Hi Guys, CopyToScope is a helper functionality. You can use it to shorten the number of lines of code needed to pull data from the event object. While most people will use it in their views, it can be used to copy stuff over to the session, or application or anything that works like a struct.
Model-Glue.com and the blog are back up now. The post detailing copyToScope() is here: http://www.model-glue.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/9/9/New-Model-Glue-3-Feature-copyToScope Dan On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 10:13 AM, Chris Blackwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jamie, > > Looks like Ray's webserver has gone flakey again as riaforge.org is also > down with the same error. > > I've got a recent (last week) checkout from SVN and the method your after > is included in the EventContext.cfc > > <cffunction name="copyToScope" output="false" access="public" > returntype="void" hint="I copy values from the event into the desired > scope"> > <cfargument name="scope" type="struct" required="true"/> > <cfargument name="ListOfEventKeys" type="string" default="true"/> > <cfargument name="ArrayOfDefaults" type="array" > default="#arrayNew(1)#"/> > > in Unity, views referenced values set in the controller through a variable > called "viewstate" , but in Gesture both controllers and views use "event" > for consistency. viewstate is still available in Gesture views, its just a > reference to the event object > > Cheers, Chris > > 2008/11/18 Jamie Krug <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> Hi, all, >> >> I have a couple MG Gesture questions and also wanted to alert Joe/ >> others of the site being down. >> >> I figured I'd post this here as a heads up since I'm not sure how to >> contact Joe, as his firemoss.com site it down too...
