<cfabort> question

I have it so if they visit a certain part of my game, a x is put into a certain field in the database..

Then I have a template with an if on it..

If that field is x - they cannot visit any page or they will get an error then <cfabort>

If that field is o - they can continue with their buisness because they havent got to that point into the game

Well.. the question is - how can i make it so it WILL let them go back to that page to continue..

<cfif visited is 'x'>
You are stuck in the Mines. Click <a href="mines.cfm">here</a> to continue.<cfabort>
</cfif>

I don't want them to be able to visit any page (which its doing) except mines.cfm (which its not letting them continue with)

Hope that makes sence!

Not sure I'm following. Based on what you wrote, if visted is 'x', then you would see the link and after that it would abort. Is this not what you are seeing?

As an aside, using <cfabort> like this probably isn't the best approach. <cfabort> is really more of a debugging tool than anything else. You might consider either having some conditional logic that replaces the abort, or throw an exception with <cfthrow>.
