ADF Installation

ADF Installation

The following steps outline the files to configure for your server.

1. Download the ADF (two options)
   • Latest zip archive (http://cfusion6.paperthin.com/projects/ADF/)
   • SVN (http://community.paperthin.com/svn/adf/)
2. Copy the ADF directory to your server at the same level as the CommonSpot directory. The name of the folder is "ADF" and must be all capital letters. The ADF should not be created within a CommonSpot site directory.
3. Create a ColdFusion Mapping ( /ADF ) to the ADF directory
4. Create a Website Mapping ( /ADF ) to the ADF directory

Note: At this point the ADF has been set up for the server.  

Set up the ADF to work with a site

Starter Files are located in the /ADF/core/site-sample directory. This contains a starter 'custom-application.cfm', 'ADF.cfc', and 'ajaxProxy.cfm'. These files contain the basic initialization code for the ADF configuration into a site.

1. Copy the ADF.cfc and ajaxProxy.cfm into the sites /_cs_apps/ directory.
2. Identify if your site is currently using a custom-application.cfm file.
   • If your site is running a custom-application.cfm file, then copy the contents of the starter custom-application.cfm into the top of your sites custom-application.cfm.
   • If not, then copy the custom-application.cfm to your sites root (ColdFusion restart is required).
3. Reset the ADF for the Server and Site.
