Hi all (you may have been watching this thread for some time now :)
It turned out to be that cfa_userGet is leaving trailing or leading spaces
around the preferences UUID. A simple Trim() around the returned variable
fixed things up, but this shouldn't have been like this in the first
place...

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
