How can you display a variable within a variable?
I have a client who needs to control the content of all email notices that go
out to their clients.
Email notices have some dynamic content such as grabbing customer name or
account details. The value of the email notice content is stored in
There's no simple way to do this (as far as I'm aware) in ColdFusion.
BlueDragon has a very useful function - Render() - which will parse
the contents of a variable, exactly as you describe.
But on ColdFusion, I've always handled cases like this by having my
templates as flat files to be
Seb,
Thank you for the reply.
I am not quite sure I am following how I would include this as a flat file?
Thanks,
Devin

Maya,
When you're setting up your initial variable, can't you do something
like cfset variables.emailMessage = Dear variables.customerName
chr(10) chr(13) Message here /
- then you're combining the variables before you use them...

Does evaluate do the trick?

On another note - I have done something similar for a client where
they could setup various email templates. What I did was to give them
a set of keys they could use in their email body that would be
replaced with the relevent data. The options I gave them were like:
[title],
[firstname],
Thanks Dominic I'll give that a try!

Either:
1. Have a separate file with just the content of the email, including
the variables you want replaced, and include it in your cfmail like
this:
cfmail ...
cfinclude template=myemailtemplate.cfm /
/cfmail
or:
2. If your template text is in a database, you could generate a temp

Yes, this is far better than using CAPTCHAs. It's accessible and
usable, and will get you the same (or better) results.

So, for production, I should be able to leave trusted cache on while
turning off save class files. Are there any potential problems with
that? (other than the page loads slowing down on server restarts)
No, that's perfectly ok, and optimal in many cases.

No.. These are actual people. The site they were advertising and
spamming is low budget enough not to use bots. I also have a logic

Just someone willingly spamming. :)
Is blocking links an option? Link spam isn't worth much without links.
Dave Watts,
This is more of a general question. I'm trying to figure out the best way to go
about implementing something.
My client wants to expand our sports clothing website to more than one
sport/website.
So for example, www.xsports.com would house:
www.xsportsvolleyball.com
www.xsportsbaseball.com
cfquery datasource=#CloudDatasource# name=Permissions
select *
from Permissions
order by UserID
/cfquery
cfoutput query=Permissions
cfloop index=Index list=#Permissions.columnlist#
cfif Permissions[Index][currentrow] EQ 1
You are looping over the column names of the query so that your if
statement, cfif Permissions[Index][currentrow] EQ 1, will be
evaluated for each column. This means that
Permissions.Accounting[currentRow] will be compared to the number 1.
If it is not a number, the comparison will throw a wobbly.
The value is 1. It's not Null.
I tried putting a val around it and it still bombs out.
I can't see where my logic is wrong.

If Accounting should be a number but can be null in the database, you

Did you try dumping the values?

Hi guys, I've just installed CF8 on my Vista 64 bit, and, as most of you know,
it doesn't go very well.
I have googled for a solution but I just cant get it right.
So what I need is a step-by-step instruction on how to make it work.
Thanks in advance,
resident moron...

Strange..
When I cfdump var=#Permissions# I get a 0.
When I cfdump var=#Permissions.Recordcount# I get 45 (The correct
recordcount).
But when I changed the Permissions query to Settings, it worked...
Weird. Thanks for the tip. :)

Assuming your email message is _not_ in the database, just use
cfsavecontent and appropriately nested cfoutput.
cfsavecontent variable=emailContent
cfoutput
pDear #customer#:/p
pPay your $(*ing bill already./p
/cfoutput
/cfsavecontent
What I did for RIAForge is simply sniff the CGI variable hostname
I believe. Maybe server_name. Either way, when you go to
x.riaforge.org, and it isn't www.riaforge.org, we treat it as a
project home page. I convert from x to a real project primary key
value, and from there it is a trivial

two multiple select boxes. Similar with the CrossSelect tag, But I
need the query for the first select to be driven by another select.
Something like the bind feature in CF8 where the first select will
