using ZipCfc

[terrytnt]

I am trying to use the zipcfc I got from the CF exchange without any success other then empty zipfiles.
My site is at d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site
The zipcfc is in my custom tags folder

Could someone show me how I call the zip component and recurse all the directories and files under the demo_site folder.

I am relatively new to 6.1, but have used CF since version 3.

1) I don't think you need to have the file zip.cfc in the custom tags folder. Create the folder myCFCs in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site.

2) Copy the file zip.cfc from the custom tags folder to the folder myCFCs.

3) Save the following code in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site as the file zipper.cfm

<cfscript>
/* Create an instance of a component object */
zip = CreateObject("component", "myCFCs.Zip");
/* Add files to Zip file */
status = zip.AddFiles(zipFilePath="d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site\demo_site_zipped.zip", directory="d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site\", recurse="yes");
</cfscript>

4) Run zipper.cfm


There is a warning. The directory should not contain many subdirectories and files. If the directory demo_site contains even a dozen or so directories and subdirectories, several layers deep, the component may cause your computer to hang. More on that in the website of the author (Flash required).
