECTORY trickery), and not be hardcoding in something
like this.
Thanks anyway,
