Question about CF9 collections

[WolfShade]

Hello, everyone.

Quick question.  In CF9 Server Admin, if I use the Admin to create a collection, is there a way for someone else to see the details for that collection (ie, what folder(s), filetypes, etc.)?

I have not yet found how to do this.  We have a collection, but it was created so long ago that no one remembers which directory(ies) or what file extensions it is indexing.  We may need to rebuild it.

Thank you,

^_^

Anyone?

Off the top of my head: no. I checked (the docs) and <cfcollection> doesn't seem to have an INFO option, which I think is a bit of an oversight, now that I think about it.

Have you looked at what the CFAdmin API gives you? I don't have access to it right now, so cannot check for you.

Hi, Adam.

Thanks for the reply.  I have not looked into the CFAdmin API, but will check it out.

Yeah, it's kind of frustrating when you go to "edit" a collection and everything is set to default.

You might wanna raise an enhancement request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=home.

Even if it is possible via the Admin API, it should be doable via <cfcollection>, too.

Thanks for the link to the bugbase.  I have submitted it as a feature request, rather than as a bug (which I was really tempted to submit as a bug.  It does kind of bug me.)
