>> I am currently calling a cffunction that is on the same page using <cfset
myVar = GetVar(Toy)>. The GetVar is written on the same page. However I want
to call another function the same way but it is on a diffrent page. Is there
a way of calling it with out having to copy and past it into this page?
Thanks
Matthew,
You can use a CFC. Create a file called: user_functions.cfc (or whatever
you want to call it).
<cfcomponent name="user_functions">
<cffunction name="getVar">
.... your function code here....
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Now when you want to call it, you can either use <CFINVOKE> to call it, or
you can use createObject() to create a variable that represents the CFC and
then call the function with that variable, like this:
<cfset oUserFunctions = createObject("component","user_functions")>
<cfset myVar = oUserFunctions.getVar(Toy)>
Use those lines of code in both your pages.
There are plenty of best practices on the net for CFCs and where you put
them and naming conventions and so on, but this is the basics for you
anyway. You can look up the docs for CFINVOKE if you'd rather use it.
