I was looking for a BlogCFC Blog Roll pod today and could not find one that suited my needs, so here is the one I built for my MySQL db (note the MySQL script can easily be converted for MSSQL or other db types).
This is the Blog Roll MySQL CREAT TABLE script:
-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `tblblogpod_blogroll`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tblblogpod_blogroll` (
`id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`href` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'http://' ,
`title` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL ,
`text` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL ,
`rel` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'external nofollow' ,
`target` VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL DEFAULT '_blank' ,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
ENGINE = MyISAM;
This is the Blog Roll Pod Code:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly='true'>
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding='utf-8'>
<!---
Name : Blogroll for BlogCFC & MySQL
Author : Erik Vergobbi Vold
--->
<cfquery name="getBlogRoll" datasource="#application.blog.getProperty('dsn')#" username="#application.blog.getProperty('username')#" password="#application.blog.getProperty('password')#">
SELECT text, href, title, rel, target
FROM tblblogpod_blogroll
ORDER BY text
</cfquery>
<cfmodule template="../../tags/podlayout.cfm" title="Blog Roll">
<cfloop query="getBlogRoll">
<cfoutput><a #iif( len(trim(title)) gt 0, de('title="'&title&'"'), de(''))# #iif( len(trim(target)) gt 0, de('target="'&target&'"'),de(''))# #iif( len(trim(rel)) gt 0, de('rel="'&rel&'"'), de('
'))# href="#href#">#text#</a><br /></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</cfmodule>
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly='false'/>
If anyone else decides to use this for MSSQL, or some other db type, please post the SQL script in a comment, thank you.
