Revenge of the Dragon, pt II

By barneyb on May 25, 2005

Couple more little glitches as the app has continued to be tested:
1)
I mistyped 'reqeustTimeout' [sic] in a CFSETTING tag.  BD didn't
complain, and I didn't catch it, because the extra time for the request
never happened to be needed, but CF threw a syntax error immediately.
2)
BD 6.2 puts the CFFILE result struct from uploads into local variable
(if [...]

Fusebox 4.1 Lexicons

By barneyb on May 25, 2005

I was the presenter at the Portland, OR CFUG last week, and the
topic was Fusebox 4.1.  One of the big points of interest was
custom lexicons, so I thought I'd share a couple examples here as well.

CFARGUMENT/CFPARAM and DEFAULT

By barneyb on May 18, 2005

Say I have code like this (intentionally left incomplete):
<cffunction name="myMethod" …>
  <cfargument name="item" … required="true" />
  <cfargument name="childList" … required="false"
    default="#getChildList(item.id)#" />
  … do some stuff …
</cffunction>

Now you'd hope that CF wouldn't actually execute the getChildList
method unless it the variable was missing, but from the structure of
code, you might expect it to anyway.  Fortunately, [...]
