Subject: Re: Need Help With Displaying Objects
I think I am close to figuring out where the problem is but I might
need a
little more help. I understand I have a lot to learn and probably
could
benefit from some professional training. However, it will be some
time
before I can attend a class and I need this problem solved now so I
can go
ahead with my application. So, if you know what my problem is, please
give
me a hint!
Remember back when I said that some of the code works and some
doesn't?
I created a separate test file to isolate what is working and what is
not.
The following code works:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfset typeid="DA432A6C-BA91-11D4-BA0900C04FA358B2">
<cfa_ContentObjectGetMultiple
datasource="suntimes"
typeid="#typeid#"
r_stobjects="stObjects">
<cfa_contentObject
dataSource="#request.cfa.objectstore.dsn#"
stObjects="#stObjects#"
method="teaser"
>
</body>
</html>
However when I add in the userGet statement and I set the typeid to
request.stUserProfile.preferences.favoriteSection, the code doesn't
work:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfa_userGet
userDirectory="UserDirectory"
username="#request.cfa.activeuser#"
r_stUser="stUser">
<cfset typeid="request.stUserProfile.preferences.favoriteSection">
<cfa_ContentObjectGetMultiple
datasource="suntimes"
typeid="#typeid#"
r_stobjects="stObjects">
<cfa_contentObject
dataSource="#request.cfa.objectstore.dsn#"
stObjects="#stObjects#"
method="teaser"
>
</body>
</html>
As you can see the only real difference between the two code samples
is that
I set typeid to a static UUID in one example and a dynamic value in
another.
Also, when I try to output the value of
request.stUserProfile.preferences.favoriteSection, the UUID does
output
successfully, as in the following example:
<cfa_userGet
userDirectory="UserDirectory"
username="#request.cfa.activeuser#"
r_stUser="stUser">
<cfoutput>#request.stUserProfile.preferences.favoriteSection#
</cfoutput>
Well, I will continue to test my code to try to find an answer. If
someone
has any idea how to fix this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Laura
