Gareth - IT CAN BE DONE
This will do what you want. just modify the technique to apply the data
against the template - I have done a simple merge here.
----------tester.cfm page ---------------------
<cfscript>
// dim up an arry of objects for the repeater tag
aObjects = arrayNew(1);
stObject = structNew();
stObject.FName = "Elliot";
stObject.LName = "Russo";
stObject.ID = "1";
for (i = 1; i lte 26; i = i + 1)
{
stObjectI = duplicate(stObject);
stObjectI.ID = i;
stObjectI.LName = stObjectI.LName & "[#chr(i + 64)#]";
arrayAppend(aObjects,stObjectI);
}
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>ID</td>
<td>First Name</td>
<td>Last Name</td>
</tr>
<cf_repeater aObjects="#aObjects#">
<tr>
<td>{{ID}}</td>
<td>{{FName}}</td>
<td>{{LName}}</td>
</tr>
</cf_repeater>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</cfoutput>
---------------cftag repeater -------------------------
<cfparam name="attributes.aObjects">
<cfif thisTag.executionMode eq "start">
<cfset iNumItems = arraylen(attributes.aObjects)>
<cfset iCurrentIndex = 1>
<cfset stObject = attributes.aObjects[iCurrentIndex]>
<!--- <cfinclude template="repeater_start.cfm"> --->
<cfelse>
<cfset myRowContent = thisTag.generatedContent>
<cfloop collection="#stObject#" item="key">
<cfset myRowContent = replaceNoCase(myRowContent, "{{#key#}}",
stObject[key], "ALL")>
</cfloop>
<cfset thisTag.generatedContent = myRowContent>
<cfif iCurrentIndex lt iNumItems>
<!--- cause it doesn't reenter the start section ! --->
<cfset iCurrentIndex = iCurrentIndex + 1>
<cfset stObject = attributes.aObjects[iCurrentIndex]>
<!--- <cfinclude template="repeater_start.cfm"> --->
<cfexit method="loop">
</cfif>
</cfif>
"Gareth Edwards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
is there ANY way of creating a custom repeater wrapper in coldfusion?
ie.
<CUST:cf_repeater type="simple" count="10">
content here to loop over.
</CUST:cf_repeater>
So far I've found it cant be done, please if someone knows a way without
doing it in java or c++.. let me know.
Gareth.
