Yes, a CFLOCATION initiates a NEW request, so request-scope variables will not carry through. There are any number of ways to pass variables around if you need to: URL, CLient Vars, etc. I normally opt for the URL. Just append the parameters onto the URL in your CFLOCATION.

Best of luck, Lee.

Hello anybody,

I have been creating my first fusebox application and I am a little unclear on the request scope as it relates to cflocation. After a cflocation a request scope set in an action template is no longer available.

Example

<CFCASE VALUE="AddUpdateCarrier">

// used to update the database and to run a select query to get // the Company Name so I can pass it the Add User Form for // display. I tried using <CFSET Request.sCompanyName = #qryGetCompany.sCompanyName#> // in this template. <CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="act_AddCopmpany.cfm">

// the request scope variable shows up here <CFOUTPUT>#Request.sCompanyName#</CFOUTPUT>

// this template uses a CFLocation to so the user // can't reload/repost the previous form and calls the // fuseaction below "AddUpdateUser" <CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="url_AddUser.cfm">

</CFCASE>

<CFCASE VALUE="AddUpdateUser">

// <CFOUTPUT>#Request.sCompanyName#</CFOUTPUT> // will not be available to this template

<CFINCLUDE Template=dsp_AddUpdateUser.cfm>

</CFCASE>

Setting as Client scope works fine but not the Request scope.

Is there something I'm missing? I am developing on 4.01 and the Request scope works for all the variables set in app_server etc.

Also, is there any decent documentation anywhere on the request scope?

Best!
