Re: Outputting all content from CFSWITCH

Well, pretty straightforward - if I wanted to allow users to do a keyword search across any content in the document (any CFCASE), how could I do that?

Thanks,
Jake

Both of those option will do what you originally asked about.

You going to have to elaborate on what you mean by "search across all of the
content", the word search is very ambiguous in it's context.

OK, I'm following now.

I'm not sure that that options works any better either - In the end, what I'm really trying to do is be able to search across all of the content in each CFCASE - so I can not only display, but search through then link to specific content.

Is there another way to do this?

I'm confused about what your asking. Your two options are to convert the
CFSWITCH tag into a CFSCRIPT based code, then add the "all" case and the if
statement to each case. Or, put a cfloop (list type) around your CFSWITCH
tag. The downside to the loop is that your have to pass every case value to
the loop. If you add a case to the switch you need to add it to the list. I
don't like that from a maintainability standpoint. I would use the CFSCRIPT
version.

So basically, you're saying that I'd set up a CFSCRIPT like this at the top of my doc with the CFSWITCH, add each case to that CFSCRIPT, then output the "single" CFCASE of "all"?

I don't necessarily mind CFLOOPs... how would that work?

Actually I just had a mind glitch, the switch can only receive one value




but




the cases can bind to multiple values. So, you would need to do something
like this:

<cfscript>
switch(variable)
{
        case "value1": case "all":
                //display something
                if(variable != "all")
                        break;

        case "value2": case "all":
                //display something else
                if(variable != "all")
                        break;
        
        default:
                //display default display
}
</cfscript>

Well it's not as pretty anymore. But if you really want this functionality
built into the switch and want to avoid loops, then this is probably the
best way to go.

I'm not very good with CFSCRIPT - would you mind providing an example? Thanks so much!

A break command is built into the CFCASE tag, so even if you passed in a
list of all CASEes it would break after the first match. However, if you






use






CFSCRIPT and build your switch there, you have to explicitly state your
break commands after every case. So the list would work.

So convert the page to CFSCRIPT.

I have a help file that is broken out into separate CFCASE statements. (On each page of the admin, the appropriate CFCASE is read in to display the contextual correct help content).

I'd like to be able to output all help on one page ... how can I output every CFCASE statement on one page without having to manually code each separate CFCASE output?

Thanks!
Jake
