What Neil is talking about are code snippets (I think. I don't know
about this right-clicking business, but I'm using version 5.5).
Both Eclipse and Homesite support code snippets. For example, I've got a
snippet for aborting. I have a certain procedure that runs at the end of
each page request. This goes, obviously, in the OnRequestEnd.cfm
template. But when I abort this template doesn't run. Code snippets to
the rescue!
I type abort and press ctrl+j and I'm given the following:
<CFInclude Template="/Include/OnRequestEnd.cfm">
<CFAbort>
It's pretty cool. CFEclipse has included a few like ctrl+shift+d but I
prefer to type the word dump followed by ctrl+j. I remapped Eclipse's
snippet key combo from ctrl+z(?) to ctrl+j so that I could keep my
homesite feel that I'm used to.
The above example was a simple one, but I've also got a snippet for
checking for the existence of a record in the database prior to doing an
update. I type check followed by ctrl+j and I get:
<CFQuery name="check" datasource="#DataName#">
SELECT * FROM WHERE
</CFQuery>
<CFIf check.recordcount>
<CFQuery name="update" datasource="#DataName#">
UPDATE SET
WHERE
</CFQuery>
<CFElse>
<CFQuery name="insert" datasource="#DataName#">
INSERT INTO ()
VALUES ()
</CFQuery>
</CFIf>
Now I just go up and fill in the blanks. It really quite slick. I also
like that Homesite has help in-built *that can be used off-line*. I know
that CFEclipse has help, but I have to be connected to the internet (not
usually a problem), but I've also rarely seen it work properly, and even
then it's slow (imo).
Cheers,
Chris
