One thing I was thinking of briefly - without actually considering how it would be implemented - would be to have a secondary display method associated with rules
I'm just throwing this up as it has kind of become relevant and may invoke other ideas (bad bad pun!) Basically, the purpose of this display method would be as a rule handler. When it is called summary data about the rule would be passed to it, such as: - Rule options (i.e. what the user selected when creating the rule) - Number of results from the rule (e.g. number of news articles) - ... It allows you do things such as display "No articles were found", or to format intro text, or whatever The biggest hurdle I ran into initially when creating rules was that no custom data could passed along to objects being placed into aInvocations. Like the rule's execute() might determine some other data that would be useful in displaying the rule but there's no easy way to generate this data otherwise Anyway, the intention of this was just to provoke a little thought in a different direction for this thread Cheers -- Quentin Zervaas Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brendan Sisson Sent: Wednesday, 3 March 2004 10:12 AM To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: container.cfc has <p> tags Gary Menzel wrote: > I am working with some custom rules and have discovered that the > container.cfc wraps any content generated in <p>...</p> tags. I agree this should be taken out... I just need to think a bit more as to how it may affect existing sites. It's not just custom rules that would be affected, core rules with intro text (eg news rule) should have been outputting this intro text via aInvocations. -Brendan http://farcry.daemon.com.au --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
