Ok... I spoke too soon. For some reason, when I refreshed the app
scope, I now get a CF Error: "Complex object types cannot be converted
to simple values." on all of the pages that list the types except for
one. I've copied and pasted the code from the one that works to the
other display pages but they still don't work and yet that one does
(?!??!). We've purposely named all of our display fields the same for
all of our custom types for ease and you can view the code below.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I've Googled it, I've search
here in the FarCry groups but it seems like we're the only ones that
have come across this :/
<!--- @@displayname: Hotspot List Teaser --->
<cfset myNavID = StructNew()>
<cfset a = StructInsert(myNavID, "navid", "#request.navid#")>
<cfoutput>
<!--- Show hotspot name and link it to full hotspot details item
--->
<tr>
<td colspan=4><b><skin:buildLink objectid="#stObj.objectid#"
stParameters="#myNavID#">#stObj.label#</skin:buildLink></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><cfif len(trim(stObj.locations)) GT
0>#stObj.locations#<cfelse>#stObj.addr1#</cfif></td>
<td>#stObj.hours#</td>
<td>#stObj.cost#</td>
<td><cfif len(trim(stObj.phone)) GT
0>#stObj.phone#<cfelse>#stObj.website#</cfif></td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
Oh and I've moved the code that creates the struct inside the cfoutput
tags as well and received the same error...
