I've hit a brick wall here, so would gladly appreciate some
input!
I'm trying to automate, as much as possible, the creation of
'sub sites' under a domain. At the moment, the directory is created
using CFDirectory and the static files (images, css docs etc) are
copied into it. However, I need to be able to set the datasource
specific to the sub-site - which I had planned to do within the
application.cfm file.
I can get CFFile to create the application.cfm file, and put
it in the right place, but the actual file itself is empty.
All I need the application.cfm file to contain is <cfset
datasource="blah"> (for the time being at least, but once I
solve this issue I'll be able to address anything else I need to
add later).
Now, I have 2 problems here -
Firstly, I need the CFFile to actually write the code into
the application.cfm file - at the moment it just executes, and
therefore produces a blank page. Secondly, the 'blah' part I need
to actually be executed, because the actual datasource name I want
to write into the page will be determined by the page that is
running the cffile (and getting the variable from a form the page
before).
Hope that makes sense, but if anyone else can suggest a
better method for doing this, I'm all ears!
