cfswitch - application.cfm - problem 1

[coldfused]

Can someone try this for me please?


Application.cfm:

<cfset GlobalSwitch="Home,Resort,Location,Contact">

Page.cfm

<cfswitch expression="#PageTitle#">
<cfcase value="GlobalSwitch">
<cfoutput>
<title>#metaTitle["#PageTitle#"]#</title>
<meta name="Description" content="#metaDescription["#PageTitle#"]#" />
<meta name="Keywords" content="#metaKeywords["#PageTitle#"]#" />
</cfoutput>
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>

I can't get the cfcase "value" to populate with the variable "GlobalSwitch".

Any ideas why this won't work?

Doesn't work. I tried that before I posted and I get this error message:

This expression must have a constant value.  
 
  
ColdFusion cannot determine the line of the template that caused this error. This is often caused by an error in the exception handling subsystem.

That's whay I wanted you to guys to try it so you can see what it was doing. Are we not able to populate a cfcase value from a variable?

hey, i never knew that (probably because i don't use CFSWITCH)

if you only have one CFCASE inside your CFSWITCH, why not use a simple CFIF?

Just out of curiousity, where is your #PageTitle# var defined?

#PageTitle# is defined at the begining of each page.

i knew that

try this --

<cfif ListFindNoCase(GlobalSwitch,PageTitle)>
<cfoutput>
<title>#metaTitle["#PageTitle#"]#</title>
<meta name="Description"
content="#metaDescription["#PageTitle#"]#" />
<meta name="Keywords"
content="#metaKeywords["#PageTitle#"]#" />
</cfoutput>
</cfif>

i dunno about the meta stuff, but the ListFindNoCase should work

Awesome Rudy, thanks so much for that. Any idea why Coldfusion will not let us populate the cfcase value?
