CFX_ReplaceInQuery

This ColdFusion custom tag allows you to perform global replacements within queries with virtually no decrease in performance. It is convenient for replacing NULLs and empty strings, but it may be used for any string. All you have to do is place the tag below your query and supply the name of the query. The specified OrigString (e.g., "", which includes both NULL values and empty strings) will be replaced with a user-specified ReplaceString (default is '-').

CF_DHTMLQUERY

CF_DHTMLQUERY generates a table (like CF_DUMPQUERY), but each column is client-side resortable (using DHTML) if they are using IE4+. Otherwise a normal table is generated.

cf_states

CF_states is a ColdFusion custom tag that displays the two-letter state abbreviation, or a state's full name in a select list. It allows the user to select one or multiple states, background and text colors, and fonts.

Spectra Studio Integration

Creates full Studio integration for all the tags in the Allaire Spectra Tag Reference Documentation. Extends the Spectra toolbar so it is possible to insert an object ID directly into a page in Studio.

CF_IncrementAlpha

CF_INCREMENTALPHA takes an initial letter or series of letters (or word) and increments the last letter. This tag would be useful if you had a series of items and wanted to identify them with a series of letters instead of numbers.

e-church

Provides an affordable web solution for small- to medium-sized churches. Most of the content on the site is dynamic, running on an Access 2000 database. It puts control of the website into the hands of the local church staff, virtually eliminating the continuing costs of site maintenance. The church staff does not need to have any knowledge of web design or development to maintain an updated and fully functional web site. Includes church mission, ministries, bulletin, facilities tour, contact information, and worship services. Open source code--easy to customize!

CF_ROWS

This is especially created for work with CF_ResultPages. See in that tag how they work together (although you can use CF_ROWS tag just for setting the StartRow (for CFOUTPUT cases), the EndRow (for CFLOOP cases), and the maxrows (for either)).

LightningDOCS

LightningDOCS is our comprehensive application for document management. This personalizable application features a secure login form, online help documentation, and more.

BrowserRedirect

Automatically generates Javascript that redirects the user based on his/her browser and platform. Allows the developer to choose distinct URL's for each browser/platform combination.

CF_ResultPages

Displays the Result Pages of a query and lets you link to next or previous pages and next and previous series of pages. So you can pass from ten to ten pages or the number you specify in maxpages=" ".

urlPipe

The urlPipe is a set of three Java classes (now includes source code) that expand the power of Internet browsers by allowing data to be exchanged with a web server without having to post back each page. Instead, urlPipe uses sockets to communicate with the parent web server.

Plain text to HTML URLs

This tag finds URL's (like http://mail.yahoo.com) in the middle of plain text. It is not currently a custom tag, but could easily be made into one. If you've downloaded it recently, go to my site and get the newer, much more powerful, version for free.

html2PDF

Here is a custom tag (cfx_html2PDF) that will take the contents of static html page and write them to Adobe PDF on the fly. What I do is dynamically generate a static html page based on some user input or db input, and then I run this tag on it. You can format the html page the way you are familiar with (give it the look and feel). This will give you the PDF you are looking for. Once I've written the PDF out, I then delete the static html file that was dynamically generated and make the PDF available to the user. This tag is currently unsupported and I've only tested it on NT4.0 and IIS.

CF_Romanize

CF_ROMANIZE takes any positive whole integer and recreates it as a Roman Numeral. Any whole number, starting with 1, will easily convert into Roman Numerals. It's pretty simple, actually! To install, simply place the tag (ROMAINZE.CFM) in your Custom Tags directory under CFUSION!
