Hey somebody come back to me on this one.. I think i just made a really
cool custom tag that accomplishes what circuits.cfm and nesting.cfm are
doing, but with less hassle.
The problem circuits/nesting are trying to defeat is that when you plug a
circuit into an app, you have to go in and change the fuseaction prefixes
in the xfa's. Instead of the circuits/nesting solution which requires you
to alter the nesting.cfm file whenever you plug in circuits, you could set
a variable named fuseactionPrefix at the top of the index and just output
that each time you're setting an XFA like <cfset
xfa.edit="#fuseactionprefix#.edit">.
I just wrote a custom tag I'm tenatively naming cf_fuseactionPrefix which
would automatically set this variable. Just run this custom tag at the top
of every index.cfm in your application. The code for this tag is as follows:
<cfparam name="attributes.defaultFuseaction" default="">
<cfparam name="caller.heirarchyLevel" default="0">
<cfscript>
// code for fuseaction prefix
caller.heirarchyLevel=caller.heirarchyLevel+1;
caller.fuseactionPrefix="";
for(i=1;i lte (caller.heirarchyLevel-1);i=i+1){
caller.fuseactionPrefix=listappend(caller.fuseactionPrefix,listgetat(caller.attributes.fuseaction,i,"."),".");
}
// code for defaulting the fuseaction.
if(listlen(caller.attributes.fuseaction,".") lt caller.heirarchyLevel){
caller.attributes.fuseaction=listappend(caller.attributes.fuseaction,attributes.defaultfuseaction,".");
}
</cfscript>
Just run this tag at the top of each index and output #fuseactionPrefix# in
your xfa's and you're set to plug and play.
anybody with me here? seems like a really good idea, but i just thought of
it as i was writing this message. I just tested it on one of my
applications and it seems to work!
I uploaded a zip file with this tag to my cfug site at
http://www.tbcfug.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=files.details&file_id=58 You
can go there to download it.
p.s. i also made this tag handle defaulting the fuseaction at this level of
the heirarchy.
