RE: [Reactor For CF] custom init()

[Doug Hughes]

Reactor actually intentionally doesn’t use the init method convention.  It does create a base init method which accepts arguments for each of the properties.  Because Reactor doesn’t use this you’re free to change it to suit you needs.  You can override the method and add an extra argument to pass in the treemanager or simply remove all the arguments and add just the treeManager.  It’s up to you!   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gareth Cole Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 3:23 PM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: [Reactor For CF] custom init()   Hi,   I’m still learning my way through Reactor and CFCs in general, and I’m a bit stuck.   I have a ‘Page’ table as part of a cms. I want to add a custom method called getBreadCrumbs() that returns an array of breadcrumb links for the specific page. I plan to add this method to the custom PageRecord cfc.   So far, I know what I’m doing. My problem is that the getBreadCrumbs() method will need to access an instance of TreeManager.cfc (with thanks to Barney B for this cfc). From what I’ve been told, it’s best not to hard code a reference to the TreeManager instance – instead it’s better to pass a reference in the init() method.   I don’t know how to do this in Reactor. I thought about writing a custom init() method, but I’m not sure if this would break things.   Any suggestions?   Thanks,   Gareth -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List -- reactor@doughughes.net -- Archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/ -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List -- reactor@doughughes.net -- Archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/
