Handler with URL var

[DFGrumpy]

I am trying to do this but apparently builder doesn't like it that
much. I am building extensions with a bunch of menu options. I don't
want to have to create a cfm handler file for each item. Adding a url
var to the hander would allow me to have only a single cfm file. The
ideeventinfo doesn't give any info as to what menu item was selected.
Anyone know of another way to do this?



<handler id="insHeader" type="cfm" filename="insCode.cfm?test=1" />



Thanks,

I do not believe it is possible. What you could possibly do is using
something like this:

<handler id="a" type="cfm" filename="a.cfm" />
<handler id="b" type="cfm" filename="b.cfm" />

And in both files simply have them do a include to core.cfm. core.cfm
could look at cgi.sciprt_name to tell how it was run.

OR - if you can assume CF8, I believe you can use onMissingFile in
App.cfc and simply run core.cfm and sniff what was originally
requested.

I haven't tested this - but now I'm tempted too. :)

Thanks for the response. I am looking into a bunch of things to make
this easier. I do like the onMissingFile idea. The extension I am
building currently has over 20 cfm files that are all identical except
for a single line. At this rate it will have over 50 by the time I am
done. This is driving me nuts.

There has got to be a better way to do this.

The more I think about it, the more I think onMissingFIle would be
perfect. I'm going to do a proof of concept and blog it later today -
but with Mardi Gras season it may be delayed. ;) If you get it working
quicker, do you mind me blogging it anyway? :)

No go right ahead... I am going to try it later myself. It does seem
like a viable alternative.

I used Ray's suggestion to build this extension http://jqmobilehelper.riaforge.org/

Take a look at the source to see it implemented.
