RE: [CFCDev] Constant values in attribute extends

[Jurgen Stillaert]

Hi Jeffry,   The structure is a follow: E:/             _website_development/                         baseComponent.cfc                         /OtherComponents/                                     component1.cfc                                     component2.cfc             _website_demo/                         baseComponent.cfc                         /OtherComponents/                                     component1.cfc                                     component2.cfc               Websites/                         Website1/                                     Some cfc’s extending baseComponents above                         Website2/                                             Some cfc’s extending baseComponents above                         Website2_demo/                                                Some cfc’s extending baseComponents above   When I finished a component in E:/_website_development/OtherComponents/ I copy it to E:/_website_demo/OtherComponents/ for testing (for clients).   So I need to redirect the websites under E:/Websites/ to the right components (and maps). But it seems that Cold Fusion doesn’t allow you to use variables in the extends attribute. (and it’s like cfinclude, and there it will work…).   My (stupid) solution is to enforce other webdevelopers to change manually the extends attribute. But I hope that is not the best solution that’s out there…   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffry Houser Sent: vrijdag 21 mei 2004 16:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CFCDev] Constant values in attribute extends    I think you mean <cfcomponent extends=""> not cfmodule.   If your components are in the same directory, they can be referred to as a package.  The "package" directory is the first place the extends component is looked for (someone correct me if this is wrong).  In this case, do you need to specify a full directory or are your components located in the same directory?  Would this: <cfcomponent extends="BaseComponent">  work?  At 10:00 AM 5/21/2004, you wrote: Hello,   I’m developing on a website and I wanted to split up the development code and stable and tested code (for demo).   So I made two mappings: website_development and website_demo in ColdFusion administrator.   In application.cfm, I created an application.map variable with one of the two above mentioned mappingnames.   I adapted the code of my cfc’s from <CFMODULE extends = “website_development.baseComponent”> to <CFMODULE extends = “#application.map#.baseComponent”>   But, when I run the program, I get this error “This _expression_ must have a constant value.” And that is a major setback for me… L   Does someone know a work around for this?   Met vriendelijke groeten, Jurgen Stillaert   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jurgen Stillaert Webdeveloper   RAMIT vzw c/o Dept.
