Admin Section Needs to Show Styling

Report · Jan 25, 2016

I am creating an admin section now. Should I go about this differently? I have gone through the learncfinaweek tutorials and copied the back end admin from that site and pasted it in for the new site. Is there more to connect than I am thinking to just paste in an admin section? I am thinking if I changed the adminPath to point to CoreBelief(the new site), it should have enough code to at least display the styling. It doesn't give an error, only no css displayed yet.

I can put the css and javascript up there if it will be helpful in finding the solution. I was thinking it might be in the Application.cfc.

Here is how far it gets with the Application.cfc file narrowed:

<cfset adminPath = createObject('CoreBelief.admin.cfc.system').getBasePath(cgi.script_name)/>

Do you perhaps mean

The CSS and Javascript strongly depend on the value of this variable, so dump and examine it:

Verify: <cfoutput>#adminPath#</cfoutput>

Thank You for your response.

I changed the cfset to this:

and still no change.

When doing a <cfoutput>#adminPath#</cfoutput> in the above pages, it gives this: /CoreBelief/admin/login.cfm/

That slash at the end is throwing it, apparently.

That test tells you all you needed to know. Your code is using adminPath as if it is a directory. Whereas it is actually the path to the file login.cfm.

To get the admin directory, try something like

So I got into the system.cfc and changed that three to a two, below. Since I have one less file path folder than the previous site, that makes sense.

Now, the <cfoutput>#adminPath#</cfoutput> gives /CoreBelief/admin

Thank You for your help.

component

{

public string function getBasePath(required string script_name){

var path = arguments.script_name & '/';

for(var i =listlen(path,'/'); 3 < i; i--){

path = ListDeleteAt(path,i,'/');

}

return path;

}

You could improve the solution to:

public string function getBasePath(required string script_name){

var path = getDirectoryFromPath(arguments.script_name);

return path;

}

By improve, do you mean make more redundant, so it doesn't break as easily? I am thinking that their is value in keeping code simple and fast. By fast I mean, keeping the code so it doesn't have to look for much with a function that could have variables available anyway. I am asking, then, what you mean by improving?

And I am wondering, if this could address a similar question I have about my variables not being found without the get() function on each of them. One site works without it, and another only works with it. So I am going to get them both to work without the get() function, because they should be okay without it. Or is that unrelated to the issue we are talking about?

By improve I mean:

simpler (fewer lines of code)
less complex (one function call instead of two)
more efficient (your code adds / then deletes it)
