Custom Tags

Hi All, I am having a challenge getting to my CF administrator page.  CF 9.01, Windows 2008.  I've been working on it for a bit with no solution.  My question is, I have to install a custom tag.  Is there any way to install a custom tag without using CF Administrator page?  Thanks in advance! Greg

What kind of custom tag is it? If it's a CFML custom tag, no installation is required. If it's some other sort of custom tag, you might be able to do it through the admin API: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fcf.html If not, you can probably edit the appropriate configuration file directly: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/94a16ba6.html Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or on

you do not need to go anywhere near the cfadmin to use custom tags. CF will first look in the current folder for the custom tag, if it is not there then it will look in custom tag paths, You can set per application custom tag paths in your application.cfc or you can use CFIMPORT to import custom tag libraries. although if you cannot access your cfadmin it seems you have some other issues to worry about. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Short question, is this a CF custom tag or a CFX type tag. Custom tags don't have to be installed as others have said, to add to the prior comments, you can also use cfmodule and specify the exact path to the file as in <cfmodule  name = "Name of the Tag" template = "/path/to/custom/tag" etc. /> Normally I don't use custom tags if I can help it (at times crawling 100 yards over ground glass is easier) but you may find this helpful http://www.forta.com/books/0321292693/0321292693_chapter30.pdf ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
