Chapter 24: Building a Search Interface
Creating a ColdFusion search tool programmatically
You can create a Verity search tool for your ColdFusion application in CFML. Although writing
CFML code can take more development time than using these tools, there are situations in which
writing code is the preferred development method.
Creating a collection with the cfcollection tag
The following are cases in which you might prefer using the
cfcollection
tag rather than the
ColdFusion MX Administrator to create a collection:
•
You want your ColdFusion application to be able to create, delete, and maintain a collection.
•
You do not want to expose the ColdFusion MX Administrator to users.
•
You want to create indexes on servers that you cannot access directly; for example, if you use a
hosting company.
When using the
cfcollection
tag, you can specify the same attributes as in the ColdFusion MX
Administrator:
•
action
(Optional) The action to perform on the collection (create, delete, repair, or
optimize). The default value for the
action
attribute is
list
. For more information, see
cfcollection
in
CFML Reference
.
•
collection
The name of the new collection, or the name of a collection upon which you will
perform an action.
•
path
The location for the Verity collection.
•
language
(Optional) The language used to create the collection (English, by default).
You can create a collection by directly assigning a value to the
name
attribute of the
cfcollection
tag, as shown in the following code:
<cfcollection action = "create"
collection = "a_new_collection"
path = "c:\CFusionMX\verity\collections\">
If you want your users to be able to dynamically supply the name and location for a new
collection, use the following procedures to create form and action pages.
To create a simple collection form page:
1
Create a ColdFusion page with the following content:
<html>
<head>
<title>Collection Creation Input Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Specify a collection</h2>
<form action="collection_create_action.cfm" method="POST">
<p>Collection name:
<input type="text" name="CollectionName" size="25"></p>
<p>What do you want to do with the collection?</p>
<input type="radio"
name="CollectionAction"
value="Create" checked>Create<br>
<input type="radio"
