RE: [CFCDev] CFfunction output="yes", "no", "maybe"?

Barry:   Using output="false" is generally a good practice, so stick with it. If you want debugging info that you can turn on/off how about using CFTRACE?  Perhaps even using it in another method in your CFC called "debug" or something like that?   Something like:   <cffunction name="debug" output="yes">  <cfargument name="message">  <cfif variables.debugOn>   <cftrace text="#arguments.message#" inline="Yes">  </cfif> </cffunction>   You still won't get inline output, but it will show up in debugging and in the cftrace.log file (which, IMO, is actually easier to use for debugging in many cases)         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Barry Beattie Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 7:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] CFfunction output="yes", "no", "maybe"? Hi all   I’ve habitually been using output=”no" at the top of my CFC methods to try and cut down on the amount of whitespace generated (it helps a lot).   but is there anyway to turn this to “yes” at runtime?   why? I’ve got a <cfset VARIABLES.debug = FALSE> at the top of the CFC’s that, when I turn to TRUE, displays various values out using simple CFOUTPUTs (eg: data going into queries, runtime values being passed from one method to another, etc).   -          but it doesn’t work with _ output=”no" _   If I can get the output sorted, I’ll replace the VARIABLES.debug with a passed in optional parameter to set the TRUE/FALSE.   any suggestions? anything that’s quick and simple, not a huge logging system   thanx barry.b (barry beattie)
