Thanks Ray! I appreciate the quick response and suggestions.
Admittedly, I "found" that code online, so anything that is old or
deprecated should have been caught. For instance, the parameterExists
function, I didn't know that it was deprecated, but regardless should
have known to use an isDefined function instead. Thank you for
bringing that to my attention.
Ok re: number 2. I have changed my code to assign the valueList of
keys to a local variable instead. However, in the query I now get a
"Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values." error.
--- start new query ---
<CFQUERY NAME="unsortedResults" DATASOURCE="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">
SELECT SPEAKER_ID
FROM TOPIC
WHERE SPEAKER_ID IN (#VARIABLES.keyArray#)
</CFQUERY>
--- end new query ---
With re: to your third comment. This is true, I am only getting one
column and this same column is already being stored in my <cfindex> as
the key. As I understand how the custom tag works, I need to "match"
the verity results with the db results using "WHERE SPEAKER_ID IN
(#VARIABLES.keyArray#)" ...(except I am getting an error when doing
this, see number two from above)... Then the custom tag runs
(http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1000158)
and sorts the list according to the column specified. Does that make
sense? Would it be better to use a queryAddColumn and querySetCell as
opposed to the custom tag (which does the same thing)?
Finally, with re: to your last comment. Thank you for pointing that
out. I completely overlooked that, since my code isn't even getting
that far at this point. My new output looks like this:
--- start new output ---
<UL>
<CFOUTPUT query="results">
<LI><A
href="test_search_details.cfm?speakerID=#key#">#results.title#</A></LI>
</CFOUTPUT>
</UL>
--- end new output ---
Any thoughts or suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks.
