Examples

The getCEDdata function is handy way to get data out of a CommonSpot Custom Element. Making a call to this method will return an Array of Structures of the data contained in the element specified.

Usage:

Example 1: Use getCEData to get ALL records in a Custom Element:

<cfscript>
     // get data form the "My Element" custom element 
     data = application.ADF.ceData.getCEData(
                       customElementName="My Element"
                      );
</cfscript>

<!---// loop over results (will be all records from the Custom Element)  --->
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(data)#" index="itm">
    <!---// renders data from the uniqueID and Title fields from the element --->
    <cfoutput>#data[itm].values.uniqueID# #data[itm].values.Title#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

Example 2: Use getCEData to get only the records that match the provided value for a specific field:

<cfscript>
     // get data form the "My Element" custom element by a uniqueID value
     data = application.ADF.ceData.getCEData(
                       customElementName="My Element",
                       customElementFieldName="uniqueID",
                       item='DF6D9B32-1143-FF53-952805B368AB301B'
                      );
</cfscript>

<!---// loop over results (will only be records that matched the criteria)  --->
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(data)#" index="itm">
    <!---// renders data from the uniqueID and Title fields from the element --->
    <cfoutput>#data[itm].values.uniqueID# #data[itm].values.Title#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
