Two Farcry Video Tutorials Released

I released two Farcry video tutorials aimed at beginners. There have been so many new-comers to Farcry that complain about the non-existence of beginner guides.

Although these video tutorials are no perfect all-in-one solution, they are definitely a step in the right direction.

If people find them useful it is likely I will make more (still aimed at beginners). I would have no problem making advanced tutorials; however I'd prefer to get some beginner guides out of the way first to help the new-comers.


CF_Search_NextPrevious Custom Tag Update (v1.09)

New version 1.09 (CF_Search_NextPrevious)

I have made a revision to the ColdFusion custom tag CF_Search_NextPrevious. In most cases anyone using v1.03 or newer can just overwrite their old version with this one. However I do suggest looking at the "Upgrade" documentation (a couple minor changes may effect a few people. More details are provided in the documentation).

I'd like to mention a couple changes breifly. I removed the unnecessary <table> tags to allow developers to support a tableless presentation. Also this is the first version to support Farcry.

Thanks to all the beta testers that made this revision possible over the past month and a half.

(Change log)

2004-10-06 v1.09
- Added attribute "objectID" (for Farcry Support)
- Added attribute "layout_previous"
- Added attribute "layout_next"
- Added attribute "layout_start"
- Added attribute "layout_end"
- Added LayoutNumber "3"
- Changed default filename from "./" to "index.cfm"
- Removed unnecessary <table> tag from output to support people wishing to use a tableless presentation.
- Removed attribute "EnableClasses" (now autochecking for styles).
- Removed attribute "LinkStyle2" (now using <div> tag for style inheritance).
- Changed attribute "LinkStyle1" to be used as an id (instead of a class).
- If you are upgrading to this tag from an older version and you
are currently using the above attribute (for custom styles),
please see upgrade documentation.
- Moved url.strt and url.show after ExtraURLString in <a> anchor tags
- ExtraURLString does not have to begin with an ampersand now.
- When using ExtraURLString, the ampersand can be written as "&" and will be converted to "&amp;" for the <a> anchor tags.
- Fixed some formatting issues with "CurrentPageWrapper_start" and "CurrentPageWrapper_end"
- Now all layout attributes have the option to be set to blank.
- Updated documentation (also grouped attributes in documentation).
- Minor bug fixes


CF_Search_NextPrevious (minor update v1.08b)

A minor bug was found in one of the newer features released in v1.08 where the new page wrappers were not always being displayed if the pages returned were less than the set amount. This has been fixed in this revision.


CF_Search_NextPrevious (minor update v1.08a)

I made a minor update to the tag last night. I removed an extra non breaking space I had in one of my preset LayoutNumbers. Since this is a minor revision an update from v1.08 to 1.08a is not necessary, but still suggested.

I want to give a special thanks to all those who have helped to test this last version and to those who have sent in their kind emails. Keep 'em coming.

New version 1.08 (CF_Search_NextPrevious)

I have made a revision to the ColdFusion custom tag CF_Search_NextPrevious. Anyone using v1.03 or newer can just overwrite their old version with this one. The major reason for this version update was to support XHTML. Other new features are listed below.

- Added attribute "DivStyle"
- Added attribute "EnableClasses"
- Added attribute "Separator_mid"

- Added attribute "CurrentPageWrapper_end"
- Added example 5 to demo
- Minor bug fixes


New v108 beta2 for Custom Tag Search_NextPrevious

We had a great time at my family's cottage. Sorry I don't have any pictures... they're still on the camara. Hannah (my 3month old daughter) was a doll and behaved pretty well overall.

Last night I worked on a new beta release for the custom tag Search_NextPrevious (v108 beta 2). I still have heard very little from people testing it. I would really like to hear people's feedback. Please help out if you can.

Changes since beta 1 are:

  • minor bug fixes
  • Added example 5 to demo (which takes advantage of the two new attributes below. It also demonstrates how you can use a preset stylesheet and still over-ride style classes. This override feature hasn't existed until v1.08b2).
  • Added attribute "CurrentPageWrapper_start"
  • Added attribute "CurrentPageWrapper_end"
All changes for v1.08 to date:

2004-08-20 v1.08 Beta2
- XHTML 1.0 support
- Added attribute "DivStyle"
- Added attribute "EnableClasses"
- Added attribute "Separator_mid"
- Added attribute "Separator_start"
- Added attribute "Separator_end"
- Added attribute "CurrentPageWrapper_start" //(new in beta2)
- Added attribute "CurrentPageWrapper_end" //(new in beta2)
- Added example 5 to demo
- Removed most whitespace
- Minor fixes

This revision is still in beta. The main purpose for this revision was to support XHTML. Other new features are listed below.

The demo.cfm file has also been updated to reflect XHTML support. Because I am not an expert on XHTML yet I'd like to hear whatever feedback you have to offer (hopefully not criticism :)

I look forward to people's input and assistance.

Revision Information:
2004-08-09 v1.08 Beta1
- XHTML 1.0 support

CF_Search_NextPrevious Custom Tag Update (v1.07)

New version 1.07 (CF_Search_NextPrevious)

I have made a revision to the ColdFusion custom tag CF_Search_NextPrevious. Anyone using v1.03 or newer can just overwrite their old version with this one. The major reason for this version update was because of user request to have the current page number center properly (like google does).

Revision Information:
2004-07-08 (v1.07)
- Current page number now centers properly (Google-style)
- Optimized code.
- Added attribute "CenterPageOffset"
- Minor fixes
