setting system wide variable based on an environment variable

[Mike Henke]

Here is a discussion for background of where I am coming from:
http://groups.google.com/group/cfwheels/browse_thread/thread/1ef535c08674a4e3/481ef70991537518

----

A variable that needs to be set into the set only once but is based on
an environment variable. I am putting it into each /environment/
settings.cfm file but it doesn't seem DRYsince I repeat the same code
in each environment settings.cfm file.

example of /config/design/settings.cfm

<cfset loc.myapp.site = "http://testwww.thissite.com">

<!--- this gets repeated exactly in each settings.cfm since it --->
<cfhttp url="#get('myapp').site#/banner_main.inc" result="header1" />
<cfset loc.myapp.header1 = acfheader1.Filecontent>

<cfhttp url="#get('myapp').site#/banner_main.inc" result="header2" />
<cfset loc.myapp.header2 = acfheader2.Filecontent>

<cfhttp url="#get('myapp').site#/banner_main.inc" result="header3" />
<cfset loc.myapp.header3 = acfheader3.Filecontent>

Any ideas how to dry this? I tried a partial but the function isn't
available yet. I also tried setting in the config/settings.cfm but
the environment/settings.cfm hasn't ran yet.

funny how there's another thread about this issue :)

what you can do, setup default in your config/settings:

<cfset loc.myapp.site = "http://testwww.thissite.com">

<!--- this gets repeated exactly in each settings.cfm since it --->
<cfhttp url="#get('myapp').site#/banner_main.inc" result="header1" />
<cfset loc.myapp.header1 = acfheader1.Filecontent>

<cfhttp url="#get('myapp').site#/banner_main.inc" result="header2" />
<cfset loc.myapp.header2 = acfheader2.Filecontent>

<cfhttp url="#get('myapp').site#/banner_main.inc" result="header3" />
<cfset loc.myapp.header3 = acfheader3.Filecontent>

<cfset set(myapp = loc.myapp)>

then in your config/design/settings you can do:

<cfset loc.myapp = get("myapp")>
<cfset loc.myapp.site = "http://example.com">
<cfset set(myapp = loc.myapp)>

only over riding the variables that you need in each environment.
