I have a directory without an application file where there is a form to register for an event. I have a directory within that that has an application file and that's set up to keep out people that aren't logged in because it contains all the reports or other interactions with the database.
I want to put a form in the protected area that will set a line of text on the unprotected registration form. The way that I see to do that is to create an application file in the above directory which houses the registration form, then set an application variable which is read into the form. I'm doing this so that the user doesn't need me each time they want to adjust that line. So, I have a few questions: - is this a good way to do this? - if so, how do I write from one application to the other? Do I just have the form go to a file that is in the above application that contains the form, have it set the line and then return? - is this a treacherous way to go about including the info? IOW, when the CF server is restarted, will this data go away? If so, we might not know it went away and that would be a problem. What other ways would the application variable be lost? I'm doing this to keep from doing a DB just to present that one piece of information. I can't do a cfinclude because the person is not programming literate so I'm looking for other possibilities. thank you. daniel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252589 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
