1. It appears if I start a content type, like a link, and I try to cancel, I am still prompted to fill in the title. Is this a bug or a feature?

The way the COAPI is invoked, an object is created once you attempt to edit. Which means if you cancel you'll end up with an object that needs to be deleted in any event. Seems easiest to assume that the user will want to complete an object.


Anybody have any better ideas for handling this situation?

2. How does one use the Symbolic Link & Nav Aliases

Nav aliases turn into "Quicklinks" in the drop down above the site menu.. but they also turn into application vars like so: application.navid.aliasname -- this is so you can reference specific navigation points in your code without having to hard code an object id.


For example you might have application.navid.footer to allow you to easily determine the node you should start building the footer menu from.

There are several default aliases the system uses -- like "home" for the home page. As a side note, these are also used to provide slightly different icons in the tree for certain nodes (purely cosmetic).

3. When on try to do a dump on a custom type I get the following error, do I need to add something to my code?
Importing this template failed : ColdFusion attempted looking in the tree of installed custom tags but did not find a custom tag with this name. Cannot find CFML template for custom tag dump.

Hmmm.. sounds like a bug to me. Dump should simply fire a default handler -- though it probably doesn't :(
