url, url_type, url_param, url_suffix

If you plan to create a tree with links or a jumpmenu, it is needed to choose wich type of url you want to create. There are two different values for the url_type:

• url_type="db"
• url_type="param"

url_type="db"

In this case you will take the whole link/url for each node from a given table column. This table column is represented by the attribute url.

<cf_dbtree
datasource="datasource name"
table="table name"
action="get"
type="linked"
instancename="id of the list"
contentfield="column name"
url_type="db"
url="column name">

url_type="param"

In this case you must define an url and indicate with the attribute url_param wich table column to use as the url parameter behind your url.

<cf_dbtree
datasource="datasource name"
table="table name"
action="get"
type="linked"
instancename="id of the list"
contentfield="column name"
url_type="param"
url="sample.cfm?id="
url_param="id">

url_suffix

The url_suffix was made to give you the possibility to add a suffix at the end of each link. This is useful when you want to create search engine friendly urls with DBTree. In that case, a url handler script will be required.

<cf_dbtree
datasource="datasource name"
table="table name"
action="get"
type="linked"
instancename="id of the list"
contentfield="column name"
url_type="param"
url="http://www.megalingo.com/gotopage.cfm/id/"
url_param="id"
url_suffix=".cfm">
