Hey all, I'm trying to argue the side of using this custom tag instead of building a content management system that publishes static HTM pages. Basically, it will be the same system... the content will be stored in a database, but instead of publishing that content to a static .htm page, I want to just query it from a dynamic CF template so I can eliminate all of the headaches that are associated with completely static sites (maintaining links, etc). I just think that publish feature will ultimately be the fate of this system, and it will grow to be a complex beast that nobody ever wants to touch. I don't know, maybe I'm biased since most of my sites have been dynamic in nature - I just like the manageability.
My question is this - has anyone worked with this custom tag. Is there anything I'm missing that I should be concerned about? I thought about using a custom tag to build our dynamic links so if we ever need to revert back to the old format, we would just flip a switch in app globals and poof - all of our hyperlinks will be built the "correct" way. That might break other's links to our site's content, but I'm sure we could accommodate for them somehow. Today I noticed slashdot had linked to this article: http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/13671/story.htm Right away I was tickled, and hopefully it helps my case. It's also good to see a site that uses CF, probably without much load on average, be able to withstand such a pounding from slashdot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
