Ok all,
I have used CFMODULE instead of CF_ form to call the cutom tags. This is
done so that poor sould like me who are hosted on shared servers aren't left
out. Unfortunately, it it turning out to be quite a problem for many
installations.
The supplied file points CTDir to /CustomTags. Now on most CF
installations, "/CustomTags" is already mapped to "C:\cfusion\customtags\"
(mpte the trailing slash), or wherever the central customTags directory
lives. But apparently this mapping is not automaticallay set-up on ALL
servers. So you may need to add that mapping on your server.
If you don't want to use, or can't use, the central customTags directory, eg
if you are on a shared server, you can make your own, under your own tree.
To do this you have to figure out the CF-mapped location of your particular
web-root. For example, on Bjork.net, my top-level web directory has a
physical location of something bizarre, like
d:\etc\webserver\root\users\bjork\www. But the CF-server has "/" mapped to
"d:\etc\webserver\root\". So I put a CustomTags directory at the top of MY
tree. I therefore set CTDir = "/bjork/www/customtags/".
I know this is all tacky, but I haven't seen a better way around it.
If you are still having problems, and you have access to central CustomTags,
just change the 2 CFMODULE calls and their closing tags to normal CF_
format.
Does anyone have any ideas of how best to cope with this problem? I am
still looking for a god, free Windows Installer program that will prompt
everyone through the installtion process and fill in the appropriate
settings. ??
Thanks very much for all or your patiences ;-)
Lee.
