CFC Questions

Hi,

I have created a .cfc file with some common functions. Its location is

wwwroot\cms\lib\common.functions.cfc

I'd like to use this on multiple pages of my site but I'm not 100% sure of how to link to it. To give an example, my login form is located in

wwwroot\cms\directory\members\login.cfm my problem is that I've only ever used cfc's that where in the same directory of the page that was using it.

Can anyone please help me?

I'm guessing you tried just putting in the directory in the the cfinvoke?

Not 100% sure of what you mean. I can stick the cfc file in the same directory but that would defeat the purpose of what I'm trying to do. I want a common library of functions. But I want them stored in their own directory for organization. I do this in php all the time but all I have to do in that language is

require_once "../../common-functions.php";

in this language I cant include a file and then run a function from it i'm guessing.

I haven't tried it myself, but i was thinking something like:

<cfinvoke component="Library\My_Proc"></cfinvoke>

CFCs use dot paths, so you would do:

<cfinvoke component="cms.lib.common.functions".../>

or

<cfset functions = CreateObject('component', 'cms.lib.common.functions') />
#functions.someMethodName()#

There we go! knew there had to be a way.

Thank you very much, that worked great!
