Custom tag paths per application


For those using shared hosting providers, you are now able to use custom tag paths in more secure, stable ways. Here is some good news for those using shared hosting providers. This will enable the use of custom tag path mappings set in Application.cfc similar to the previous mappings:

  • Check the Enable Per App Settings option on the Settings page of the ColdFusion Administrator. (Or, ask the hosting provider or web administrator for the site to do so.)

  • Include code similar to the following in your Application.cfc file:

    <cfset customtagpaths = "c:\mapped1,c:\mapped2">
    <cfset customtagpaths = ListAppend(customtagpaths,"c:\mapped3")> 
    <cfset This.customtagpaths = customtagpaths>
