CF_DebugHandler
This custom tag allows a calling template (tag) to output some debugging information to various devices such
as the screen, file or in a variable.
To optimize performance and avoid having more then one request and multiple
tags within a request mangle the output sequence, the tag makes use of a
caching structure. The cache is then flushed by the requester on demand
which ensures that it doesn't get mangled with data from another template's
output.

rot13
From The Jargon File: rot13 /rot ther'teen/ /n.,v./
[Usenet: from `rotate alphabet 13 places'] The simple Caesar-cypher
encryption that replaces each English letter with the one 13 places forward
or back along the alphabet, so that "The butler did it!" becomes "Gur ohgyre
qvq vg!" Most Usenet news reading and posting programs include a rot13
feature. It is used to enclose the text in a sealed wrapper that the reader
must choose to open -- e.g., for posting things that might offend some
readers, or spoilers. A major advantage of rot13 over rot(N) for other N is
that it is self-inverse, so the same code can be used for encoding and
decoding.
FAQ System -- Advanced
Version
Save your company and your customers' time by implementing a
Frequently Asked Question Database. This module allows you to
organize information about your products and services into a searchable
database. When a customer turns to your web site for help, the
information that they need will readily accessible and easy to find. AND -- you won't waste time answering the same basic questions over and over again via phone and email!
FreeZip
FreeZip has two functions. 1. Feed it two zip codes; it will give you
the as-the-crow-flies distance from one zip code to the other.
2. Feed it a zip code and a radius in miles, and it will list all the zip
codes in the radius. You can then use this to have a user enter a zip code
and view all store locations, etc, within a given distance.
iFrame
iFrame is a ColdFusion open-source visual framework to develop
database-driven web applications. iFrame is not about business logic, but
all about presentation. It is a presentation layer for CF and uses
high-level page elements (such as a form or a result list) as custom tags.
Programmers can quickly develop and deploy web applications using a mixture
of iFrame custom tags and custom CFML code. Look-and-feel can easily be
changed by using other stylesheets.

CF custom tag that accepts an SQL result set returned as XML data in row order and converts it into a CF query.
CFX_AFCHECKEMAIL
CFX_AFCHECKEMAIL is an open-source Java-based custom tag component
designed to catch invalid or fraudulent Email addresses.
SortByValue
Given an associative array, this tag returns the keys,
sorted by the value of those keys. So, given <cfscript> a["bob"]=5;
a["alice"]=10; a["fred"]=2; </cfscript>, SortByValue Returns a list
"alice","bob","fred".
xml2cfqry
This tag accepts an SQL result set returned as XML data in row order and
converts it into a CF query, so it can be accessed as a normal CF result
set.
CF_NOAAWeather
Based on CF_myWeather v1.0 by Rich Rein, this Custom Tag draws data from
the National Weather Service. Unlike data from Weather.com and
Accuweather.com, the National Weather service maintains this data for free
public use.
When using this Custom Tag it is important to check
http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/textversion/states.html to determine if a
city is indexed. Some cities, such as Denver, are referenced by the regional
airport DENVER INTL AP. There are a few cities whose references in the NOAA
data do not check correctly through this version. This will be corrected in
future versions.
CF_PayPal
This is a very simple custom tag that allows you to quickly and easily
build a store on your web site, using your PayPal account to process
payments. When I user clicks the "Buy Now" image next to an item on your
site, they are directed to the PayPal servers, where your account name, the
item they are buying, and the purchase price already appear pre-filled. All
they have to do is complete the transaction, and the money is deposited to your PayPal account.
For a demo of this tag in action, visit

Poll_Lizard
This is a very simple Polling Program. The nice thing about it is that you
