No I am not using plp, just a straight forward dmNavigation.cfc in the types directory.

When a new version of that object is created, it gets the new field. Was this your issue? On 5/4/07, Andrew Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: So it's a bug in the core then?

I remember banging my head against the monitor (in the CRT monitor days!) trying to figure why my mods would not work on existing objects but did on new ones. Turned out to do with the PLP storeage. The old objects did not have an entry for my new field. It all came good when I created a new version of an existing object.

I know that in V3.01 that the core uses the DBGateway to decide what to do, my question is this I can't make changes to the core as the system is on a hosted server. So I need to be able to put a checkbox into the extended type, and have it save to the database and populate when the type is then displayed. I followed the wiki directions, to create and extend the dmNavigation and placed <input type="checkbox" name="bAllowLink" id="bAllowLink" <cfif bAllowLink>checked="checked"</cfif>> The problem is that the dbgateway cracks it because the properyValue doesn't exist, and if it does it cracks it because it can't convert on to a Boolean. Someone out there must know how to do this, surely. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.
