This issue has been identified.
The problem has to do with the custom tag delimiter inside the
"bluedragon.xml" file. On a Linux system, the default behavior is to
separate the tag paths with a colon ":", but the OpenBD engine requires
that custom tags be separated with a semi-colon ";", so the fix is to
open the bluedragon.xml file and update the delimiter in the following
attribute:
Change this:
<cfmlcustomtags>
<mapping name="cf">
<directory>$/opt/openbd/customtags:$/mysite/customtags</directory>
<name>cf</name>
</mapping>
</cfmlcustomtags>
To this:
<cfmlcustomtags>
<mapping name="cf">
<directory>$/opt/openbd/customtags;$/mysite/customtags</directory>
<name>cf</name>
</mapping>
</cfmlcustomtags>
Notice the delimiter between the two custom tag mappings is changed from
a colon to a semi-colon.
After you update the bluedragon.xml file, give OpenBD a quick restart
(or whatever server you're running it on) and your custom tags should
work now.
I hope this post helps anyone having a similar problem.
