Sometimes, no, make that usually, Macromedia's documentation for CF just barely scratches the surface.
I have an existing collection that is populated from a query. The data returned from this query gets updated quite often. In order to allow accurate searches, I would like to add (for new records) or update a record in a collection from query data...actually, I'll be passing the data in via a CFC... Is there a way to do this? Here is the original tag call to populate the collection: <cfindex action="UPDATE" collection="coll_datacards" type="CUSTOM" key="id" title="name" query="getDatacardsForIndexing" body="name, cardcontent, metadata"> So, in order to do this, would I do something like: <cfindex action="UPDATE" collection="coll_datacards" type="CUSTOM" key="#arguments.id#" title="#arguments.name#" body="#arguments.name#, #arguments.cardcontent#, #arguments.metadata#"> (note that I omitted the query attribute). Would this update just a single record in the coll_datacards collection? Thanks, Pete PS Is it time to create an "Undocumented CF" web site? If there's enough interest and enough content, I'm willing to start this as a project...I just know that between things like cfcollection (and related tags), cfdocument, cfchart, and more that there's a lot of stuff that Macromedia doesn't cover in their docs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
