Hello, first of all - thank you to the contributors of this list for all your help on the development of my first site using Farcry. I haven�t asked any questions yet, but the answers given to others in the last two months that I have been subscribed have been extremely helpful. On the site I am creating, I have extended dmImage to include a new property called LinkURL. When a dmNews item is created, and an image is added to the news item, the user will have the option to enter a URL that the image will link to from the news article. The reason I did not extend dmNews with this property is because I would like the ability to have multiple images linking to multiple places. This works, but it results in a lot of code being copied from the core directory into my application directory. Extending dmImage is not a problem, but to add in one extra field to dmNews, I had to extend the edit method, and copy over the whole �edit� and �plpedit� folder and its contents. The only file that was modified was �_edit/plpedit/images.cfm�� Is there a way I can tell the PLP to look for that file in my directory and the rest of the steps in the core directory without changing the core? Also, is there a reason that the contents of the images.cfm plp step is duplicated in every type? Wouldn�t it be better to have the �saving� part of that step as a shared function or included file somewhere so the code wouldn�t be in dmNews, dmEvents, each custom type, etc...? Thanks in advance!
