So basically if I have ColdFusion code like <cfoutput>#Link#</cfoutput> stored in a field. ColdFusion will not process this code when I call the field onto my page? Is this right... I could have sworn that this worked in ColdFusion 5.
I would think it would just process the code as normal when I call the field. Maybe I need more coffee or something it's just not clicking with me... - Neal -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of S.Isaac Dealey Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cfoutput issue... > Hello Everyone, > I'm having a strange problem, I have a few documents that > are stored in > a SQL table and these docs have a little CF code in them > that's used to > build some dynamic links to other docs.

Hey Neal, You need to store your content in a file and then include that file, or use a UDF or a custom tag to evaluate variables in order to get what I think you're trying to get... If you've got a good unique id on the table, something like this might work: <cfoutput> <cfsavecontent variable="mydoc2"> #chr(asc("<"))#cfoutput> #mydoc# #chr(asc("<"))#/cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> <cffile action="write" file="#expandpath('docs/' & mydocid & '.cfm')#" output="#mydoc#"> <cfinclude template="docs/#mydocid#.cfm"> Or look for a function or a custom tag like the old CF_StringEvaluate Here's a recent one: http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=173 Use the function if you just need variables in your string -- use the include method if the variable mydoc contains coldfusion tags. s. isaac dealey 972-490-6624 team macromedia volunteer http://www.macromedia.com/go/team chief architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to onTap is open source http://www.turnkey.to/ontap ----------------------------------------------- To post, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: Send UNSUBSCRIBE to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe / unsubscribe: http://www.dfwcfug.org ----------------------------------------------- To post, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: Send UNSUBSCRIBE to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe / unsubscribe: http://www.dfwcfug.org
