this scope in plugin cfc

[Sameer Gupta]

hello,

i am unable use this scope in a plugin i am creating. may be i am
doing it wrong. i am getting an error when returning a variable using
cfreturn when called from my cfc. but if i call the function from my
view it works fine.

init function:

this.fontDirectory = expandPath("files/fonts/");


somewhere else in the cfc:

<cfset dir = getFontDirectory() /> ...... this calls the
getFontDirectory function in my CFC.


getFontDirectory function:

<cfreturn this.fontDirectory /> ...... error occurs here when called
from the line above.

but when i call getFontDirectory from view error doesn't occur. I use
the following syntax:
wheels.application.plugins.myplugin.getFontDirectory()


can somebody tell me what i am doing wrong.


best
sameer

It all depends on how you are telling Wheels to inject the methods.

If you tell it to inject a method it won't be able to access the this scope anymore when called from within the Wheels context since only the method has been moved, not the rest of the component.
