Ok. So if I want to create a global var that's almost always the same (with a
few exceptions), I could do the following in the application.cfc:
Set up the application vars I always want available.
<cffunction
name="OnApplicationStart"access="public"returntype="boolean" output="false"
hint="Fires when the application is first created.">
<cfset application.mystandardvar = "foo">
<cfset application. myoverridevar = "kungfoo">
</cffunction>
Set up the most standard use like below (which should make it available on all
pages):
<cffunction name="OnRequestStart" access="public" returntype="string"
output="true" hint="Fires at first part of page processing.">
<cfset thepagevar="#application.mystandardvar#">
</cffunction>
Then, on the exception pages where I want to use the other variant, I can do
the following at page top:
<cfset thepagevar="="#application.myoverridevar#">
This will make all occurrences of "thepagevar" the same as
application.mystandardvar, except on those pages where I did the additional
cfset at page top, in which case it will be application. Myoverridevar for that
page only.
Does this look correct?
Thanks
