If your custom tag doesn't surround anything, make sure you add this line:
<cfif thistag.ExecutionMode is "end"><cfexit method="exitTag"></cfif> That way if you have programmers that self close tags (<cf_customtag />), it won't run twice.

Custom tag is just that: a bit of code that can be called in a single tag, that's all. Nothing 'overkill' about it to implement for a simple computation. <cf_getMyLink relativePath="/path/to/mytemplate.cfm" environment="development" /> seems fairly straightforward. ---------------------------------------- From: "Gerald Guido" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 11:18 AM To: "cf-talk" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Which code reuse method? >>However, my secondary concern is that we do not have a process for sharing code in-house so I could see whatever method I choose turning into a sort of default method of code reuse (even when not appropriate). If that is the case, I would recommend making it a custom tag and sticking it in the custom tags folder in the CF admin.That way it is avalible to everyone with out having to deal with mappings and all that.
