The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CFTree to show CFDirectory structure

Asked by theSpaceCow in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: cftree, cfdirectory

Experts,

I need a CFTree control to show the contents of a folder on the webserver.  The structure of this directory is known and is not supposed to change: the root directory will contain no files itself, but will have exactly 1 level of subdirectories, which will have the pertinent files.  Is there a way to do this with a single CFDirectory tag, which can be "group by"ed and displayed with a single CFTreeItem tag?

Even if the solution is hardcoded (I'd actually prefer if it can be dynamically recursive to include any number of subdirectory levels, but I'm not picky), I need a CFDirectory query (or series of queries) that I can display with a CFTree.  CFTree must be really easy, because there seems to be no need for live, working examples out there. I couldn't find any, at least.  Can you retroactively go back and assign a child node to an existing node with the "parent" property? And how does one make the plus-signs appear next to unexpanded folders, along with the dotted lines to the child folders?

In short, I know nothing about CFDirectory, CFTree, or CFFile.  I haven't had much time to work on this, so I'd really appreciate your help on this.
Thanks!
RJ
