> Greetings fellow Fuseboxers. I think I was on this list a
> year or so ago but
> somehow I lost track of it. Anyways, my name is Brendan
> Avery and I've been
> using the Fusebox techniques for a year now -- kudos to Steve
> Nelson et al for
> a very smart and efficient workaround to what would otherwise be major
> shortcomings of the CF platform. Anyways, on to the reason
> for this email:
>
> FORMURL2ATTRIBUTES will throw an exception when you have
> incomplete value-pair
> in the query-string (when using the standard ? prefix.) For
> example, click
> the following:
> http://fusebox.org/index.cfm?oops
>
> See what I'm saying? Kind of tacky. Of course, you could
> always code in an
> exception handler via cf_try/cf_catch to redirect to the
> index.cfm within your
> index.cfm, but that might not be the desired result for some circuit
> applications (though it would probably be the most common,
> apart from a custom
> error page.)
>
> However, I suggest that an alternative to coding exception
> handlers in the
> index.cfm would be a slight modification to the
> FormUrl2Attributes.cfm script.
> See my modified version (attached); note I added very obvious
> comments which
> could of course be truncated if this ever goes official.
>
> ONE OTHER NICE ADVANTAGE of this modified version of
> FormURL2Attributes is
> that it accepts any parameter declarations without an = sign
> and accompanying
> value as a "TRUE" value, directly mimicing the behavior of a
> custom tag with
> an unspecified attribute value. For Example, in the custom tag call:
>
> <CF_MYTAG THISWILLBETRUE>
>
> Within the MyTag.cfm, if you reference
> "attributes.thiswillbetrue" you will
> get a TRUE value. This is the way cold fusion defines the
> default of an
> unvalued parameter.
>
> So, consider the following...
>
> http://whatever/index.cfm?fuseaction=report&textonly&maxrows=15
>
> With my modified formurl2attributes.cfm, you'll get the
> following attributes:
>
> attributes.fuseaction = report
> attributes.textonly = TRUE
> attributes.maxrows = 15
>
> value of attributes.textonly will be returned as TRUE just
> like it would be if
> you made the following cfmodule call to the index page like so:
>
> <cfmodule template="index.cfm" fuseaction="report" textonly
> maxrows=15>
>
> (Most importantly, however, it won't throw an exception if
> the index is called
> by HTTP.)
>
> I had originally sent two emails to Steve Nelson regarding
> this suggestion,
> but I guess he's too busy to answer, so I'm posting it here
> on the list to see
> if anyone thinks this is a worthy addition to the official
> Fusebox release.
