Thanks to the Farcry Component API interacting with the Farcry tree is a
snap. You can browse the API online at
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/cfcdoc/
You'll want to pay special attention to the Tree component especially
the GetDescendants() method. That is a popular one for menus.
<cfscript>
// get child navigation elements
o = createObject("component", #application.packagepath#.farcry.tree");
navFilter=arrayNew(1);
navfilter[1]="status IN (#listQualify(request.mode.lvalidstatus,
"'")#)";
qGetDescendants = o.getDescendants(objectid=request.navid, depth=1,
afilter=navFilter, lColumns='externalLink', dsn=application.dsn);
</cfscript>
