Using the BlogCFC5.5 'render' Folder
Here is an example of how to use the 'org/camden/blog/render/' folder in BlogCFC5.5 (and onwards I hope!)
I have a situation where I wanted to reduce typing for http links, so I thought I would write my own renderer for the <a> tag.
The spec was:
- Ignore fully done <a> tags
eg:
Here are the comments from the top of the CFC on how I wanted it to work:
<---
this function will find and <a></a> tags and render them.
The text in the tag is in this format <a>[URL],[Label],SnapPreview(True|false)]</a>
So to use it, do this:
<a>http://www.someurl.com,click here,true</a>
- will render a link to "www.someurl.com" with the text "click here" with the snapPreview (if you using snap...)
<a>http://www.someurl.com,click here,false</a>
- will render a link to "www.someurl.com" with the text "click here" with and without the snapPreview
<a>http://www.someurl.com,click here</a>
- will render a link to "www.someurl.com" with the text "click here" with the snapPreview (if you use snap...) - eg: third value defaults to true
<a>http://www.someurl.com</a>
- will render a link to "www.someurl.com" with the text "www.someurl.com" with the snapPreview (if you use snap...) - eg: third value defaults to true
--->
So to do this, did I need to edit the "blog.CFC"?
NO
All I did was create a CFC called "a.cfc", add to it a function called "renderDisplay" and add my parsing code to it.
I'll attach the CFC to this entry, and I will be the first to admit that the code in there is not my finest moment (I blame the cold I have at the moment!)
But the main point of this entry is to show the functionaliy in BlogCFC to add your own custom tags!
PS: Thanks to Steve Bryant for help with that majic called "regex"!
PPS: the HyperLinks in the entry are rendered by my custom "<a>" renderer!
I find it great as I keep on coming up with ideas for my blogs that involve custom tags to be rendered!
